+PJ Bahr Thanks for your note. As you commented -- quilters since the beginning of quilting have successfully used pencil and paper to do the calculations performed by this app -- BUT what makes QuiltSandwich so valuable is that a quilter can confidently complete complex yardage calculations and quickly move on to the real fun of cutting and sewing fabric to create a quilt of their own design (or cut the fabric in a kit or pattern with confidence.) How much faster? With a typical quilt design in hand -- quilters report being able to calculate the yardage for all quilt pieces in less than an hour... and they've got a complete set of cutting diagrams to reference at the cutting table (either on their iPhone, iPad, or printed PDF.) How does it make creating easier for quilters? The app just needs finished dimensions and number of pieces to calculate yardage AND it shows on a cutting diagram just exactly how the pieces can be cut from a piece of fabric. The calculator makes it much easier for a quilter to answer the question 'How much fabric do I need? The cutting diagram shows exactly how the app got all those pieces of out a fabric so there is no fabric waste due to cutting 'errors'. QuiltSandwich is for quilters who just don't want to tackle quilt math, but are ready to take the sewing skills they've learned completing kits and patterns to create quilts of their own design
Disappointed (very!!) to find this app is $7.99. Yes, it may be a valuable tool, but same info is available on You Tube or by Googling it......
