CD Review: Helen's Print and Use Quilting Patterns

Review by Sharla Hicks © 2003

What can make Helen's Copy and Use Quilting Patterns book even better? How about having all the patterns only a mouse click away on her Helen's Print and Use Quilting Pattern CD. Use the CD to eliminate trips to the copy store or the need to trace designs.

The CD format is written to use Internet Explorer 5 or greater depending on your computer. This allows you to use the same back buttons, links, and buttons to explore the CD that you use when connected to the Internet.

Opening the patterns on the CD

When all programs are closed and you insert the CD, it automatically starts up.

The CD startup is easy as long as you CLOSE all programs before you insert the CD in CD-ROM drive. The "Easy as Click & Print" directions include this little nugget. But, as many of you may know, some of us often go ahead without reading the instructions, so I thought I might mention it here. If you want to read between the lines, that means I tried starting the CD without reading the instructions or closing all the programs and nothing happened. So, if you do not close all programs before starting, the CD just sits in the CD drive waiting.

Navigation is simple

takes you to the Table of Contents that is setup like the book with underlined links and brief descriptions of each linked section. The Table of Contents includes a link to an alphabetical listing of the quilting patterns for a quick search by name.

Takes you to the thumbnails (small pictures of each pattern.)

Double clicking on a pattern takes you to the pattern screen. Here you will find the quilting pattern name and the size of the pattern.

Each pattern allows you to print up-to 10 different sizes. Clicking one of the Blue Print buttons bring up a quick picture of the file to be printed and then opens the Printer dialogue box. You can print each pattern in the increments listed on the blue buttons. You can also flip the design for repeats and mirroring the design. The increment measurement relates to the original size of the pattern as listed in the book and on the Pattern Screen on the CD. (See previous example)

Instructions

The instructions included with the CD relate only to running the CD and printing the patterns. If you want Helen's hints and tips for fitting the designs to your quilt or suggestions for using the designs you will need to purchase the book, Helen's Copy & Use Quilting Patterns.
