If you’re an iPad user, try this free app called You Doodle.
Simply snap a photo of your quilt or quilt block and load it into You Doodle. Then use the sketching tool to try out different quilting designs.
In the photo I just used my finger. I would have had more control by using a capacitive stylus designed for touch screens. Do you know of similar apps for other tablet computers?
Do you think you would use this app to audition quilting motifs?
there’s another app for androids called Jot Free – I just started using it a little bit and will be downloading these other apps and trying them too. It is a wonderful app to be able to use to give clients an idea of how you’re going to quilt their quilts – it’s good for me too – and being able to email the photos is great! thanks for the other app names!
Hi I use a Samsung android tablet and use the software Snote which came with my tablet. I take a photo and sketch ideas and then show the client. I have even used this method to show a client who was not able to visit my studio by sending the sketch idea to her by email for approval before I started.
Jeannette: Thanks for letting us know about a great Android app for the same purpose. I’m glad it works well for collaborating with your clients.
I use Skitch. It has lots of good features.
SharO: I use Skitch too. I’ll need to check out using it to draw on photos.
Thanks for the tip.
