thanks one and all just what I needed think I will watch ebay for the EQ6 and maybe go ahead and get QW now. Will let you know.

Starting with QW is a good way to go. It gives you a feel for computer designing without the $ outlay, and if you like using it, it makes EQ6 seem that much more "necessary" and so much fun if you do get it.

I have EQ5 as well, and I'd like to be able to see files created with EQ6 on http://www.ajpadilla.com I just love Angie's patterns........sighs I still get most all her .pdf files but sometimes she posts different ones for users of EQ6, which sometimes isn't available to others that can only read pdfs.

Electric Quilt 5 is what I have, but I have to admit I haven't had the chance to really play with it much. I already had two quilts I designed to do and also some oter one I have to as gifts.

Melodylamour - thanks for the website reference. I don't get to "find" a lot of these sites from down here unless pointed in the right direction.

Deecee, your welcome. You can also do a google search or ask.com and type in free BOMs and quilting and you will get so many, many sites you'll be lost in the looking for days :-)
