![]() ![]() I will be using these terms a lot over the following explanations, so let me define them up front. If you have more money than time, I recommend Illustrator. If you have more time than money, I recommend InkScape. What software is right for you? It comes down to what you find more valuable: your money, or your time. Making my quilt layouts in InkScape could be done, but because InkScape is kind of buggy and nowhere near as streamlined as CorelDraw and Illustrator, it would take me a much, much longer time. The real cost of InkScape is the time investment. InkScape is the most full-featured free vector software available and as such is the only realistic alternative that has no monetary price. ![]() Affinity Designer might be a realistic competitor with several more years of development. It's missing the two critical features I need to make my designs, and as such is completely unusable for me. I had high hopes for Affinity Designer, but despite a fairly smooth workflow and user interface, Affinity Designer just isn't up to the standard of Illustrator and CorelDraw. CorelDraw's subscription is the same cost as Illustrator, but Corel does offer the outright purchase alternative for the price of 2 years' subscription. I could switch to CorelDraw and continue to make my quilt designs without too much difficulty. CorelDraw has a few minor inconveniences, but it still has all the critically-necessary features I need for my work. The best alternative is CorelDraw, but it won't save you any money for the first two years. ![]() It's unfortunately only available by subscription, but you do at least get what you pay for: a solid, dependable software that is being actively maintained and developed - it receives regular updates for both bug fixes and new features. The best vector software is Adobe Illustrator.
