My only app is to open the cabinet doors in my sewing room and look until I find the fabrics I want to use - and if they aren't there, I get to go shopping!

this was my thought...I like quilting because it gets me away from the computer. If I did this it would be more time on line...No thanks.

i longarm and don't get to piece much (except when the machine is in the shop), I have a droid and honestly, I have a hard time downloading any apps, let alone an app to keep my stash. I think it is better to organize the stash and then you know what you have. I tend to buy most of my quilting fabric on line on sale.

My stash is organized now but the main reason for using the app is so that I can check easily how much of each print I have. I have collections where I have 1/2 yd of this, 2 yds of that, etc and the only way, before this, to check was to get it out and measure it. That was wasting time when I found a pattern and started getting fabric out, only to discover that there wasn't the right amount of yardage. I tried pinning notes to each piece but the notes would fall off when I was getting fabrics in and out so that was a huge waste of time. Knowing at a glance how much of each print I have should save me time alone. I have my stash all lined up now so I'll take a picture soon.

Yup! That works... :D:D:D |
thank you. I never heard of the app. I just downloaded it to my I phone. It would be perfect when looking for fabric to match.

I don't have a cell phone that can handle an app but I do make up lists using Excell to keep me up to date with certain fabric collections............I've purchased doubles cause I didn't know I already had it. As I shop online most times I keep the list handy next to my PC.
