I also agree. It takes time and effort to learn any program but it is well worth it. Once you draw your block, you can do anything with the block: Paper Piece or print out rotary cutting instructions. In the quilt, you can turn the blocks, you can flip (reverse) the block or set it on point. You want to enlarge or decrease a block. SIMPLE.
You can buy a used program for about $25.00 then wait for a sale if you want to get EQ7. Eleanor Burns has it on sale and so did JAF during their Thanksgiving sale. I don't think a day goes by that I am not using the program. I have own this program since 1995.
