I've used EQ7 since released. Love It! I'm finding EQ8 not user friendly, the new features aren't really that great. I would have rather had the cutting charts the QuiltPro offers. QuiltPro tells you how many strips to cut and how many pieces you can get from them. EQ8 new cutting feature is how many fat quarters you'll need but not how to cut them, it will also tell you name of fabric on the print out....useless and a waste of ink in my opinion. Like most quilters I can tell you exactly what line, the designer, the manufacturer and the year it was released.

EQ8 comes with a manual you can print or you can buy one at the end of November. Maybe I'm just getting old and set in my ways. I feel they should have left the overall design alone and added the new features, the new layout is making it very hard for me to find anything. Since you find the EQ7 hard to work with you might like the new layout.
