Need advice
I have been thinking about getting a EQ-7 to help me design quilts. However it is pricey and wonder if it would really be worth it. I am new to quilting and have only done 4. I am wanting to do a quilt panel quilt with panel in the center but cannot seem to figure how to lay out. I have the panel which I put a 2 1/2 inch boarder around it so far measures 26 x 44. I would like the quilt to measure 54" by 80". My problem is I cannot figure out how large to make each block and have this center in the quilt. Not good with graphs and drawing patterns. I do have a design wizard program on my computer but cannot add a picture of the panel to work this out. What do you all think? I have taught computer classes and thought I might be able to pick up working with the EQ-7 quickly but after readying several reviews not sure what to do. I just want to do quilting and have fun at it instead of feeling like a chore to complete.
Thanks for advice
