    Default Quilting software

    Has anyone bought a computer program to design your own quilts. I am looking in to getting a quilting program to make my own quilts. Any suggestions

    I went cheap and bought Quilt Wizard. It was only around $30. Obviously it can't do what EQ can do. But I really like it for my purposes.

    Quilt Wizzard is great for trying out different blocks and layouts and colors.
    You cant design your own blocks but it has a large selection.
    Its alot cheaper than the EQ7

    I bought Quilt Wizard and EQ at the same time. I haven't used Quilt Wizard in years because EQ is so much more powerful. I started with EQ6 and upgraded to EQ7. I use it all the time, on every quilt I make. I also have the Dear Jane software from EQ, which is based on EQ5.

    I bought EQ6 but haven't learner it. It has great potential but I still design by pencil and paper.

    I have and love EQ7.

    I purchased Quilt Wizard years ago when I saw it
    on sale (50% off) at Joann's but for the life of me
    can't remember why I even purchased it. Never have
    used it.

    I have had EQ5 for years, and added blockbase onto it... I love it... cant imagine being without it. Prior to that i had QuiltPro original (late 1990s ?) , then EQ3, then the 5.
