My husband just placed an order for EQ6 for my birthday and was offered a pre-order of EQ7 at $142 if I could wait until June. They said EQ7 would be $189 if ordered when it was available. I can wait! I don't have any version of EQ, so this will be a fun thing for me.

I just ordered the upgrade from EQ 6 to 7 this morning (opps, yesterday morning here on the east coast.) I can hardly wait! I have just begun learning 6 which I got for Christmas, this version sounds more user friendly and has the kaleidoscope feature too. I also like the more user friendly installation and multiple computer feature.

Do you get the "how-to" manual with 7 like you did with 6?

Thanks to BellaBoo, I just placed my order for the upgrade! While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I will be updating my fabric library so that means taking lots of pics :)

Now I have to go check this out!!! I recently upgraded from 5 to 6....(big sigh...should have done more homework before doing that obviously)

What are the major differences between 6 and 7??? The one BIG thing that pushed you over the edge to buy 7???? (And yes, I'm going to look at the website now, but I was wondering what YOUR take on it was...what made it worth the $ for you???)

How recently sandpat, maybe you should give them a call and they may work with you.

Thank you, for the heads up.
I ordered today.
Great new features.

I like the idea of being able to take pics of my actual fabric and play with them in the design, as I have never been able to scan in - my scanner is attached to my very elderly computer that I don't use any more. But the biggy for me is that it's transferrable to any computer for life! Having moved EQ from elderly computer to laptop to new netbook, I had run out of moves.

Nah...I bought it off of ebay and I've used it some, just not a ton as I haven't really had the time lately to go through the lessons. It sounds like the pre-order $ for the upgrade is pretty darn reasonable...

It really is. I have always bought the upgrades since the early 90's I think then I got an upgrade for $39. This is the most reasonable I have seen it. Definitely worth it. I can't wait. I don't use mine as much as I should. So each time I open it I have to basically start from scratch. Hopefully this will be a little less complicated. I still love it.
