I love my Mac. I don't have quilt designing software but use my desktop publishing program (Ready, Set, Go!) to design quilts. I set up a grid and use it to draw shapes in several sizes which are saved for quilt designs. Those shapes can be colored to let me see the finished block/quilt.

At last another Windows free Mac user. My kids couldn't understand why I let the Windows expire. For some reason I just can't stand anything to do with Microsoft.

How timely. I am a relatively new to quilting and we just purchased a new Mac. The idea was to find software that I could use to design quilts on it. This is a great thread.

My son bought me a Mac several years ago and I was upset because I had always had a PC. But after I got into it, I loved it. My son found out I could not run my EQ on it and bought me a PC last year, I couldn't tell him that I wanted my Mac back. I heard somewhere that EQ was going to make a Mac version. I hope they do because I am going back to a Mac on the next computer. If you haven't tried one, you are missing out. They've come a long way.

I have an IMac desktop and a MacBook laptop which I usually use to surf the web and go on QB. I have a Toshiba to run my EQ 7 and all my embroidery patterns for my Viking otherwise I don't use it at all. The PC is just for quilting and embroidering. Since the Mac is not easily hacked or get viruses I use it strickly for the web and email.... I am a Mac slum person I guess. It is so user friendly and loads and shuts down very quickly because it doesn't have programs running in the back ground like the PC and I don't have to buy any virus programs. My MacBook is an Intel but choose not to run Windows on it. JMHO...

I am apple all the way, two macs, ipad and and iphone. I do wish they made more software for us quilters. I agree with IowaStitcher, we should all complain to Apple!!!
