It can be done this way also, but for a beginner "custom set" can be quite daunting. I've done a lot of "panel" type quilts and adding boders to a center layout is much simpler & quicker. Just use "layout", change number of blocks to "1" and then determine the size you want (this will always be the "finished" block size, actual block when completed will be 1/2" larger each direction. Add borders in the "borders" tab and you are ready to start adding your blocks on layer 1.
"Peckish" is also correct that EQs website as well as your program "search" feature as well as "video tutorials" are a great way to figure out how to use it to its full capabilities.

You can adjust it by either click-and-drag on the corners or sides of the block, or you can play with the numbers at the top of the page. The first set of numbers dictates where on the quilt the block is placed; the second set of numbers dictates how tall and wide the block is.
Hope this helps.
FYI - EQ has an excellent forum for any of your questions.
