I use EQ6 on average, a couple times a month but it also depends on how ofter I'm quilting :-). For instance, I used it for all the xmas presents I'm making, I can duplicate a block that I see in a magazine or on the board or online, and see how it will look with my fabric before I cut. It's my "go to" software to design with the fabrics I have in mind before I start cutting. I spend time drafting because I keep changing my mind about the fabrics until I say "that's it those are the fabrics I'm using and the the quilt looks pretty!". I don't regret buying it at all! It's fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it! And you can print out the quilt, cutting measurements and fabric yardages! It saves me time, energy and fabric! Plus I got a great deal when I bought it on eBay so I don't think it's a waste of money! Sales and saving money always justify my spending! :lol: :lol: :P Hope this helps! :-)
