Will the beginner version run with MS Vista?

That's what I have! Runs great-no problems!
I had double checked with the company first, as it didn't say Vista on the package!


Go have fun!!

apparently you guys are more computer literate than I am. I have EQ6, have had it for a couple of years, still pull out the pencil, paper and crayons when I design a quilt. :(

Absolutely love Quilt Wizard, limitations notwithstanding. Look forward to being able to upgrade to EQ6 at some point, but can't see it happening in the near future. Anybody want to get rid of theirs cheap??? (Don't I wish!)

I still do that occasionally. But it's a lot easier to change my mind with Quilt Wizard. I just save the file with a new name and move things around. Much easier than re-drawing. I've also used it to "sketch" a cutting diagram for fabric. Just make a design the length and width of your fabric, put in 4 inch blocks. Then fill in the various sections you'll be cutting with a different color. You can see right away if you've got it right or not. Then I print the colored layout, cut out the sections and pin to the cut pieces. By making corresponding notes on my original layout I can be sure the cut pieces are sewn in the right places.

I love it too and enjoy playing with different designs and color combinations. I think it's giving me a better understanding of both and helping me determine my own style. Also, I like being able to get some idea on yardage. Helps me to use up my stash.

I have EQ5 and really like it, don't get to play with it too often, but would love to upgrade to EQ6.

Hi Cheryl, I'm still using the EQ5 and think it was well worth my money. I don't use it to it''t sull capacity but that's not the programs fault. Here's another posting from a member whose sister designed her quilt in 9 minutes.

If you are able to try out the program at a quilt show, that could help to convince you. Also if you go on the www.electricquilt.com site & search around you can read the forums & see exactly what others use the program for. (not sure why the electricquilt site doesn't show up as a link, but just copy & paste it)

I love my EQ6. It was a little pricey but worth every penny.

I had the EQ5 and upgraded to EQ6. I need to use it more. I like the program, but I use it so seldom that it takes me a while to get the hand of it again. One of the LQS offered a class and I was going to take it, but there wasn't enough interest so the class was cancelled. I have the Quilt Wizard, but found it to limiting. That was when I was inbetween the EQ versions.
