I love EQ7. Well, worth it in my opinion...but then I just like to fool with computer programs. For those that don't like to read manuals it might not be worth the money for them...or maybe it would but they'd be better off taking a class somewhere on how to use it. I will say they have some very fine how-to videos that are included in with your purchase.
I use it to drop in the blocks (over 4000) that are provided with the program to design my quilts. I also go online to find free blocks that are not in my program and draw them to add to my program.
I also create applique motifs and stencils. Although I've not quite figured out how to create those continuous line stencils yet...but will over time I'm sure.
Like I said...I love it and well worth the money.
