it's fine.
but i think you'll be happy enough if you stick with 7.
I agree. I was *very* comfortable and familiar with 7, upgraded to 8, still use them both but I think I prefer 8. It's just slightly easier to use, but not enough so that I'd recommend you upgrade. If you have 7 you're not missing anything.

I use it to design quilts, figure out fabric requirements, test out different color options. I like to see if I can reverse-engineer blocks and quilts I see; I believe deconstructing blocks makes me a better piecer. I also do it for entertainment. I'll sit with my husband in the evenings watching tv and designing quilts.
