how is it to design and layout quilt patterns?

Very easy to use. Fun to try the different loaded designs and layouts, then try your own. I would definitely recommend.

it comes with templates to make little animal shapes, and some are just designs. a clear plastic holder, and patterns to put under it as a guide. it is a great activity for kids, because they can do the whole thing themselves, not ironing. just spritz with water and let it dry! you will need more beads eventually.

I agree with Gaby, burgandy/maroon. I am using chocolate and while it sounds weird it works! Pink or cream would be nice. I would take the quilt with you to the store. I found a place that sells the shams to match. Pauls home fashions.

You can do free motion quilting. I've done large projects on it with great results! The machine is strong enough for quilting, but could be a bit tight of space for large projects like bedspreads.

You can download the template on the Avery website. I didn't like it, and ended up creating my own in Illustrator.

You can design in Illustrator, etc. and save as a .svg file. Then import the .svg to the included software for cutting. Super easy.

A square pattern of 11 3/4" by 11 3/4". Don't know the thread size. Hope this helps.

Yes it will. You can design blocks on the screen in any size...it automatically prints, templates with allowance, foundation pattern if applicable, or rotary cutting instructions. You can also take any of the thousands of blocks and snap them into any size quilt layout and the math is done automatically. Go on to electric quilt website and look at some videos or on Youtube for some instruction classes to look further.

Hi there. While I can't compare them, I have had my Curvey for most two years now and love it! I have sewn many quilts with mine!

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi! You can put a quilt of any size on this frame. After you make your quilt "sandwich" (top, batting, and back), baste it or pin it together, then simply drape it over the quilt frame and put on the clamp pieces. I usually start my stitching near the center of the quilt. Quilt the area inside the frame, then pop off the pieces that hold the quilt in place and shift it to a new area. Turn the quilt around as necessary to keep it from piling up in your lap. I love this frame. It comes apart in minutes and you can store it in the box. I went to Lowe's and had them cut me a piece of Masonite (lightweight board used in construction) 3' x 5' and I lay that on top of the quilt frame when it's empty so I can sort quilt block pieces. Then I store that board under my mattress until I need it again. I have a wooden quilt frame, but I don't think I'll ever use it again because this plastic one is so easy and quick (and takes up less floor space) to use. Happy Quilting!!!

Place the design CD in your computer's disk drive. Open the software for the SINGER Futura sewing & embroidery machine. Go to File in the main menu, then scroll down to the Design Browser. Select the disk drive and you will be able to view your designs by category. Select the category of designs you want to look at, and the design images will show. Click on the design you want to sew.

Hi Robin, The quilt is stitched, and the stitching is in a random design. The stitching doesn't follow the same pattern of the bedding. Thanks!

If you have this program check on page 81 of the manual. It discusses outputting to a different format. That should help you and also if you want to convert embroidery designs to other formats check on page 223. The other option would be to look what Amazon has in embroidery design book by Carol _______. She gives very detailed instructions. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful but because of copyright laws, I'm afraid to copy down any/all instructions.

I followed the pictures on the box. You'd use the ruler like any other ruler except you run the blade back and forth. I;ve been cutting through four layers easily. The box also contains easy directions for changing blades.I had originally seen the ruler used by Eleanor Burns in a Fons and Porter quilting program last Fall. Go to FonsandProter.com and click on episodes with Eleanor Burns and Mary Fons. You also could go to the Fiskers web site and I.m sure it will have directions.
