I'm thinking of buying EQ7....can you use a pattern that you've bought and see what your fabrics will look like.......I have such a hard time envisioning what a pattern will look like with different fabrics......I guess what I'm wondering is, if you can scan in a pattern or duplicate a pattern you already have and see what the different fabrics and colors would look like.....hope I'm not too confusing...

But look what I just found:

I don't know exactly how much the offer is, but it would be worth checking if someone
A) already had a copy of EQ5
or
B) was looking to pick up a really cheap version of EQ5 and then upgrade to EQ7 with this offer (if the total was less than $132 plus shipping on the EB site).

I've heard good things about the QU classes.
But, really, using the included lessons/videos really would get you started on designing simple layouts, and getting used to using the block/color/placements tools.
I'm not a "master" in EQ (I've got version 6) but I've managed to design some pretty complex quilts. And while I'm not mathematically challenged ;) , it's very helpful for just quickly figuring out potential quilt sizes without paper and pencil.

The upgrade special price for EQ from 5 to 7 is $150! I got my response back and bought an "upgrade" for 6 instead on this board.
I don't know if I will use it enough to warrant the higher price. Version 6 is more user friendly, in my opinion, than 5.
I can use the help with the fabric choices and combination of blocks that the software provides. I also like the EQ Simplified books for lessons.
