"The program is great. It took me awhile to fully understand it. I met Heidi and asked her questions. She answered my questions and after that I took off running and have designed several different patterns using the program. Heidi's customer service is great. I definitely recommend this program and Heidi."

"I have been very pleased with this product and am enjoying it very much. I am also impressed with its creator, Heidi Sather, who has been extremely prompt, patient, and helpful when I have e-mailed her with questions and concerns. She really knows her product and I believe wants everyone who purchases it to be able to enjoy it and use it comfortably. So far I have designed 2 necklaces, one of which I have completed. I was able to transition between dotted and spiral segments quite easily with sharp definition between each area. Being a bit of a skeptic usually about things I can't "see", I was very pleased to see that it followed my design perfectly. If there are any flaws, they are mine, not the pattern maker. It is great fun to see my own creations developing before my eyes as I plan them!"

"I cannot give enough praise to Heidi for the help and support she gave me to talk me through the set up - I had problems at my end with my laptop setup and Heidi sent through extra help to sort me out.
The programme itself is so easy to use, the back up material sent with the programme is well written and explains everything in great detail. I have had great fun just experimenting with designs.
If I could give 10 stars I would!"
