Exactly the sort of program I was looking for. The only downside I could find is that when using the photo converter it's hard to make good looking patterns out of bold, hard edged artwork unless you line it up exactly on the grid or edit the picture in photoshop beforehand (therefore making the entire conversion process a lot longer than it should be). Other than that it has some really cool features and doing freehand patterns is a simple matter. It also has built in fonts so you can easily add text to your pattern! It was well worth the price.And for those of you that may be wondering, yes, it works on windows 7!
