I am sure you are going to love it. I can get my cutting instructions under block (not quilt, that gives you the yardage you will need) and then go to print. Have fun and let us know how you like it.

I did purchase the "Simplified" book as well. I'm excited to use it all!

I have the Simplified book too and it is very user friendly!! Do all the lessons as they will help alot! I have done several of them and still have a few more to complete. I have had the software for about 2 years now, but havent' really had the chance until recently to really sit down and play around with it. I still have a ton of questions about it, but between the book and this fabulous knowledgable group I have no worries finding answers!

I am going surfing for my Xmas present from DH :D

Well the only thing I know about it is, I told someone I was going to buy E6 from ebay and she advised me to make sure it had a dongle so that it was transferable to other machines. Sometimes if they are second hand they have used all their transfers up so you buy it and then can´t use it.

Does that make sense ??

You can print out a picture of the individual blocks and/or the whole quilt for reference

I was curious about the same thing! In fact I was thinking about it the other day and was going to throw that question out there myself.

Yes you can print templates, I saw someone do it at our quilting group, however I would need to ask her how she did it again as I can´t remember.

Where do you go to find and print off the rotary cutting instructions? Are there ways to see templates too?

Rosie,
You can purchase EQ6 at most quilt shops but don't pay more than $149.00 for it. If you are patient you can sometimes get it for less on ebay.

Whoever mentioned the dongle... I don't have a EQ6 dongle either. I got one w/my PE Design embroidery software but hadn't heard of one for EQ6.
