  • No CD like description mentions.
I chose this product because the description mentions a CD, but it did not come with one. I sent a message inquiring but got no response. I chose to buy this one that was more money because of CD mentioned, but could have got a different one and saved $80 difference. Very disappointed.

  • Very detailed and comprehensive software
It was way way more complex than expected. Been quilting for decades now and I believed I could use this to create a unique pattern and it would provide pattern pieces and how much material for each area. But I would need to take classes to figure out how to use this. I can navigate around a laptop but this had way more than I needed. I’m sure it’s great for someone else, and it can undoubtedly do great things, but not at all what I needed. ... show more

  • Incredibly useful tool for quilters
I need to read instructions before I use a product ; I don't go boldly where no one has gone before. This product has a challenging learning curve, but it is very well organized and presented.

  • Surprised my wife
I have no idea about the pros and cons of this software. However, my wife installed it on her computer and was missing for days. If you want to crawl down the rabbit hole of quilting, this is it.

  • Not worth the money
I started using EQ software several versions back and invested in several updates as they came out along the way. I like the idea of this software but the execution leaves something to be desired and I am ready to give up. If you have any experience with basic graphic design software, you will find this very clunky. It unnecessarily complicates basic things that tend to be universal with graphic design software, and some of it is counterintuitive. I often set out to use this software but half the time end up reverting to a combination of Corel Draw, Photoshop, and my embroidery design software since EQ doesn’t let me do what I want. It has been rare that I ended up with what I wanted using EQ, despite my best efforts. I invested in several books and tutorials and it wasn’t that I wasn’t able to learn it. I just found it clunky, strange, and inflexible. Also, frustratingly, some of the free build updates that you download from their website don’t work. I think that is to get you to update to the next purchased version and needlessly spend more money. Their technical support instructs you to download freebie registry cleaning software that can potentially put your computer at risk. Short of doing that, you ultimately end up with software that is not usable. Sorry, I just don’t think this software is worth it nor does it have the flexibility to design many my ideas. I think they tried to make it basic but unnecessarily reinvented the graphic design wheel to some extent. ... show more
