I just had to have EQ7 when I was a new quilter - I wish I would have bought the $30 program first to get my feet wet. At this point, I just don't seem to have the time to really learn how to use it, as I prefer to spend the free time I have actually sewing something. I do not find it to be intuitive - although I am sure that I could learn how to use it if I would put in the time. I always say - it's easy when you know how
