Hello, people. I want to learn how to do design, what software do I need to do this?
I know where i can download Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, but i need a vector graphics editor. If i download Corel Draw Graphics Suite X5 and download adobe illustrator cs5 its good choice or not? Nothing difficult in creating a design no. Buy and download software, learn and start to create your own designs.
Thanks for answer to my question. I've already bought and downloaded the adobe photoshop and illustrator. Thanks gays!

Gearing up for fall and winter quilting means collecting a few key flannel fabrics…so we’re expanding our 
PRIMO PLAIDS What makes this reversible yarn-dyed fabrication even better is the introduction of new, coordinating colors and patterns that are designed to mix-and-match for the coziest quilts ever! They also perform beautifully as stand-alone fabrics in PJ’s and robes for the entire family, and in primitive quilts and fiber arts, applique, stuffed toys and more. They combine the look of fine wool, with lower cost, greater comfort, and best of all, no allergies! Watch for the newest additions, coming to www.MarcusFabrics.com on November 1!
