But it does have it's limitations! I had an opportunity to take a class from Mary Ellen Kranz a couple of years ago and I learned a lot - and, I use it a lot! I have recently ordered (but not yet received) Quilt-Pro, Version 5 - I figure with both programs I can design to my heart's content!! The main reason I was attracted to this particuar software was the ability to print handouts (for my classses) for all my blocks - spliting the segments away, etc. I cannot do that with EQ6 - what do you use for your handouts?

It's so fun to use and I can the only thing to say about that is: Go for it, just buy it and enjoy!!! I have EQ6 and I just LOVE it, I try to play around and learn something new as often as possible.

I didn't open it's box until recently, and I still haven't loaded it into my computer. I love the tips you give on using it. Maybe it will encourage me to give it a try. How's your family? Mine is getting the rain today, but all is well. I bought EQ many years ago, upgraded to EQ5, and got EQ6 as soon as it came out 2 years ago.

I like the principal behind using EQ to figure out sizes and whatnot.....but what happens when you are a less than perfect sewer.......nothing beats actual measurements to make sure those borders will be flat!!!!
