What Reddit Says About Quilting Apps

QuiltAssistant - FPP pattern creation, pixel quilt design ... I have a Momento and recently figured out how to get paper appliqué pieces into it via Inkscape.

I am a dumb ass, bought EQ8 on some great sale over a year ago and just installed in a couple weeks ago - why did I wait so long!!!! Seriously I was planning my quilts in powerpoint grids, EQ8 is so much easier and I am still on just the basic stuff.

Edit: found a "Quilt creator" too that apparently allows for several blocks to be placed around and so ... I have looked at that one, but it doesn’t seem like they are updating. Do you use it? Thanks. ... I used it earlier this year and found it pretty useful. ... Prequilt does this. The f...

You may want to look at Quilt Assistant (not affiliated).

Also, I have macbook pro with retina display, and some texts in the program interface itself are blurry, like pop out text, names on the buttons and such. I use default resolution on my machine and don't have external monitors so I currently suspect eq8 is at fault, especially since no other ap...

Work pays for Adobe Illustrator. On the weekends, I use it to plan quilts 😎

Prequilt and QuiltInk both have coloring pages for quilt patterns for designers who have opted in. They have some fabrics uploaded and some subscription options allow you to upload a certain amount of your own.

My laser pointer that makes my seams straight. Best thing for my wonky brain ever. ... My husband got me the SewQ laser that attaches to my machine and holy god it’s just amazing. I do all my own quilting and it’s made doing straight line geometric designs so easy.

I have a quilt template where I made a tiny version of all my pieces and put tape on the backs and repositioned them until I was satisfied, took a few days and then I ended up completely changing the layout 😅 ... I haven’t seen anything for iPad that even comes close to EQ. ... I use EQ8 and I love...

I posted a mock up the other day and someone asked what program I used so I thought I’d share my experience with prequilt. I saw a blog post about it on Suzy Quilts and thought I’d give it a try. The general idea and premise of the website/app ...

Robert Kaufman is a free quilting calculator app that has helpful info. I will be interested to see what others post as well.

I heard Quilt Wizard is but not sure if it is for IPhone or Android.

Electric Quilt is one of the paid programs out there.

Spending a lot of time nap trapped under my 3 month old and would love to use this time to plan for when I can sew, hence the app rather than paper! Thanks for any suggestions. Share ... Quiltful is great if you have iOS but not sure if it’s on android! you can upload photos, manage what step you ar...

I've not bought a subscription yet because I didn't have time to play with it, but it's really neat software. The downside is that's it's a subscription model and online only, but it's got neat capabilities ... It's about $50 US/year. Well worth it.

Like the title says, I'm looking for a free or inexpensive (sub $40) alternative to quilt design software like EQ8. I have paper and colored pencils, but I would much prefer to be able to move my design around digitally than to draw the entire thing all over again when I want to make a small ch...

Does anybody have a good design software/app they like to use? I have a sketch of a quilt I would like to make but would really like some way to draw it to scale and then export a list of the pieces with proper dimensions. I would be ok paying some but obviously prefer cheaper. Archived post. New co...

As for whether EQ8 was worth it? I guess if I had known all the abovementioned downfalls, I would still buy EQ8 for the qood things I mentioned above. My frustration comes from the disappointment that QA - a totally free software, performs better and smarter than the paid EQ8, albeit within its limi...
