Stitching Science: Climbing Goat Club - annual membership
Welcome to the Stitching Science stream of the Climbing Goat Club!
This listing is for the annual membership of Stitching Science. If you would prefer to have a bimonthly subscription, please click here.
Purchasing this listing will give you six sets of Stitching Science patterns for a reduced price. This is a one-off purchase (unlike the bimonthly subscription) - the next payment will NOT be automatically taken a year later. You will be sent a reminder email when your membership is close to expiring, and if you want to have another year of annual membership, you will need to purchase again. If you do not want to continue your membership, you do not need to do anything.
Note that your membership may run for less than a year, depending on when you first purchased. For example, if you purchased on 15th October, your first patterns would be the September patterns, and so your membership would expire at the end of the following August. You will always receive six sets of patterns for your membership, whenever you purchased.
There are two other streams to the Climbing Goat Club: the All The Things Club where you will receive a pattern every month (including all the Stitching Science patterns), which you can subscribe to now; and the Myths & More Club where you will receive bimonthly patterns on myths and other themes. Subscriptions to Myths & More open on 1st October.
The Stitching Science Club is a membership scheme where you will receive digital patterns bimonthly (every second month) on a wide variety of science themes. As with all my science patterns, I do an enormous amount of research to make them as accurate as possible - as well as looking beautiful! You don't need to know anything about the subject because each pattern includes detailed explanations, so you can learn about what you are stitching. Every month you will also receive a discount code giving you 5% off all other purchases on my website (other than gift vouchers and charity patterns). If you subscribe after the pattern release one month, you will receive your first subscription code in the next new pattern release.
As a subscriber you will receive an email from Climbing Goat Designs every month. Every other month you will receive at least two patterns, on the same (or similar) science topic. One pattern will usually be larger (though usually not that large - often fitting 6 to 8 inch hoops) and one pattern will be smaller (often fitting 3 or 4 inch hoops, or maybe a bookmark or something similar). Sometimes these will be larger and smaller versions of the same design, and sometimes they are two completely different designs on the same theme. Occasionally there may be a set of mini designs instead of a larger design. The idea is that this gives lots of flexibility for you to stitch what suits you, according to how much time you have available and how much you are able to stitch. And you can of course stitch both patterns!
On the intervening months, you will receive an email with a PDF giving details of the next month's science theme and information on the fabric and threads you will need so that if you wish, you can prepare to stitch the next patterns and be ready when they are released. The patterns themselves will be kept secret until they are released the following month, so that you can enjoy the surprise - a bit like an ongoing stitchalong.
New patterns are released in January, March, May, July, September and November. If you subscribe in the last 7 days before the start of any of these months, you will not receive the previous month’s patterns - instead your payment will cover the patterns released at the beginning of the following month. For example, if you subscribe on 28th August, your first patterns will be emailed to you around 4th September.
If you subscribe after the 4th of the month pattern release days, but not in the last seven days before the next pattern release, you will be able to instantly download the currently available patterns, and then the next pattern release will be the second of your total of six sets of patterns.
This is an entirely digital scheme - you won't receive anything in the mail.
Initially all patterns will only be available to those who join the Club scheme. After some time - at least a few months - I will release them for general availability on my website. If you become a Club member later on and would like to purchase previous Club patterns which haven’t yet been generally released, please let me know and I can invoice you for them personally. If you aren’t a Club member then you will need to wait for the general release.
When you purchase this listing, you will be able to download a welcome PDF to the Stitching Science Club, an introductory booklet for the upcoming patterns, and a PDF of cross stitch instructions. You will then receive the first patterns and the 5% discount code by email on 4th September.
A link to the downloads will be sent to the email address you give when you order. There will also be a link to download the files directly from the completed order page. The files are sent as PDFs in one zip file. Please unzip the file (right click > extract all) after downloading, and then you can open each PDF within the file.
You may need Adobe Reader to open the PDF files. If you don’t have it you can download it for free here: https://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
If you have any problems or need help please let me know! Thank you so much for being here :-)
Patterns are for personal use only.
