You can use the EQ to visualize your quilt by importing pictures of your fabric. The newer versions have the best tutorials.
Besides rotary cutting instructions and PP printable designs, EQ has printed templates. I have take the templates to a local plastics company and had acryllic templates made to size.
All of the above is why I love EQ. If you can't get it yet, make a friend of someone who has it and check it out.
I have also done a lot of EQ for friends who wanted to 'see' their quilts and know the yardage necessary to make the quilts.
