I already spend most of my daydreaming time on patterns and fabrics. To be able to bring them to life sounds a little too dangerous. I may forget that I have a daughter that needs lunch or a dog that needs to be let out to shake a leg. :)Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677158349636441402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-39532051579671435212010-04-28T11:09:07.151-07:002010-04-28T11:09:07.151-07:00I love the way that you can see so many options wi...I love the way that you can see so many options with the same designs..<br />You're the best!!<br />With love<br />MomSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178911731183169275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-57074781978049456702010-04-28T08:01:41.643-07:002010-04-28T08:01:41.643-07:00I use EQ6 and I love it!
One of the best features...I use EQ6 and I love it!<br /><br />One of the best features is the ability to import the fabric swatch files (from Moda) and then color your design with the actual fabrics. This feature helps me ALOT in selecting fabrics for my quilts. <br /><br />I also love that you can scale blocks to get exactly the size that you want. Simply divine!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758370899074334182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-46852827062316421072010-04-28T01:12:23.169-07:002010-04-28T01:12:23.169-07:00I use EQ5.

EQ5 is terrible about figuring yardage so I'm hoping 7 will be a big improvement.galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768549263229767417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-41975694112842124612010-04-27T22:12:22.109-07:002010-04-27T22:12:22.109-07:00I Love EQ6.

I teach at the LQS and find it's great when students bring in a bundle of fabric and ask "What can I do with this?" or they have an idea of what they want but no pattern.I use EQ6 and everyone is happy. I can tweek it in no time and they get a start on their project that lesson.<br />I can't wait for the upgrade<br />CheersLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598513029636627617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-7891683712620531502010-04-27T21:32:34.183-07:002010-04-27T21:32:34.183-07:00I have a Mac, so no EQ for me.

I've been tempted but it depends on my budget. <br /><br />I love being able to print out the paper pieced version of any block. <br /><br />I actually used it recently with a BOM pattern that was poorly (I'm being nice here) documented. I needed to find the sizes of the individual pieces of a 6" block and EQ worked wonderfully!
