Believe me, they will still be there in a week and a half. Maybe not the same offers, but new ones. I miss my EQ 5. It was ruined along with other software and my CP while it had to sit in storage for two years; yes I was just sick about it. I will be buying at least EQ 5 and upgrade as soon as possible to EQ7.

ISO is short for In Search Of Used in the Classified section mostly.
|
ISO = In Search Of
|
ISO mean "in search of." If you post an ISO request in the FOR SALE section of the board, someone who wants to sell theirs might see it and offer you a good price.

I LOVE EQ. I use it all the time to keep track of my inspirations. I haven't come close to using all the capabilities of the program, either, but I think it's well worth every penny I spent on it (EQ6 then upgraded to 7).
My only complaint (and this is user error) is that I cannot get my scanned fabrics to be the correct scale in the program. Eventually I'll get it figured out, but for most of what I'm doing right now, scale is not a huge factor. |
I haven't bought a quilt pattern since I've been using EQ. I really like the picture tracing feature. EQ can be used for beginners to very advanced designers so it's not a program that you will get bored with.

If you do bid on a version of EQ6 , make sure you ask how many activations (lifetime max of 4*) have been used and if that particular license has already been upgraded to EQ7. And make sure it's the standalone version of EQ6, not the upgrade version. Both versions are really the same but the upgrade requires the serial number of the EQ5 version. I can't remember but I don't think EQ5 actually needed to be installed at the time of upgrade. *This was a royal PITA with this version of the software, and EQ took a lot of flak for it. HD crashes, computer upgrades, etc. - 4 installs ain't that much. I went through 3 just through HD crashes and an laptop upgrade. Thankfully, they changed it for EQ7. |
I wanted a design program, but not one that was so advanced it would be over my head and stressful to learn. So I bought the Quilt Wizard for $20 - I found it at amazon.com and I love it. I can make a new design in a short time - there are more than enough fabric/color/block combinations to keep me happy. It will create templates and figure yardage, too. I may upgrade to the EQ someday, but I don't think I need to --- I'm happy with Quilt Wizard.

However, if you consider the amount of enjoyment and entertainment you can get out of this program, it is very comparable to a game box and game :wink: Maybe try ebay and look for EQ5, it will do all that you are mentioning above and is much more reasonable than EQ6 or EQ7. I have seen EQ5 for $50 on ebay before :D:D:D EQ5 and EQ7 do not have the same restrictions. :D:D:D Good point too on watching it is the stand alone version and not the upgrade :D |
I brought EQ5 when it was new...and it just didn't click for me. I tried on a few different occasions to read the books and try the practice stuff.
I paid $180 or something outrageous like that only to have it collect dust. I recently sold it to someone on the board...so maybe if there is someone out there that had the same dumb luck as me and just didn't like it, you might be able to get it for $50 or so. I glad I was able to get a few dollars out of it and pass it on to someone who wanted to use it. |
