Hey Barbara,
I have Quilt Pro and have had it for many years.
When I was actively designing patterns for publication,
that's what I used. I still use it to this day even though
I'm not designing patterns to sell any longer. I love
this program. I will have to say, though, that on the
newest version, Quilt Pro 6, they made a lot of changes
and made it work more like EQ. I have versions 4 - 6,
and I still stick to version 4 because I like it better. But,
if you have never used it, then you might like 6 better,
because you wouldn't have anything to compare it to.
If you could get 4 or 5, perhaps on ebay, either of those would work well also. I have found that versions 4 - 5
have an easier learning curve than I think 6 has, but like
I said, if you aren't used to any of them, then you might want to start with 6.
The program will do everything from letting you draw
your own block and create your own design, to adding
your fabrics that you plan to use in the quilt. And yes,
if you have a block or a quilt that you want to enlarge,
it will give you any size you want, and will also let you
print out fabric requirements, rotary cutting measurements, and paper piecing - just about anything you want. The company is great. I have found them most helpful and would recommend this program if you are wanting to
invest in one.
Have a good one!
