Maybe I should have upgraded while they had the special price. I've got 7, but have never used it for anything other than doing the lessons in the books and in the tutorials on-line and in the program--- just find it much easier and quicker to go to my trusty graph paper and color pencils if I'm having a design dilemma.... I've been thinking about going through Rhonda's tutorials to see if that would help me start using EQ7 more... I got it because I like to design my own quilts, and enjoy making quilts with very unequally sized blocks that then need to be fit together using fill strips, etc. I usually make the blocks first, then spend time playing on the design wall to decide on placement, then have to spend lots of time measuring etc. to figure size of fill strips and such. I had hoped that I could do all that stuff in EQ7 rather than doing it on the design wall but none of the lessons in the books, or in any of the tutorials put out by EQ show how to do what I want to do--and I haven't taken the time to play with it enough to figure out anything beyond the basic lessons...anyway I decided that I might be throwing good money after bad if I paid to upgrade and still didn't use it.
