Oh yes, I have EQ4,5,6 and now EQ7...It is amazing what you can do with this program. I'm still learning and finding new things about this program...there just doesn't seem to be no end to it....love love it....now I am looking into QuiltQad for designing my pantographs for my long arm....

I have quiltbuilder, 123quilt, and just ordered quiltpro. I really enjoy mine a lot and use them all the time! I even bought copies of them for my mom! Who needs computer games, I have my quilt desing programs!!!
For those of you asking what they are for, it is a software program that you get to design a quilt on, you can choose your sizes, your blocks (some you can desing your blocks), choose some fabrics and get the sizes to cut, etc...well worth the money (no matter which one you buy) if you like to do your own patterns!
Just for fun, you can go to 123quilt.com and download a free 30 day trial of 123quilt to play with. I don't think you can print with the trial, but it is fun all the same!!!

I have had several versions of EQ and upgraded to the newest and have loved them all. Initially it took some time committment to get the hang of it but now I'm all set.

Quilt software will help you design your own quilts, but I have used it to layout blocks and sashing and the software will tell you how much fabric you will need, for top and backing. It will even print out templates in what ever size block you need. You can change the block size with one click. It will tell you the size of the quilt and you can add or subtract borders to make your quilt the size you need.
It can be very helpful.

So, you can pick block types, colors, etc. and it'll tell you how much fabric to buy? IE, I want to do a double star quilt, twin size. I have no idea how much fabric that would be. This software would tell me?

You have many basic blocks in the library of block designs. Find one similar or design it and save it to the blocks designs. Then tell the software What size block you will be using and how many blocks across and down will be in your quilt. What size sashing, if any, what size borders and it will tell you how much fabric you need to get... You can layout the design on the diagonal or straight set. Is your design...

Wow, that is nifty. Thanks!!

Forgot to mention that I also have Judy Martin's Stars & Sets. Lots of neat precreated star sets in that software. It's not a substitute for EQ but is a nice addition.

I have EQ5, and am so happy to have it. But I confess, I have to relearn things sometimes, because I don't use it frequently enough!

I'm pretty sure someone ask this question and I missed the answer, but what does EQ7 have that EQ6 doesn't have. I have EQ6 and Quilt Wizzard. I didn't think QW had enough design options, for me.
