Wow it seems everyone but me understands these things. My hubby bought me EQ6 and I have never been able to figure out how to use it! I even checked the local quilt shops to see if there was a class on how to use it but found nothing. I am really bad with computers but would still love to learn to use it.It might be hopeless I have been trying to learn to get the pic off the camera and onto the computer without help for over 3 years! I am very chalanged when it comes to this type of thing. But I think if you are able to understand it it would be a wonderful thing to have I have seen so many beautiful quilts designed with it.
