From the pages of Barbara Brackman's Third Edition of the
Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns book, BlockBase+ brings over
4,000 quilt blocks to your computer screen. Barbara's decades of
research are available to you in this organized and user-friendly
software for Windows (R) and Mac (R) computers. Packed with
complete publication information for each block, robust search
features, exporting and printing capabilities - it's the perfect
quilting tool for all skill levels! Customers receive both Mac (R)
and Windows (R) versions of BlockBase+ upon purchasing. VIEW BLOCKS
- Take a "scroll" through 4,264 blocks organized in categories of
One Patch, Non-Square, Fans, Wheels, Stars, and many more! Zoom in
on a block to see it in full detail! Learn the original published
names for each block and from what source each was first published.
Some blocks have multiple names and sources! FIND BLOCKS -
BlockBase+ comes with advanced search features! If you have the
Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman, you can
use the search feature to find a block based on the Brackman ID
listed in the book. Or you can search by keyword, source, or
category (skill level, piecing style, etc.) to scour the database
for blocks based on specific criteria. PRINT BLOCKS - BlockBase+ is
a block-printing powerhouse! Choose to print a picture of the
block, templates, rotary cutting chart, or foundation pattern - in
any size! Each printing style comes with customizable settings so
your printout fits your needs. Enter the desired finished size and
seam allowance, then print! Use the interactive print preview to
move and rotate pattern pieces on the pages and add new pages if
necessary. Includes a 1-inch scale square to ensure your printouts
are true to size. Not ready to print and sew? Save your customized
preview as a PDF file to come back to later! EXPORT BLOCKS - Every
block can be exported as a low - or high-resolution PNG or JPG file
to use in documents, on the web, or just to show your friends the
next block you plan to sew! If you have a fabric cutter, BlockBase+
can export SVG files for use in fabric-cutting machines. Choose the
size and save the file for your cutter! PREVIEW LAYOUTS - Choose a
block to view in seven pre-designed quilt layouts. The selected
block will display in a simple click-through dialog box so you can
preview that block in different settings. You'll be amazed by the
secondary designs created when some of these blocks are repeated in
a layout! Electric Quilt Software NOT required, but Electric Quilt
