camilla, I got tired of drawng something out and figuring the sizes and bought EQ5. It made a world of difference for me and designing in it is so easy! I figured it out before I read the book and I'm NOT computer savy either.
It gives you many, many block patterns and fabrics to choose from when designing and deciding your colors and you can also scan your own in.
But with the EQ5 it doesn't tell you how to assemble it. I think EQ6 does?
