Can you design different blocks into one quilt, like a sampler quilt? Or do the blocks all have to be the same?

The blocks do not have to be all the same. If you have a 5 X 7 quilt which is 35 blocks, then you can have 35 different blocks. Actually, it's nice to combine different blocks and see what you get. The geometry of the shapes formed is endless. I would recommend this especially for the price. I have designed several quilts already and I'm happy with the results. While EQ7 will expand the range of what you can do, with your imagination, this might be all you need.

Good question! These blocks are for my grandson, his mother (my daughter) is a doctor. This question should be forwarded to the company that makes the block set.

Yes you can we build both ways. it makes more sense to me to do it a block at a time, some things I've made following their instructions it was easier to build it flat and pick it up though

If you're wondering if one cutter will do the job with both hands using the cutter and alternating between left and right, I really don't think you can do that and cut with accuracy. The way the blades are set to be flush against a ruler wouldn't work, without distorting the accuracy of the cut. I see two customers mention buying one of each. One left and another for right. Perhaps you might buy one and see what works for you? I too found the first blade dull, but changing is a fascinating, safe experience and I used the old blade to cut batting. I love this cutter! Used it to cut multiple layers for quilts at a time and multiple pants patterns, in different fabrics, also in layers. Hope this helps??

While my mother made such a quilt she did not have a frame and I have not made one so haven't tried mounting one on a frame. However, the way it is constructed there should be no reason you can't do this since you can simply skip the middle roller. And, my next quilt will be to work with the backing up (as opposed to down) for the middle part of the quilt, then reverse it to mount as one piece to quilt the margins on the top side. This should be similar to what you would do with a levi quilt. If you can attach it to the leader you should be able to mount it.

It depends on what you mean by all the same shape. They do not have any irregular pieces, all interlock nicely. White Mountain puzzles also interlock but they do have I think it's 7 different shapes.

yes of course, each sheet is a standard printer paper size so you could divide the design in 1/2 and do 2 sep pieces at the same time along the same margins or just remove the borders when printing so ensure that the whole image gets printed on one sheet of paper

Yes, but the letters will be different colors. There's are 28 blocks and 4 sides of every block has a letter (the other two sides have a number or math symbol and an animal picture).

You can only build one at a time since most of the pieces are used in all of the featured designs but if u buy 6 ,and for this price it's not expensive, you can do all 6 at once. My brother did.

I am a beginning quilter and it seemed to me like a lot. If you have a friend as I, that does quilting or a quilt shop to go to, it's a good deal. They both helped me greatly by steering me to complete it. I even changed the size and used my own material.

You are supposed to be able to use it as is. However, a cloth leader is recommended as a time-saving product to help attach the fabric to the frame. I have purchased cloth leader kit but have not used it yet as I am currently finishing several other quilting projects. I have assembled the frame and plan to use it for my next project.

i don't know, these are mixed in with all his blocks, but you can purchase individual letter blocks directly from the manufacturer at unclegoose.com

That is called a "Custom Layout" and yes, you can do it in EQ. The custom layout allows you to place a block of your determined dimensions into the layout, then place another block of a different size into the layout and place it wherever you want, and so on. In the custom layout, it is up to you to decide where you want the various size blocks to be placed. There are also wonderful irregular grids to choose from in the preset layouts.

there are a few blocks included, but not enough! this is not a good design! I had to completely rebuild the one I bought to be able to use it. I do not recommend this unit.

I don't think so. But there are different sets of blocks in addition to the alphabet blocks.

I am still working on mine....I have not had much time to devote to it. I think it would be a good beginning quilt, a lot of cross stitch on it, which is faster.
