I am still having fun learning.Accuquilt had a challenge or something that made me think that Accuquilt studio & EQ would work together. LOL I am not there yet. Think if I can learn it it will be worth it.
I have both an Accuquilt Studio and EQ7 and I use both for very different purposes. The only way I can think of making an accuquilt cut quilt design on EQ would be to restrict the piece shapes and sizes to those available as dies. I think this would add a huge layer of complexity to the design process especially as you would have to 'place' pre-sized pieces in a block until you had a design you liked and that means treating them as applique while you are playing with them. Once you find a design then it can be finalized in Easy Draw but that seems awfully tiresome to me. At that point I cut construction paper pieces and use them like jigsaw pieces and then draw the final product.
I only use my Accuquilt to cut repetitive pieces that I use for scrap stash like 5" squares, strips and certain size hexes that are really time consuming to cut by hand.
