Welcome from Louisiana. I have EQ7 and love it. I used Rhonda's EQ lessons to get going, then I bought the additional "EQ With Me" Pieced Drawing and Quilt Design, books. I used them as additional lessons. Some people can do it with their online lessons. It takes me a little longer and I needed hard copy, not a video. Can't make notes on those.

I, also, participate every month in the DoYouEQ Challenge. It forces me to really try to learn EQ7.

Welcome to the board.
