EQ5 is driving me crazy!

I have EQ5 and there are certain layers you can't lay your block on, can't remember at this moment. So yes, try a different layer, I'm sure that is your problem. I seldom use mine, and it too was given to me, but its good for just what you described.

You say you hate yours so I'm going to ask you a question. Is it really that bad. I would love to have EQ7 but I figured that it would be cheaper to get 5 or 6 and since I don't have too much money that will have to wait. I'm pretty good a computers and I don't mind a challenge but I don't want to have to beat myself up over something either. So you don't think it's worth the price; right or wrong. I've heard alot of people on her rave about 7 but that price isn't in the budget so I figured also that if I got a lower version I could upgrade cheaper than the new one. Is it that bad?

Try putting the block on layer 2. I don't have my EQ on this laptop and am away at the moment, but I do recall having some of your same problems. You can align and size you layer 2 blocks with exact spec using the toolbar that shows up when you are working on layer 2. It is a learning curve, but once you get the feel of it it starts to make internal sense.

I have QuiltPro and have used it many times to draw blocks and set them before I color them. I've never used the manual for it. I've never used EQ so I can't compare them. Sounds like a lot more work to draw a block, though. I'm sure there are reasons why so many prefer EQ. I would like to know from someone whose used both, but that should probably be another thread. Good luck on your project.

Still didn't solve my problem. The blocks are still going in blank and I still can't set them into the quilt.
