    I've got EQ7 and the Quilt Design Wizard. If you've never played with design software the Quilt Design Wizard is only around $20 and it was a great decision maker for me to spend the $ on EQ7.

    I've learned a lot from EQ, I'm not a super pro at it, but it's really fun to play with.

    I use EQ, Sue Spargo, Sew Precise and love them all.

    The Baltimore Album BOM I'm running here on the board was designed on Eq.

    I play around with them all, helps to decide what blocks to do, what fabrics and colors. Wouldn't do without, beats drafting on grid paper, as I did in the old days.

    The sew precise programs, there are 4, are all paper piecing programs. so if you enjoy PP, they are great. I use them alot. I'm doing a double wedding ring from it now, I run newspaper print through my printer and works great.

    Sue Spargo is great for wool quilts, which I love doing.

    Charming here on the QB had a copy of Design Wizard for sale. You might want to contact her if you are interested in trying out the software
