    Default Quilting App

    Does anyone know is there an app that will let you keep inventory of all your sewing supplies, like all threads, needles patterns etc. I downloaded one from Superior but not able to put all threads in or other things i would love to be able to put all my quilting, embroidery and sewing supplies into it
    Thanks

    Wow you are one organized lady! I am lucky to just organize it all into the same area. I would like to have a pattern list though. I have bought a pattern more than once and that would stop overbuying.

    I pretty much know what I have. Although, I have surprised myself with something I forgot I had. Like a whole quilt kit I didn't remember buying this morning I discovered in my fabric closet.

    RedGarnet, I've "double bought" patterns myself. And I can completely understand about finding a kit that you "forgot". That kind of happening is why I'm on the Fabric Moratorium now... although I did spend quite a bit today buying backing fabric.

    I just use a spreadsheet or two on my computer for all that info. Easy to print out and update often.

    My daughter and I tried 'MyStuff2' for the iPhone but we were unhappy with that app. We were updating the database and lost a bunch of pictures we had taken. She then found 'Airtable' and we have been entering our stuff into that and its free. I think it is going to do the trick very nicely and its very versatile. It is web based so you can share database info with others if you choose. You can add pictures, so we have pictures of the front of the pattern and the 'Materials Needed' cuz it always seems I find great fabric for a pattern but can't remember how much of what I need for it, lol. And if/when we get the project done we can add a picture of the finished item. There are about 4-5 of us and this way we know what patterns we all have if we choose to borrow patterns or ask questions.

    This is a terrific idea!! Anyone here who has computer/programming savvy should invent an easy, user friendly App!

    I have tried using spreadsheets for this but find they can be too cumbersome for this purpose to organize.
