Toni's info does not say where she lives. You can find EQ classes in the bigger cities. I have toyed with the idea of buying EQ but fear it would be like that serger I HAD to have and never use. I received Block Base as a gift. It is an EQ product and plug-in. It has hundreds of public-domain blocks. Can resize, group different blocks into a project, print foundations if you want to paper piece it and a lot of other function. I use it a few times a year.
A couple of times a year I will be doing something and think 'I bet EQ could help me here.' am I am tempted to go buy it. Then I look at the serger!
I agree with the poster who said quilt for a few years then decide if you want it.
