I have a tech background and find that EQ7 is not as intuitive as I would like, BUT I couldn't live without it now. AND I can do anything I want with it. If I can't figure out how, I email EQ support and they always help me very promptly. So over the years I've been able to do anything with the program. For example, my guild is making a quilt for an expectant mom, they said it should be a star, with pinks, and finished size 8 inches. All I had to do was find the star that I wanted (which didn't happen to be in the EQ library). I drew the block, and I could print out the rotary cutting directions (or templates or paper piecing template) so quickly, and make the block. I use it all the time.
