Geri B

I have had 5 since it was the "latest", but I must confess if I use it once a year, that's often. So since I'm playing with my version of pies & tarts I was thinking of doing it on computer...not happening.....after over an hour of cruising the program I cannot find a way to draw circles. Help, was no help..so back to graph paper....I guess I am a Luddite!

Pull yourself together Geri

My quilt and journal are in the EQ Jane Stickle software so I was gifted the whole works by them.
I found if I didn't work with it on a weekly basis I had to relearn the curve every time.
I'd rather be making real quilts.

I gifted it all to a friend.

My flannel working wall is twenty times the tool of EQ, to me.
Everything is not for everyone

oh, I have that software! Bought it to use it when I attempted a dear Jane...hmmm, wonder where that box is hiding!

you are right......I'm just too set in my old ways for some of this new stuff! I will do pies & tarts my way without help from Harold! Remember him?

I don't know what this is Geri B, but I am one too, I think. I have had EQ4, 5, and the current, Plus I was sillly to buy the BlockBase, and haven't even used it.
For designing I'm sure they're great, but my brain doesn't work in the 'design' department. . . not enough creativity I guess.
Don't feel bad, you at least attempt once a year, I don't think I do it that often. Too many FREE patterns that have everything all worked out already, ,,,,,,why use what brain cells I have left for the hard stuff???? LOL

I just looked at my EQ5. I'm about the same as you as to actual use of the software so not an expert by any means. It does look possible to do circles in EQ5 but it also looks very painful. If you have your block layout open, click on help and type 'circle' in the search bar. I came up with a page that sort of walks you through the process but, as I say, it does seem quite tedious and complex. Give that a try or take the easy road of graph paper!

I was curious about the term "Luddite" so I looked it up. You may have the software and not useit but you're not like the Luddites to where you burned it. I bought some software of a different kind (nothing about sewing) and was so overwhelmed by it, I quietly sneaked away then stowed it somewhere. Thank goodness it didn't cost much. I still haven't come across the software. That was many years ago.
