Why did I buy the EQ7?
#13
I bought it thinking I could make my own designs/patterns etc... so now I have this program and have NEVER ever made my own pattern yet. It is to confusing I guess...so I just buy patterns and etc.. what a waste.. Have you bought things that turned out to be a waste of money?
Oh, I thought you bought it for my birthday and were just late delivering it!
I love drawing designs--------------I hate coloring them in. I'd love such a program.

I've always used just plain graph paper for my cross stitch patterns. For a pillow I might end up with several pieces of paper, but that's the way that is easiest for me.

I also purchased Quilt Pro. I use EQ far more. It is my go to program. I found QP lacking for me. I have stated I teach Eq and I have used it for many years. The learning curve is no harder than any other software program. It is a personal preference. One of my quilt buddies has EQ6 and still drafts with paper. I say whatever works for you is the best. But at least try to learn a new program you just might like it! Luann

Me too LoriS! I fiddle and fiddle with it, get out the book, read it line by line and still can't get it to do what I want to do with it. I have had success twice with printing out foundation papers for a paper pieced block but it was one that was in the block library so I didn't have to push too many buttons!

I wanted EQ7 in the worst way, but could not justify the price. I watch Craigs List for people cleaning out their stash, and about a year ago I hit on a lady around the corner from me that had her entire room over her garage she was getting rid of- fabric, templates, books, magazines, etc. Looking through all the books in one cabinet, there was the EQ5 UNOPENED! I asked her how much and she said $2.00. I gave her the opportunity to change her mind knowing what she had paid for it. Nope, I could have it. One of the many bargains I walked out with that day! I love it for playing around, but have not actually printed anything out yet. Good for the creative juices though!

I bought EQ6 and then the EQ7 update. Went to a couple of classes with the EQ6 and, well...... I never use it. I should but just don't take the time to re-learn it. That's a couple hundred dollars that I could have bought more fabric with....
Maybe someday I will take the time and actually use the program.
