Check with them, I think you can use it on Mac, have seen some references to that, just not sure how.

No, they don't have a Mac version. You can run it via jumping through hoops-using Boot Camp or Virtual PC etc. Not fun and not easy.

There is now a companion CD available that is supposed to have paper piecing/foundation piecing patterns on it. It can be difficult to get on to the Yahoo group.

I have a quick question. Would it be possible to English Paper Piece the Farmer's Wife quilt? Would there be any major disadvantages to this method (other than time)?

If my only priority was the perfection of each block and time was no problem, what would be the best method from, say, EPP, Foundation Paper Piecing, Hand Piecing or Machine Piecing?

I'm not finding the EQ software for Farmers Wife on their website. Can you direct me to the right place?

I think the Farmer's Wife CD for EQ is out of print. Amazon has some.

and i believe the FWQ companion CD is a stand alone CD. this is NOT the one that comes with the book. at least this is the way i understand it. i hope i don't need EQ, because i don't have it. i understand EQ is several $100. right?
