I have EQ6... it's marvelous! Worth every penny.

Quilt software makes life so easy, especially if you're not good at visualising stuff.

do you use it just for paper piecing or planning all your quilts?

I have EQ6 also and have been getting it since it first came out. I love it and use if for paper piecing a planning a quilt. I also have block base that works with it. It is so Nice, I can actually scan material and plan my quilt with the material I am using.

I just got EQ6 and I love it. It was worth every penny. Before that I had Quilting Wizard. I liked that one too but EQ6 has so many more options.

I've even started planning halfway through! lol

When I got all my blue and white star blocks I took a photo of each block and imported it into eq6. I could then play with various settings, borders, etc, all at the touch of a button. It was marvelous!
