I got EQ2 before I ever got my first computer, and have up-graded to 3 then 4 and 5 and now have 6.I can not say enough good about the program. Not only can you design your quilt, but it will tell you how much fabric in each color you need to buy. Sure saves a lot worry about if you have enough fabric. You can also scan in your fabrics and see it finished , and if a fabric does not go well you can chage it before you ever make your first cut. For me I love the program!
