It depends on what you want to do as far as creating your own embroidery with EQ7.
Barb and Sewnoma, I feel your frustration and pain. I wish I had left my EQ7 alone and not purchased EQ Stitch. I want it to do more than it will-like free-hand drawings for digitizing, and transferring photos and my own clipart I have created into embroidery. Purchasing EQStitch and downloading it into MY EQ7 program, now will only work with MY EQ7 program-- I can't sell it for use on someone elses EQ7. I was not aware of any of this before purchasing. I would go through as many tutorials you can find before making your decision if it is the right program for your needs.
If I could sell EQ7 along with the EQ Stitch and the license be transferable, I would. And then purchase another EQ7 because I do love that program.
