I have downloaded several quilting apps to my IPAD, but haven't found them useful. I use EQ 7 on my windows PC, but also do a lot of layout in Adobe Illustrator because I am very familiar with that vector based program.

EQ7, Quilt Pro, Foundation Factory are the best computer programs for quilting.

I have used Excel and Paint in my design work but only a little bit. I'm a graph paper and color pencil kind of a girl.

I have a Robert Kaufman's Quilt Calculator app on my droid phone and I use that one fairly often. I also have a Quilter's Club of America App that finds quilts shops wherever I am. I also have an app that has some quilt backgrounds. I also use the JoAnn and Hobby Lobby coupon apps......I also us EQ7 on my PC. I do not have any Apple devices. I use a droid phone and a droid tablet. Hope that helps.....

I use QuiltCalc, app on the ipad. It is from Robert Kaufman, a fabric mfg. I've used it to verify the calculations I made for the amount of fabric I need for binding a quilt I'm working on.

Welcome to the Board!

i use Electric Quilt on my PC. I find that working on a smaller device is too difficult for me.

Not a "quilting" app but I use PDF expert to plan/try out how i want to quilt my quilt.
