I have EQ6 and have looked at it a # of times and howve no idea what I am doing the only thing I find it good for is downloading patterns that others have designed and offered in EQ format.

Bellaboo -- my DH corrected me -- it was version 3. It was definitely a disk, and it was a legitimate copy, not pirated or anything by the ebay seller.

I'm hesitant to buy it, because quite honestly, I never follow patterns, even my own. I'm much more of an improv kind of quilter. But I've been helping my mom and sister learn to quilt, and when working with them, it would be kind of useful in figuring out yardages and planning blocks.

Sounds like me . I got EQ 5 about a year ago and haven't even installed it yet! :)

My EQ5 was on my desktop...and then when I got my laptop (VISTA), I needed to transfer it over, which got me looking at the manuals to it again...had some issues getting it loaded, but EQ provided the fixes that I needed to do to get it working...but still, it just sits there not getting used.

I'm like some of the others, I create quilts in my head and then just go at it.

I bought the first EQ at the Houston quilt show and have kept upgrading ever since, cheaper that way. I doubt that your version will work with Windows 7, and as someone said-it would be easier to get EQ7. I use EQ7 quite often for different things.

I have EQ6 and am still learning to use it....after 3 years!! Ha-HA!! I have designed 2 quilts on it (one is my avatar pic), and have been completely satisfied with the result. I am not an advanced user, obviously!! I won't be upgrading to 7, since I haven't learned all the 6 stuff yet.

Maybe, I need to spend a little less time playing on the computer and go teach myself something on my EQ...lol.
