My screen looks like this and I’m stuck and don’t know what to do.

This is the dashboard for the mobile experience. Since designing a quilt requires ample space on a computer screen to ensure a pleasant experience, the “Design” mode requires a larger screen that smaller mobile devices cannot accommodate. The program will automatically tailor your experience to meet the requirements of the device you are accessing it on. Go to the CINCHQuilt application on a larger screen device such as a laptop, desktop computer, or Mac.

What do you mean by “Real Time Measurements”?
CINCH Quilts Block Designer real-time measurements demonstration

Other applications give you a “ruler” of sorts that require you to line up the tiny ruler marks with your design to get your measurements. CINCHQuilt goes a step further! Our real-time ruler automatically adjusts and gives you precise measurements between points as you tweak your design. There are no buttons to click or anything, it just shows up so you can nail down your design to precise measurements the first time every time!
