I have trouble drawing with a mouse. I have a pen tablet but haven't really tried using it in EQ stitch yet. All I've done is draw my signature (for quilt labels) and add fonts from my computer for the other text. I have also added one of their included designs to a label. Overall I don't really like it. It has had a lot of glitches for me. Parts of my design disappearing, error messages when there's no error or I haven't even done anything, etc. Recently I had a design on the mat and when I went to set the stitch types, it said I had no design on the mat. It was right there-I was looking at it. But for some reason the program didn't recognize it. I haven't used it much but I tear out my hair every time. But it digitizes fonts better than Sew What Pro did when I used the trial.
