eq 6

I know that you can do it with EQ7, not sure about EQ6. For EQ7 go to "HELP" then "How Do I" and select the option for "how to: Quilts" and look for table runner with pointed ends. The directions are right there.

Except for the basics I'm not all that handy with my EQ6 but just checked and there are several settings for table runners, though the ones with on-point squares have squared ends. I guess you could just omit the outer setting triangles to make a pointy end... but it would still be an on-point square, not a triangle. I don't know enough to tell you if, or how, you can customize it. Sorry, I'm really not much help but hopefully someone with more experience on EQ6 will be able to give you advice.
