I'm learning as I go. I don't know about how you learn, but I am VERY visual. The videos are helpful and so is tech support. I do not have the time it would take to go through each of the lessons right now and I needed to use it to figure out the Dear Jane software.
Mabye your local library has a copy of the books you're looking for if the videos are not meeting your needs. There are several companion books to EQ6 based on what you are most interested in doing: pieced drawing, applique, block books, 6 simplified, etc.
