Upgrade to EQ7-- Do I or don't I??
#11
I did read the books. There are many shortcuts listed in the lessons that I wouldn't have known about on my own. I learned a lot watching the EQ How To videos on QNNTV too. If I read something I remember it pretty much forever so that helps too.

I bought EQ6 and then thought what the hell did I do that for. But having paid good money I bought EQ6 Simplified by Fran Iverson Gonzalez and worked through, start to finish. Now happy using it (although I don't use it all the time) and have pre ordered EQ7 - hope I did the right thing!

I think I'm not going to buy it yet.
I've decided to wait a couple months and read the reviews of people like me, those who've struggled with EQ6. Will they actually decide EQ7 is significantly easier and therefore use it more? If so, then maybe I'll buy it.
I'm disappointed by EQ's website. They have a link for EQ7 that says "watch a video" but when I click on it, it says "videos coming soon".
Well, a video might have helped me decide to buy it now!
Oh well.

I waited 6 months for the $ to buy EQ6, just before EQ7 was announced. NO I will not be getting EQ7, mostly because I do not have the $. I figure if I learn 6 and use it, I can update at a latter date.

But my problem is I never used EQ6 after I bought it....it was just too complicated for me.
I just can't decide if I should upgrade something I still might not be able to grasp.
Is there anyone else on the fence like me?

If you can't learn from the manual, you could try a class from quiltuniversity.com (inside of your EQ6 manual) I've heard the classes are wonderful and very worth the money. I've found the manual very easy to use but you do have to focus on what you're doing at the time and NO interruptions which is hard to accomplish for many of us

I had to keep going back again and again to the "how to's" unless I wrote it down or had the book next to me.
I see a lady on one of the quilt shows and she justs whips through it. Go here, click that, move over, choose this one...ta da! I want to be like her and I just can't seem to get there. (I know she's uses it every day and I don't etc..)
I guess I'm discouraged because I'm usually a "quicker picker upper" on things like this.
I'll probably cave and buy the upgrade.
But maybe not.....I hate being indecisive....or do I? ;-)
