Thank you for any information
i have used electric quilt since EQ4. but there are a few free software design programs out there. non buggy, safe to use and frequently updated. i have not used this one, but have read comments by those who do.

and w the internet services of so many professional quilters like jinny beyer, you really don't need software anymore. go to jinnys website and click on "design" board. great little program for setting blocks from her extensive block library and then choosing colors. eq is nice in that you can import your fabrics and see exactly what your quilt will look like w your desired prints & colors, but i just use the existent examples. for me it's working out the math & size details and printing accurated templates/patterns.
