If I may make a suggestion...take your manual to Staples and have them cut off the binding and put a spiral binding on it. I did that with mine and not only is it nicer to read in bed...but when I sit it next to my computer, it folds open so nicely.
Having said that...I bought EQ6 and designed two quilts. It was excruciating! LOL. I bought EQ7 when it first came out and STILL haven't had the nerve to install it! LOLOL!
:D
Enjoy it! Show us some of your designs. :)

I had EQ5. Had. In a moment of frustration, I actually threw it (disc, box, books and all) out a second floor window. It didn't even break -- should have tried the third floor! I have written code w/ Linux, and I couldn't get EQ5 to work. I have a friend who recently moved up to 7 and insists its easy. She also has a PhD, so that might have a little something to do with it. The next time a LQS offers a class on it, I might take it. I can see what the program is capable of and how it could be a useful tool, but I first have to be comfortable using it. I spent over 100 hours poring over the manual and help files in 5 and the furthest I got was changing the grid pattern. It wouldn't do anything else -- it kept bringing me back to an empty sketchbook. Turns out I had a defective copy. But, I was so "traumatized" by my prior experience, I am having a hard time working up to trying it again.
