Whew! I no longer have to use Windows for anything, which makes me very happy, since I’m really not comfortable in that environment. However, a few years ago, the EQ people began offering a Mac-native version, too. It used to be that this software, called Electric Quilt (or EQ), was only available for Windows machines, which meant installing a virtual Windows machine onto our Macs. However, there is now software for designing quilts, including giving lists of how much fabric to use and rotary cutting instructions.

With the latter, one mistake, one time changing one’s mind, means that you must have a very good eraser or start all over again. Other than the fact that many sewing machines these days are computerized (yay!), there are many applications that make designing quilts so much easier than using pencil and graph paper.

Okay, now that I have that out of the way, what does that have to do with a tech podcast like this one?
