Quiltpro has a free trial, so you can give it a try to see how it is and see a little if quilting software is right for you. I don't have EQ7 but found my EQ4 (yayyyy) and watched EQ7 and Quiltpro videos and I think both programs are useful . Go in, knowing that you will be frustrated at times. But with expectations reigned in, the tools are valuable IMHO. You probably can't make quilt designs that look exactly like the finished products (fabric and all), but you can come pretty close.
I have background with Adobe products, and found the learning curve not nearly as steep as expected. If you have experience with graphical tools of any kind, you may find the quilt programs fairly intuitive.
