I haven't gotten my up-grade to seven as yet, but I will! I started with EQ2, THEN I got my first ever computer. Had no idea how to even turn it off correctly. But I sure had fun with the EQ, have gotten every up grade to 6, but still have to get 7, I work out all my quilts on my EQ, love the yardage print outs so you know just how much fabric you need. if I do not have enough of a fabric I can either tweek the design or see if I can find more of that special fabric. No getting half way thrugh and finding out I do not have enough to finish.
