Question of the Week

Question for the week of May 5, 1997:

Our question this week comes from Mary Voss

What is the best computer program for designing quilts?

Judy O'Connor :
QuiltPro - I don't have it yet but have read good reviews and did try the Quilters Design Studio which was impossible. I just tried the earliest version of Electric Quilt so its probably better in a windows version.

Marie Wohadlo :
Quark Xpress, partly because I am used to it, and partly because of it's measurements which are accurate to .001 inch.

Boda :
I use the Electric Quilt and find it very user friendly. You can do one block with several colorings and then arrange them into the quilt.

Betty Gilliam :
EQ3

Lilo Wesely, patchfan@magnet,at :
I use Quilt Pro for more than a year now
and like it very much. Specially for designing blocks it is great.
I don't know any other program with a circle-, 8-point- or isometric grid.
Also it can print foundation piecing blocks and calculate yardage in inches and metric.
I could insert my own fabric through scanning.
I had no computer knowledge before and it was easy to learn.
