I hear ya on that experience!!! I find EQ8 is easier to get into but for me, I’d have to use it everyday, just to retain enough to make it useful to me. I got as far as drafting two quilts with it. One a total custom layout, the other I reverse engineered a quilt I’d seen online and rebuilt it in EQ8. Scanned my fabrics in and scaled them so I could see the quilt with my fabrics. I have no idea how I did all that now, as I haven’t used it since. So I’m back to drafting out my quilt projects, or resorting to a pattern that I always have to amend for sizing. It really annoys me that I have it and all the supplemental books, but can’t find the time or manage to prioritize it to make it useful for me.
