I am still using EQ7. I bought the EQ7 books with lessons for making and designing blocks and quilts. They were extremely helpful.
EQ is usually very good about their built in lessons. Have you watched those? If you are still confused, then maybe you should order this.

Edited to add: EQ frequently has sales that are 20 or 25% off. Might be a good time to order 1 or more of the lesson books.
