I am one of those that don't find it easy to use! I always say 'the next snow storm, I will sit and read this book and figure this whole thing out'....but, I would rather be quilting!:0)I have also the quilt wizard...which I find very easy to use and quick. If I want a block printed, I can go quicker in my wizard to print and back out....can't on my EQ6. Plus the fact if I do have something figured out on they system...I don't go back or use it enough to remember and find myself going back thru all the 'how to' again. Sorry...I like quick-fast and read the directions last...my life is usually too crazy here otherwise:))
