Complete Guide: What is the Tribe tier and how do shared guest seats work?

If you sew with others, keeping track of shared fabrics, notions, and tools can quickly become chaotic. That is where the Tribe Tier comes in. Designed specifically for families, friends, sewing circles, guilds, and collaborative studios who share materials and workspace, the Tribe tier ensures everyone is on the exact same page.

At just $15.00 USD per month (or $150 yearly) , this collaborative digital atelier covers up to 4 users total—that is you plus 3 invited guests. It completely eliminates the frustration of arriving at the cutting table only to find that someone else used the last of your favorite interfacing.

Deep Dive into Tribe Tier Features

When you upgrade to the Tribe Tier, you get ALL of the incredible organizational tools included in the Crafter tier (like unlimited project tracking, franken-pattern linking, and the full personal stash vault), plus a robust suite of tools built for teamwork:

• Shared Stash Ledger: Stop wondering where your supplies went. This unified dashboard view tracks exactly who added, removed, or used yardage and notions in real-time. You will have a complete history of your shared studio’s inventory.
• Shared Team Stash Vault: Build a centralized library of textiles, zippers, and patterns that your entire group can search through from their own devices.
• Master Shopping Sync: If a guest notices you are running low on black thread, they don’t have to leave a sticky note. Any Tribe member can add an item to the “To Buy” list, instantly syncing it to the primary WooCommerce dashboard for the account owner to purchase.
• Shared Machine Alerts: Keep your communal equipment running smoothly. Track hours on shared sergers and sewing machines, and get shared machine alerts so everyone knows when it is time to change a needle or perform an oiling cycle. Proper preventive equipment maintenance is crucial when multiple people are putting miles on the same machine.

How Do Shared Guest Seats Work in the Tribe Tier?

We have made onboarding your studio mates incredibly simple. You do not need to share passwords or deal with complicated permissions.

Under the Tribe Collaboration menu, you can invite up to 3 members to your digital atelier directly from the app. Once you send the invite, guests receive an automated email with their login credentials, instantly granting them access to your shared inventory “Apartment”. If your group grows, you can easily scale seats anytime to accommodate more makers.
