EQ will tell you the yardage needed and it's very generous. It will convert all straight line blocks to paper piecing and number the order of the piecing for that. It will give you rotary cutting sizes, appliqué,and template sizes. It has quiting designs and pieced borders. There are no instructions how to sew the block together. There may be that in the built in videos, I haven't gotten that far into it. There is so much in the program!
