My first purchase of EQ was EQ3 in 1995. There is a bit of a learning curve but there are now videos included with the program. You just have to know your way around like with the sketchbook when you design a block or quilt. I seldom make a quit without using this program. If you need to resize a pattern, you can quickly make a lap quilt into a king size quilt. I love being able to import fabric from fabric manufacture's website. That is why I upgrade from EQ5 to EQ7. Here is the EQ7 draft of this quilt and the finally quilt top. LOVE IT!
