I have EQ6 and am just now getting so I use it to design quilts--It does have a learning curve and I think you have to have considerable patience to learn it. I am very computer literate, but simply did not use it frequently enough to remember how to do things. Now that I am using it more, obviously, I am liking it more. I especially like being able to scan my fabrics into it and then use them in the quilt design. I just finished 3 different designs for a HS grad quilt using fabrics from the univ he will be attending--will let his mom help me decide which one to make up. I will check out Rhonda's tutorials, too.
