I love it!!! I like being able to plan out a quilt or make my own design, I can easily enlarge blocks or miniaturize them, take pictures of my own fabric and see what my quilt will look like before I make the first cut! Quite a few patterns I print out as foundations instead of the templates as I prefer paper piecing. You can print out your whole quilt, each block in it, use the block print outs next to your sewing and cutting table.
You can go to Electric Quilt Company's home page and their is a good description of what all it can do.
I have EQ6 and you can overlay applique designs...and so much more!!!
I thought the manual was very well written, easy to follow and if you run into a problem you can call or email them during business hours and get an immediate response. There are also online groups that have a lot of info on it too.
Can you tell I really love this program???
