I love it for helping me with t-shirt quilt layouts, getting blocks from their library to use for guild BOM, getting cutting measurements on quilts, being able to play around with colors and with block layouts. I have designed a few blocks and put together many quilt designs. But if you aren't interested in designing a quilt, it might not be worth your $$. I do like that I can plug in some quilting motifs to see how those look too--just wish that I was better at drawing my own quilting designs on the blocks/quilts I create in it. Their lessons books are absolutely worth the $$--especially when they are 20% off (several times a year). But they do not give refunds--but great tech support!
