I must confess....I have EQ6 but I am finishing a quilt I designed on the fly!! I have had several problems because of it, too. Because I haven't used EQ6 too much, I've mainly just played around with it, when it came time to do this quilt, I didn't want to start from square one remembering how to use EQ6, so I did it using the math. My quilt is a medallion quilt with a large star in the middle then several borders around it, I've never gotten that far in EQ6 to know how to do that. Nor have I gotten to the point of cutting instructions or fabric requirements. I guess I am a little intimidated by it. I really need to figure it out because I almost always want to change a pattern to make it "mine"...and that can be exausting with my aging brain!!
