Hi quilting memaw,

Stitchingramie is right in suggesting the tutorial videos that come with the package. They are good for giving an simplified overview of what the program can do. It can be very confusing if this is your first foray into Computer Assisted Design (CAD). There is a learning curve, but once you get proficient in the basic "language" of the program, it is pretty simple. I would also strongly recommend doing the mystery tutorials on the EQ website. They make learning the specific aspects of EQ a lot more enjoyable.

I personally find the computer help files difficult to work with, but then I'm a paper kind of person. I bought a couple of the EQ5 books, which I am still find helpful. The underlying concepts are still the same.

Hang in there. I'm sure you'll like it once you get some time with it under your fingers. And there are no dumb questions. I'm sure someone here can help with anything you post.
