What are some of the best quilter's application for the IPad? Thanks

I use QuiltCalc on my iPhone. It is by Robert Kaufman fabrics and helps you determine 1) fabric measurement, 2) backing and batting, 3) piece count, 4) pieces to yardage area, 5) binding, 6) border yardage, 7) square-in-a-square, and 8) set-in and corner triangles. I'm glad you asked the question and I'm anxious to see what else is out there.

Oh, I also have QuiltShops that helps you find quilt shops near you. It's great for traveling!

Is that app kept updated?

A very nice lecture type comes from the Victoria and Albert museum and is on antique English Quilts. Called Quilts1700-2010 but my absolute favorite is called Block Fab and allows you to take a single block of your choice, choose your color and then puts it into any type of quilt with sashing, plain blocks or what ever. Fun to play with.

I can second quiltcalc by Kaufman. I use it all the time for quick easy calculations for fabric.

I have no idea. It has helped me but I don't know the upkeep of it.

Shops are responsible for submissions, revisions.

Anyone use a room design app to help them with furniture placement??

Schmetz needle app

janome Sewing Machine Feet app

Stitch Buddy and Air Stitch for machine embroidery

HOUZZ app for room ideas

I have used the one at Ikea.com and had fun with that when I redid my living room. Didn't use their furnishings but did find the app helpful. But that was just on my computer not my iPad.

I have an app for my iPhone that is Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorials.

Thanks for the info. I really didn't want to spend the money for the calculator I saw a few years ago at the LQS for about $40.00. Even 1/2 price, I wouldn't have bought it.

ROOM FLOOR PLAN APP:


I just downloaded the room FREE furniture arrangement app called Roomle (R O O M L E) for working on floor plans. You set up the room dimensions, add windows, doors, furniture. You can adjust the dimensions of the furniture, esp. Tables and bookcases. Like most Apps, It is intuitive vs an "owners' manual". Not really difficult. I am having fun with it. You can "save" multiple rooms, "duplicate" an existing room plan and then re-arrange the furniture and save that plan for comparison, etc.
