Question For EQ5 Owners
I am wondering if EQ5 is getting too outdated. I tried to add some fabric colors yesterday and they would not go in. Is anyone else having problems like this?
Should I consider getting EQ7?

I checked the EQ website and I don't see any way to upgrade from EQ5. They also don't have upgrades to EQ7 anymore, because EQ8 is the current version. If you buy EQ8, I have no idea if all of your files from EQ5 are compatible. You might want to call or email them to find out what your options are. Here is a link to the website:

I would check with EQ as well. I've never loaded any fabrics into EQ5 so can't answer your question. I don't use it often so it still suits my needs regarding designing blocks/quilts but then again, I'm not overly creative, lol.

Shot in the dark here, I started with EQ6 so I really have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm wondering if maybe your EQ5 image files are too bloated? Can you try deleting a few fabrics and see if the new ones are able to load up? Also, are the file sizes small enough?

I had upwards of 1200 fabrics loaded, and deleted about 400 of them. That was about 8 months ago. This is before I get to the import section. It just will not let me open the pictures of the fabric. I don't understand why it suddenly decided not to run. Anyway, thanks for your input. I will take a look at their site.

Did you by any chance upgrade the operating system recently? I am wondering if there might be a compatibility issue with Windows 10. Also, Windows recently made a security update that I think affects some of the operations on my computer.

I know that when I did the W10 update on my laptop, poof... I am not able to access things that I know are there...... someone with more computer savvy may be able to access them... but for me they are lost
