If you’ve been in the quilting business for more than a minute, you know how fast the seasons sneak up. One minute it’s summer sewing, and the next your customers are asking, “Do you have anything for fall or Christmas yet?”
At Laser Cut Quilts, we work with dozens of small shops every week, and we’ve noticed one thing all the successful ones have in common:
They start seasonal prep earlier than they feel ready—and they never regret it.
Here’s how to stay ahead of the seasonal curve this fall and how we can help you make the most of it:
1. Plan Your Seasonal Displays in August (Even If It Feels Too Soon)
Big-box retailers are already putting out pumpkins and pinecones, which means your customers are already in the mindset of fall. Use this to your advantage by prepping a fall table, wall, or window display now—especially with quick-finish kits or precuts they can grab and sew in a weekend.
🧡 Our Tip: Choose 2-3 themed displays like “Harvest at Home,” “Cozy Cabin,” or “Vintage Autumn.” Then build a few kits, fabrics, and notions around that vibe.
🧵 Need help filling it? Our "Oh Christmas Deer" and “Merry Merry” kits are already shipping and perfect for early displays.
2. Let Customers Know You're Ahead of the Game
If you're putting out fall kits in August or Christmas in September, don’t hide it—promote it! Early shoppers are planners and crafters, and they’ll love that you thought ahead.
📣 Post photos of new kits or seasonal bundles with captions like:
“Yes, we’re already thinking Christmas—because we know you are too!”
“Fall fabrics have landed! Get first pick before the rush.”
💌 Bonus tip: Send an email to your list with a “Fall Preview” to drive early foot traffic or online sales.
3. Make Buying Easy With Pre-Kitted Projects
Customers are more likely to grab something when it’s prepped and packaged. Whether you’re cutting your own or sourcing ready-to-go kits, make them visible, grab-and-go, and giftable.
✨ Our Promise: Every Laser Cut Kit is ready to display straight out of the box. No prep, no cutting—just open, display, and sell.
4. Stay in Touch With Your Suppliers
You can’t sell what you don’t have—and manufacturers are feeling the crunch of early buying, too. Communicate with your vendors now about holiday orders, backorders, or kits that tend to sell fast.
👋 From our side: We're a small business too, so we know the importance of turnaround time. If you have a retreat coming up, a fall shop hop, or want help planning seasonal kits early, we’re here to help.

5. Remember—Your Time is Limited Too
We know how many hats you wear—inventory, customer service, marketing, displays, maybe even longarm quilting on the side. That’s why getting ahead of seasonal sales isn’t just about profits. It’s about giving yourself a little breathing room to enjoy your busiest (and most festive!) time of year.
