There are extensive help files that show you how to do the kind of thing Lynda has done. I haven't ever had the need, but just about every time I play with EQ7, I find some new thing that it can do.
There's also a huge amount of info on the EQ web site and a yahoogroup where you can ask questions if you get stuck.
I will warn you that EQ is just about as addictive as actual quilt-making, especially if you already like playing with computer programs like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop or Publisher. It's big fun!
