Wow! Thanks Ladies for all the great information. It gives me a lot to think about. Most of you seem to EQ so the majority rules, I think I will check it out. Sounds like it would be worth the investment. Thank you very much. Dolores

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. I've been able to design my own blocks, play with them and make the quilts with no hassle or guess work. Have even been able to get by with only one mag subscription and take it for the inspiration only. Have to mention again, the supplimental tutorial books are a good way to get familiar with the features.

I have EQ7 and I am learning to use it. It isn't complicated but I need to pay more attention to the book. It is nice to see your quilt made up and scanning material is easy. I do like it a lot. Just need to play with it more and learn more.

Dolores: As someone already posted, Quilt Design Wizard is a great place to start. It is published by the Electric Quilt (EQ) people and teaches you the basics. The program calculates the amount of fabric you will need for your creation accurately. Plus you get to actually see if you like what you thought up. I consider it a good stepping stone for the big program EQ6 or EQ7. A friend has let me use her "7" while I'm saving to get mine. Just depends if you like to use computers or not. EQ7 takes a little while to learn but there is online help...
