I love the EQ7. Once you get the hang of it the program is great and a lot of fun. I could spend a lot of time on it but need to get things done and keep up with the QB. If you get it you will like it and the manual is very very good and explains everything.

I create designs, templates, shopping lists and rotary cutting instructions.
LOVE IT!!!

Both of these offer free shipping in the US.
Here it's $77.35:

Or you can make an offer here - see how low you can go - although none of the earlier offers were accepted.
Always worth a try:

I see how I mistakenly inferred from your op that you were not yet done exploring the software and manual, and were, in fact, still searching for a useful feature.

Currently I am using it to plan a quilt by auditioning various blocks in conjunction with other blocks that are already finished. I decided I didn't want to do the other block called for in the pattern, so I'm auditioning several others looking for an outstanding secondary pattern that pleases my eye. It's a great help with this!!
