Quiltler - Quilt Designer

I enjoy using this app for designing my quilts. Unfortunately, it’s limited in some aspects. 1) I cannot figure out how to get smaller squares for the sash and binding. So, I never get a good perspective for the final product as the sash and binding show up as the same size as my blocks. 2) it would be helpful if there were a way to make notes about the fabric being used (info such as the size of the fabric I’m using, how many squares I can get out of it, where I purchased it in case I need to go back and get more, etc.) 3) it would be helpful to be able to edit the names of my blocks 4) it would also be helpful to be able to export or print out the blocks I have created. It’s easier for me to find duplicates that way. I am currently working on a sampler quilt with roughly 150 blocks. With that many it’s hard for me to spot duplicates unless I can see them “all at once.” Duplicates in name as well as duplicates in block layout.

So far this app is pretty basic as far as trying to design a quilt layout. Even after watching the video tutorial I still am having trouble figuring out how to add triangle units and such into a layout. The one thing I do like is that you can add pictures of the actual fabrics you plan to use in your layout to see a more realistic version of what it will look like when finished. The app has been very helpful for me deciding on placement of blocks for a disappearing 9 patch pattern, which I love to make but always end up having to make tons of adjustments during the piecing to ensure that I don’t have any of the same colors side by side. Being able to import my fabric into this has made disappearing 9 patch designs a breeze. I would love some clearer instructions on how to construct more advanced designs in this app.

Recently downloaded this app and started playing around with it, right off the bat noticed there is no hexagon shape pattern which is what I like to work with most. I also am having a hard time Figuring out how to get an equilateral triangle and not just the half square triangle? I suppose the hexagon and triangle I’m hoping for don’t create a perfect square which the developer might need. Understandable but makes it difficult/impossible to create the quilts I had in mind. Still a wonderful app and will come in handy if I ever plan on a quilt using the shapes available. I can see a lot of work has been put into this app and I think it is well worth the $2 would give 5 stars if an update came with a hexagon or new triangle!!

Update: recent updates have made this even easier to use. I’ve been using this app for a few years now and it has got a lot better with every update. They are really responsive too when I have a problem. I love having a way to electronically plan out quilts and play with colors and patterns. I didn't quilt for so long because we were tight on space and my kids and dog were always crawling all over everything. This really helps me avoid that from happening so much! It is also great for planning fabric. I can upload an image of different fabric lines and use that to determine yardage, scale, etc.

-I was looking for a design program that would allow you to not just the number of pieces necessary for the quilt, but the actual yardage needed for said block and/or for pieces of blocks. -I assumed the app would calculate the yardage of blocks, but all you end up with is the number of each piece necessary to make your quilt. -There is NO finished yardage calculation in the app that I could fine ANYWHERE!! INSTEAD, A little disclaimer window is at the top of the last page directing the user to the internet for that. -The app designer needs to add additional features to fully edit & delete anything to a finished quilt. Could not find that in the app... * For example, I want to add or delete a row in a saved quilt, no can do. * I want to delete a finished quilt from the saved library, it can’t be done. So, you end up with a bunch of useless designs in your library that just take up space. -For me, the description was rather misleading. Now I wasted $2.00. I wish I could have my money returned. :( -I would give this app a minus one star, if I could!! - Now I have to figure out how to cancel this dumb subscription.
