Great gift for grandchildren and the computer-phobic!
Does Quilt Design Wizard replace EQ5 or EQ6? No, QDW is a software for
beginning quilters and beginning computer users. It is an inexpensive way for you to try
quilt designing on your computer for the first time. If you only need simple pieced
blocks, straight/horizontal layouts, on-point layouts, and want to play with color, then
Quilt Design Wizard may be for you.
Start by selecting a layout style, mattress size, and block size. Then add
borders. Quilt Design Wizard™ guides you step-by-step using an easy point-and-click
method.
Select from 200 quilt blocks colored with beautiful fabric and ready to
set into your layout. Blocks are color-coordinated in color families to help you choose
blocks that work well together. You'll be an instant designer with the Wizard's help.
Color the borders and you're ready to print! Quilt Design Wizard™ prints
fabric yardage estimates, rotary cutting charts, and sewing instructions for each block.
If you prefer templates or foundation piecing patterns, Quilt Design Wizard™ prints
those too!
You'll save hours because Quilt Design Wizard™ does all the
computing, calculating, and scaling. You just click print!
The designing is done. The patterns and yardage estimates are printed. You're
ready to sew! Quilt Design Wizard™ is loaded with every bit of information you'll
need. From buying supplies and fabrics, to assembly and quilting, to finishing and storing
your quilt – Quilt Design Wizard™ has it all.
200 Blocks
Whether you prefer the traditional charm of the Log Cabin block or the whimsical fun of a
pictorial Tractor block, you're sure to find something to suit your taste.
3000 Fabrics
Varied and vibrant fabrics invite you to play with color. Experiment with hundreds of
color combinations on screen before you ever cut the fabric.
Versatile layouts and borders
From simple wall quilts to large bed quilts, try out your ideas. Create hundreds of
different combinations of horizontal and on-point layouts. Add as many borders as you
like. Perfect for beginners or seasoned quilters.
Because you don't have to worry about the hassle of drawing blocks or scanning
fabrics in Quilt Design Wizard™, we still wanted you to have the chance to update the
content of your software. Quilt Design Wizard™ has a website all its own. You can get
a free downloadable Quilt Design Wizard™ project with all new blocks and fabrics each
month. Monthly projects are archived, so be sure to get all the ones you like. While you
are on the website check out the gallery of quilts.
