if you didn't use the #6 one why would you even consider wasting that kind of money to upgrade? just curious...
i do not believe the newer versions get any easier to figure out and if it's not something you use why bother ...
that money could be spent on fabric/patterns...dvd's you will actually learn from and watch...
just my 2cents worth
of course...if you plan on becoming a designer and are going to learn the program then .....
i had the eq5 (i think it was 5...it's been a few years) i even took a class at the local qs with an (expert) i still never did anything with the program, found i' m much better playing with fabrics, paper and colored pencils than with that dog-gone waste of lots of money program...i do know people who spend hours and hours every day working with their program...it's a personal thing and i think you kind of have to be a computer person.I'm not, i always want to get to the sewing part, ...but if you don't use it dont waste money on an upgrade. that is like the person who has never excersized in their life but go out and buy a total gym because it will help them loose weight...guess what it doesn't help at all, it just takes up space and usually winds up in a yard sale or something a year or two later.
