I was also blessed and preordered EQ7 today and don't have a clue how it works. Can anyone out there help this clueless brunette?

It will come with a getting started book. Follow the steps and it will be easy. Also the help index is great. Lots of videos in the help to show you exactly what to do.
|
Once you get it loaded there are lots of little videos to watch to explain things. That's as far as I've gotten. :)

You can always call me!! I only have EQ5 but what I don't know we can figure out together!! I am curious what the differances are between 5 and 7. I have thought about upgrading. When will you get it?

There are actually quite a few differences between EQ5 and EQ7. Not so between EQ6 and EQ7. EQ7 works exactly the same as EQ6, but with quite a few new features. I have yet to use any software with such a good manual, and the help files are even more complete.
I think that learning new software depends on individual skills. Since I'm the kind of person who learns best picking up a manual and working through the steps, that is how I learned to use this software (back in the days of EQ4). There was a learning curve with EQ5, but EQ6 was a breeze. Some people are more visual learners. I have never taken a class at Quilt University but would recommend it if you are that type of learner. I hear from many people that they have truly benefited from those classes. For new users, I would say take the EQ6 sampler class with Fran Gonzalez. Even though this is a EQ6 class, everything you learn there will apply to EQ7. And it is probably going to be a few months before they develop the classes for EQ7, so this is a good place to start. Last, but not least, you may want to join the Info-EQ forum. This is a very, very helpful list of EQ users who are very quick to answer any questions.

ReRe, I did the same thing. I preordered EQ. Never owned a quilt program, somewhat new to quilting, and will not know the first thing about it when it comes. Sure hope the wrapping is pretty.

I preordered EQ7 also. Will need help when it comes as I never owned a quilt program either.

I'm just getting started with EQ6. Love what I've seen, but am just on Chapter 2 of the manual.
