Too dumb to EQ
#1
I'm an educated professional who cannot, for the life of me, work with this program. I bought it when EQ5 first came out and have never been able to use it. Has anyone, anywhere, had this problem? I'm beginning to think the big A is knocking on my door?

I have a masters degree in technology and it took me awhile to figure it out, so don't stress. The best advice I can give is play around and view the tutorials when you are not sure how to do something. I would also recommend reading the manual.

I almost have to laugh at myself when I think about the irony of it. I use a computer everyday without disaster. but this one has baffled me. I have tried the manual, but admit I get frustrated and quit. Perhaps this will be my New Years project, along with a thousand others.
Thanks for the input, and
Happy stitching!

I got EQ years ago -- version 3 maybe? My degree is in computers and I worked as a computer professional for many years, but I admit I found the program exasperating. It was not at all intuitive for me, and I ended up abandoning it. I am sometimes tempted to by EQ5 or EQ6 but so far have not because I figure I'd rather spend my time actually making quilts than learning software.
It's nice to hear someone else with adequate IQ and computer experience found EQ frustrating!

shequilts, you have really brightened my day...someone else admits to being overly challenged by EQ...wow, I may be okay... then you admit to be very computer friendly...wahooooo, I'm feeling better since I'm not a computer whiz... and the payoff is enjoying your delightful sense of humor in spite of your frustration! I'm taking this as a lesson that we all need now and then to be reviewing...thanks for showing me how to adjust my own attitude...I owe ya' bigtime!
Now...just which of the big A's is tappin' on your door? Teehee?
