I have EQ7 and absolutely love it!!!! There is a learning curve, but if you really run into a problem the staff at EQ is wonderful in supporting you.
You will spend a great deal of time playing with it once you figure it out though. The lessons are really invaluable to do.
I love importing my fabric to see how my stuff looks, instead of the library that's there though. I also like that I can take a pic of something and bring into the quilt. This actually has saved me a lot of wasted of fabric.
OMG there is soooo much you can do with this! If you love applique, then you can import a pic and trace around and get a pattern from it. Oh man, I could go on and on!
