Default Eq8???

Just taking a break from work on a t-shirt quilt and checked email and saw one for EQ8. See that I can up date my EQ7 to 8 for about $75 (Christmas present??) but guess the thing that irks me is I purchased their books so I could figure out how to use EQ7 and they say that the books' pictures of screens will not make any sense--only usable for the written part.

I was hoping for a couple of improvements: greater ease of importing fabric swatches from manufacture sites; no hidden toolbars; easier to draw; ability to design more modern quilts easily; and ability to draw the quilting lines on the block/quilt.

From the email ad it looks like the importing of swatches may be possible; that the toolbars are no longer hidden; they claim that the quilt layout can be customized easier and drawing is easier. No real mention was made about previewing Drawn quilting lines.

Comments for all of you--and especially if you have some 'inside info"!
