Thank you peel. That was helpful. Am thinking about purchasing this myself, as I am getting tired of 'doodling' my ideas on scrap paper!

Mousie

gee, I hope I remembered to thank you also. You gave great info. I am so excited about this, but have to reign it in. I can't have this right this minute. It could expand my little quilting world so much...I have visions of quilts dancing in my head like sugarplums, lol! :wink:

I have EQ6. I have played with it a bit, but would have liked to have more time to play with it more. I know it has Sooooooooooooo much stuff and there is alot you can do with it. Not to mention lots of additions to your fabric library and blocks!

I recommend it for sure!

Mousie

woohoo! I got to scour my brain for a way to come up with the cabbage. If my pc won't play videos, can i still use it?
didn't come with speakers and even computer whiz brother can't find a hookup for them. I have been getting a message for found new hardware though.

I have EQ5 and it is my most used tool. I love it! You can scan your own fabric into the library section and then you can see your quilt with the fabrics you plan to use. It gives me a chance to audition and play around with color combinations. I also like to use the turn the block feature and I get designs I never would have thought of. I probably have 2 or 3 thousand designs on mine. I will never make them all but I love playing with the color and ideas it presents. You can draw your own blocks and that is the best feature for me as I do things a little differant than most and it lets me be creative and if Ihave an idea I can see if it will work without having to cut and sew fabric. I love mine. I have debated on getting the EQ6 but I might wait now til the next one comes out.
I have called the company a couple of times for help and they are very nice and helpful! Highly recommend EQ!! :D
I also use it to record a block or quilt idea that I want to try out. I just go in and recreate the block that I saw so I willl have it to go by.

Mousie

Rhonda, does your computer have to be able to play videos?

Rhonda

I'm not very knowledgable about computers so I just know what I have and mine does play videos but I think it is a seperate program from what downloads my EQ. Can you download things onto your computer? You could check with anyone who sells computer stuff and tell them what kind of computer you have and they can probably tell you if it will work for you or not. Sorry to not be more help!!

Rhonda

I got an email the other day and hadn't checked it out til now but it looks like a good one. Try www.Mywebquilter.com I took a look and you can choose differant quilt blocks and put in what size and color you want the sashing and borders. Up to 5 borders. looks good to use til you can get an EQ6 I didn't try alot on it but it might help for anyone who has to wait to afford the EQ. It is a free site!!

Mousie

thanks for the site info, Rhonda. It might suffice until I can form a plan, lol. I am going to ask my brother to have a look at the Eq6 site and tell me if he thinks it will work for me. going to go have a gander now, thanks again. :D

Rhonda

I hope you can work it out to get an EQ I wouldn't want to be without mine now that I depend on it so much!! Some of my grandkids enjoy designing on it too! My 6 yr old Rachel and her brohter Joey 10 love it. It gives them something to do when they are here and they are very creative!
