EQ Stitch is more for creating custom embroidery files or using the files provided in the program (different ones from the ones in EQ7). I bought it so I could make custom quilt labels but I can't do anything like edit other company's files in it. It's pretty limited but I managed to get it when it was 40% off so for my purposes, it's fine. I'm glad you didn't buy it and then realize it wasn't the right one for you.
