This way I knew exactly how much of each fabric I would need to finish the project and for a few of the pieces that was crucial as I only had small pieces of a few of them. I love the program. Takes all the guesswork out of the finished project. Ann in TN
Thank you for your information, I am seriously thinking of getting the program.
Thanks again,

And what is Quilt Wizard? What does it do?

I upgraded to EQ7 as soon as it was available and I have added a few programs to it - Blockbase, Dear Jane, Baltimore Album and a few volumes of Quilting Designs.
I love being able to see what my quilt will look like in my fabrics - I can move colors, rotate the blocks differently, try different border treatments, fussy cut, recolor individual patches or all patches of a type...

That's it! You have made the sale! Now all I have to do is tell my husband! I am not in the same town as him right now, however tomorrow is another day!
The ability to print rotary cutting charts, templates, placement diagrams, quilt diagrams, yardage charts with swatches... it's as much fun as quilting, itself! :)

I read wonderful things about EQ7 on the board and I bought it. I've had it for about 6 months and I've never really used it. I don't seem to have the time to learn it. I'm sure if I took a class I would get a lot more use out of it.

Check it out. I am very new to quilting so it does just what I need it do for now. I just love it. I have designed three quilts and have had it for about a week. It's really easy to use.

I bought over a year ago and I love it I have designed over 10 quilts with it so far. I love that you can add your own stash to the program so you can see your quilt before you cut everything out, it has helped me a lot and well worth the price. It is very user friendly.

Wow it seems everyone but me understands these things. My hubby bought me EQ6 and I have never been able to figure out how to use it! I even checked the local quilt shops to see if there was a class on how to use it but found nothing. I am really bad with computers but would still love to learn to use it.It might be hopeless I have been trying to learn to get the pic off the camera and onto the computer without help for over 3 years! I am very chalanged when it comes to this type of thing. But I think if you are able to understand it it would be a wonderful thing to have I have seen so many beautiful quilts designed with it.
