I don't think Quiltworks splits, but if you can find an older copy of Hoopworks, you can split designs. Quiltworks will digitize all your quilting designs and appliques.

I refuse to do a full size quilt per se. I do QAYG. I find it much easier on the nerves.

I've done raggy and ITH blocks on the machine. With the software I can pretty much get what I want.

I started FMQ as I wanted the same patterns on a ten inch block and didn't feel like digitizing.

If I do patterns on a raggy, I hoop the backing, spray baste the batting and top to the hooped backing, then have the machine do basting stitches around the hoop. That holds it pretty well. I make block a bit bigger so I can center if I'm off.
