 Great for the money, but some may want more featuresJan 14, 2009
By E. Barron

Quilt Design Wizard is a very simple to use quilt design program that I am thoroughly enjoying. Let me share with you the features:
-200 quilt blocks to choose from
-3000 fabrics to choose from
-lay out blocks in standard rows or on point
-you can use a standard layout and number of blocks or customize
-sashing and/or borders can be added.
-experiment with color and block changes with a few clicks of the mouse
-print out yardage estimates, templates or rotary instructions, and lots of other goodies
-visit the Quilt Design Wizard for free montly download to get new block and fabrics
Limitations:
-200 blocks may sound like a lot, but if you want a block and it's not there, you're out of luck; also, you can't create your own block
-fabric library is big, but does not permit you to scan in other fabrics, which can be helpful for some newer quilting techniques
Overall, this is a great beginning quilt program. I love being able to try out my designs and color schemes BEFORE I commit them to fabric. However a professional designer or someone with advanced computer skills and/or deeper pockets might want to go ahead and invest in Electric Quilt which is much more complex, expensive and versatile software made by the same company.
That being said, this software is perfect for me, since I like to keep things simple when it comes to computers. I can design a quilt and easily play around with the color scheme, arrangement of blocks and dimensions. This software is very simple to use and has already been lots of fun and help to me. I'm delighted with this software and will recommend it to my friends.

Excellent and hardy program for beginner quiltersFeb 20, 2009
By Darcy Pryciak
"Speculative Dryad"
Excellent and simple and hardy program for beginning quilters (and ways to play with quilt designs for those quilters in a creative slump). With dozens of popular blocks and fabrics already in the system, with dozens more to download FREE from the website (including more fabric choices to play with, and one more every month), the varieties are endless to create. There are simple instructions for different ways to piece your project together and a good manual when you are stumped. This program allows you to design from lap quilts to king size, with personal alterations allowed at all levels. And it is so easy to use!

Love to play with this quilt wizardJun 17, 2010

"Liz"
I like the Quilt Wizard. It is simple to use and has several nice features. You can take measurements as you go along to make sure you are staying within your size range, which I need. It loaded onto my computer easily and is pretty much click and play. Though it does not have alot of add-on features like photos of new fabric, etc., it does let you put your ideas onto a grid quickly. I find myself running to computer to put colors or shapes into the wizard to save the thought. I probably would have liked the full EQ 7, but for the price, this does exactly what it advertises.

Quilt Design WizardMar 15, 2010
By Kathryn A. Sauerer
"River Bound"
Absolutely LOVE this softeware. Very easy to use and actually very fun! Would recommend to any quilter. This is a more basic version of the very comprehensive "Electric Quilt" software made by the same company. However, it does everything I need for a fraction of the cost. I love switching up the colors, especially when you can't decide what color border you want to add, you just click a color until you find the one you like! It's great to see a "visual" of what your quilt is going to look like instead of just imagining what it will look like. Wonderful product!
