EQ7 is the cream of the crop. It's for advanced designers as well as beginners. I use the image import and trace feature the most. Upgrades are inexpensive compared to the cost of the program. I have been using EQ since it was on floppy disc and used DOS. I remember the company saying it would never ever have it in Windows version. LOL. I have Quilt Pro and Foundation Factory. It's great for paper piecing.
