Customer Reviews

Just awful
This software is awful. Yes, it does everything the advertisement says, but that's it. No background options, the help menu is very basic, no design tutorials to get you started. Very basic program, I'm very disappointed.

Functional
I use this program to graph simple pictures for my original crochet projects. I designed a nascar blanket for my grandson.
