I've used EQ since version and love it. However, 7 is overwhelming me. 5 was much more user friendly, but I'll learn. I'm looking for a quilt show near me where I can take a class in EQ7 to learn more about all the things it can do. I know from experience that you have to just get your feet wet and design and learn each time you use it. Congrads on getting the version. Add the accessories as you can. Learn to scan in your own fabrics and design with your own pictures. Have fun.
