Eq5
I hve used EQ 5 since it first came out. I began with the first EQ and upgraded each time until EQ5. The program initially was a bit pricey but the upgrades were always reasonably priced. I didn't upgrade to 6 because I was still learinging 5. The upgrade to EQ 7 was way beyond my budget and I am satisfied and then some with EQ5. I've had it for years and use it quite a bit for designing, testing out color, getting templates. I do not use it to calculate yardage because it is way off. I use the old stand-by, "Taking the Math Out of Patvhwork Quilting". It's much more accurate. I still don't draw with the curves very well with EQ5 but I haven't tried much either.
I do love the program. B e patient and just go slow. EQ will always have a special place in my heart. It was because I wanted the first EQ that I was willing to come within 10 feet of a computer. Without EQ I'd still be computer illiterate!
