I have had EQ since the floppy disc version. EQ7 has more features then I'll ever use but the features I do use are great. Most fabric lines online have EQ files to put the line in the EQ library. EQ website has thousands of fabric files to upload. I have found fabrics I bought years ago in their library. Don't scan your fabric, that's too much work. Take a picture of it and then import it into the EQ library. The quilt shop fabric pics, all the work is done for you to put in EQ library. I use the import and trace feature and converting patterns to paper piecing the most.
