I have EQ6 and I thought it was a nightmare to learn. I have extensive computer skills and use MS Publisher and Adobe Photoshop, etc., so I have used different graphic programs. There are many videos in the program to teach you how to use it, but I confess that I had to have someone sit with me and teach me how make a basic quilt. That being said, now that I have figured out the basics, I love using EQ6 and every quilt I have made recently, I draw into the program. I'm working on a Storm at Sea quilt now and I did it in the program and printed out the paper-piecing blocks. They printed perfectly to the correct size. The more I use it, the more I learn about it. It was just getting started that was frustrating me.
If you decide to get the program, don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't let it sit on the shelf for months like I did. It really is fun to use.
