“I’m so proud of my beautiful designs in Softwares. I love the way this
digital collection allow sewers and quilters to customize and completely
plan their projects – and better yet, to see the results right before
their eyes.”

"I bought a copy at Quilt market to try it out and it is fabulous! You
get a skinny version of EQ and 31 projects designed by Amy Butler for $29.95.
What a bargain!"
- Wish Upon a Quilt, blog.wishuponaquilt.com
"The software includes 22 projects from Amy Butler. Add in the nine bonus
projects, a sewing glossary with tips and techniques, a resource guide, and a
gallery of project photos, and this is an incredible product for anyone who is
into sewing and quilting and who loves to use a computer in all areas of life."

Retailer, May 2009
“I've only just started poking around the program itself, but it already
looks like it is well worth the $29 it costs to purchase it. There is amazing
photography and inspiration throughout and, in addition to the user-submitted
projects in the gallery, there are full patterns for tons of projects from
quilts to bags to items for the home. I can definitely see myself making several
projects from this CD. Thanks again, EQ!”

"The design of the CD is easy to navigate and is extremely user friendly - it
allows you to start 'playing' immediately without spending time reading a
manual. However, if you're interested in some of the more complex aspects of the
software such as customizing quilt patterns, all the instructions are available
right on the CD. That's right, you can take existing project patterns and make
them 'your own' by erasing, flipping, rotating blocks, adding boarders, altering
layouts, and changing fabrics! No matter what you chose, either the project as
it's written or complete customization, all sewing instructions are provided as
well as fabric requirements (even if you alter the pattern!).
The Bottom Line: I can sum up this software in one word, Wow!
Between the projects included on the CD and the customization features, I have a
strong desire to sew up a quilt (and the floor cushions and a bag or two), stat!
If you're looking for something new, like to quilt, or in need of some new home
decor projects, you'll definitely want to give Amy Butler's Electric Quilt
Softwares a try!"

"Softwares is a great value, even if you just make the projects as
the come on the CD. For less than $30, you get more than 20 beautiful Amy Butler
patterns. However, it’s really the added features that intrigue me the most–the
ability to design and plan a project with a light-weight version of Electric
Quilt 6, using inspiring Amy Butler fabrics. In order to get the most out of
Softwares, you would be well-served to spend some time getting used to
the way the program works, so you get really start working with your own
interpretations of Amy’s designs.
There are also a couple of hidden gems in Amy’s sewing glossary and in
the “inspiration” section of CD as well. The glossary has clear,
easy-to-understand explanations of all the sewing techniques you’ll use for the
projects on the CD. And I got lost (in a good way) clicking through the
inspiration images–they made me want to break out the sewing machine and get
started on a project right away."
