#EQ6 ELECTRIC QUILT HOW TO#

I'm not saying that it's bad software, not in the least. I picked it up today and it took me a couple of hours to get to the place where I had a semi-working design. Not long after I purchased it, my sewing machine decided to be spazzy and had to be fixed, so I kind of stopped playing with it. It took me several days of playing with it to figure out its 'quirks' and I still have issues sometimes. I'm not a graphic designer, but I have taken CAD and other design classes and, I have to say, this software really frustrated me.

That said, I honestly think it's a pain to learn how to use. I liked the fact that it had pre-set quilt squares, fabric samples, and the fact that you had flexibility with your designs. I decided to buy it because I had previously been designing my quilts using paint and photoshop/drafting type programs, but decided that I wanted to do a bit less work. BTW Г‚ their online support is really good. And if EQ6 is better, well, youГ‚d probably really enjoy it. IГ‚ll just say EQ5 has a lot of quirks, but IГ‚m still glad I have it. I will say EQ5 always tells me more yards than I really need. After you design a quilt in EQ it tells you yardage amounts needed. You would be coloring graph paper forever, with EQ it is instant. I have often been pleasantly surprised when I change just one or two little elements in a quilt how much it changes everything. It is fun to play with the layouts, sizes, blocks, fabric changes, etc. I do love that I can scan my fabrics into EQ and actually see what the finished quilt will look like before I start.

I have never owned any other quilt software so I canГ‚t help you compare.

I havenГ‚t upgraded just because I have finally figured out how EQ5 works and I can maneuver around in it to make it do what I want, (finally). I have read that the EQ6 is much improved like Donna said. All that said, I am still so happy to have it. ItГ‚s not like any other computer program I have ever used. I will say it is not very user friendly at all.
