I don't know about EQ7. I had EQ4 and then went to EQ6. The EQ4 & then EQ6 Simplified was easier for me to use to learn.
I also found someone in my quilt guild who had used EQ a lot and he gave a few of us free tutoring at a local Barnes & Noble while enjoying our coffees.
I also loaded the EQ6 on my notebook so that when I travel I can 'play' at quilting design.
