I have used EQ since its inception. I have upgraded to EQ7 and find it easy to use. The program has video tutorials and also the books that comes with all of the versions are concise and easy to read.
It is a wonderful tool to design your own quilts and blocks.
I also have Kaleidoscope Kreator . Takes a photo or design and creates wonderful patterns. So much fun. It is $39.95 and can be ordered from their website. Google name for accurate website.
Happy quilting
