I have been using EQ since EQ4. I have met the owner of EQ and the original code writer, her husband. They are wonderful people. The EQ7 program is huge. Even as an instructor I continue to learn. I design my patterns in EQ. I teach EQ and I love EQ. I did try the Quilt Pro programs. I find them very restrictive. Quilt Pro is a good program for non technical people. EQ has many many many add ons. I can't think of a time that I would not use my EQ program for a quilt. I make my labels in EQ as well. I am a fan because it is a great product and has excellent service. Luann
