A Little Birdie Told Me... There’s an App for That

A Little Birdie Told Me... There’s an App for That!

Robert Kaufman has come out with a Quilting Calculator for the iPhone!

  
Here is a screen shot of what the app looks like on your phone.
  
My favorite feature is the Binding Calculator.
 
I made a video to show you some of the features! I hope you enjoy the new app!!

Now I know not everyone has an iPhone. Personally I don't even have one! (Thanks mom for letting me borrow yours for the demo.) I have a Droid2 so I was happy to hear that the app will be coming out soon for Android phones!!
 
Once you download the app we'd love to know what you think.
What is your favorite feature?
Is there something missing that you'd like to see?
Any other feedback...

I'll be back on December 3rd with A Little Birdie Told Me!

Thanks for the demonstration video! I am already downloading this app! I love that it is free, also, since this is something I would have been willing to pay for!

I'd like to think I'd be prepared if I was looking for binding or backing fabric. :::snort::: Since I know better than that, I downloaded the app. I hadn't run across it yet. Thank you for the tip!

I so want an iPhone and here is another reason! Maybe when they make it to Verizon. Thanks for the preview Julie.

I'm getting an Iphone4 in February and I am so excited about this! I might actually keep up with my phone!

This makes me want to buy an i-phone. How great!!

Best app ever! Great video showing the features. I just used it the other day to calculate the backing and binding. So easy to use!

I wish it was avail for the droid now! Right now I go to a website that actually has a great calc but it would be even better to have an app on my droid phone since it would make reading the results much easier! Kudos to Kaufman for getting it done!

Nice little app! Lots of functionality and better than just about any other quilting app i've downloaded - EXCEPT this one is FREE!! Thanks R Kaufman!

I have had this app for several weeks and think it is one of the best ones out there! Great job with this RK!! Thanks!

Just waiting for the droid app here. I was so sad when I saw the iphone app and couldn't find one for droid. Glad to here it is in the works.

I downloaded it the day they announced it and I LOVE it! It not only comes in handy while you're at the shoppe but while designing too! So much faster to calculate yardage needed instead of breaking it down on paper :)

How funny-I downloaded this last week and had no idea it was new! lol.

I downloaded this last night on my Ipod Touch! Works great. Now I just need to remember this when I go to a quilt store when I'm buying fabric. Thanks for letting us know about his wonderful app!!

Great video Julie - I am off to download it. This is perfect for converting the backing amounts when you are using extra wide backing.

Oooh, hope the droid version comes out soon :-)

What a great ap. PLEASE will you post to let us know when the Droid version is available?? I KNOW you're going to get that so you can let us all know ok? Please? I don't have the newer phones yet but hubby does have the Droid something or another so he can download when available. He always goes fabric shopping with me anyway because of my bad knees so he can help me with that if I need it. :)

Most excellent! I echo the others' request for an announcement when this app is also available on Android... this will be super handy!

Wondering ~ How close are we to seeing another version of this phone ap? I would LOVE to see this available for the Droid platform.

Wow, these necklaces look fantastic on you! Can you just tell us where you get them? I really want to have the same. Normally, I would buy fashion jewelry from(….) and their jewelry collection is amazing. I guess you may also want to visit the site…Wow, these necklaces look fantastic on you!
