SheriR, the DJ software is an Electric Quilt product, but it's stand-alone -- you don't have to have the EQ software to run it. The template patterns are "printable" from the software, as well as the full block and PP patterns. I've just started making a few triangles and discovered that those templates aren't part of the software, but after you've got a few blocks under your belt and if you go to the "thatquilt" blog you don't really need them.
