I, too, have EQ5 and am learning how to use it. Do you know about the book you can buy that is a tutorial? It is called "EQ5 Simplified: An Easy learning Guide by Fran Iverson Gonzalez". It is available at the Electric Quilt Company, but I have also seen it on AMAZON. It is WONDERFUL!!!, easy to follow, step-by-step. I don't know if the EQ6 or EQ7 have similar tutorials, or whether this one will compliment 6 and 7. Does anyone else know?
