Electric Quilt(R) 5: Complete Quilt Design Software

This program is pretty basic but still requires you read the instructions in order to take full advantage of all the features.

If you are trying to decide between EQ5 and EQ6, going with EQ6 is the product to choose. I tried to work with EQ5 to try to save some money, and there are some functions missing that I need - and EQ6 has them. I am specializing in New York Beauties quilts, and EQ6 has a pre-made grid for making blocks with curves, and spikes, so you can draw your own. If you import New York Beauties patterns into EQ5, (and have copyright permission), you can modify them slightly, but you cannot change size or number of spikes, etc., without a lot of trouble, because there is no grid to start out with. I also understand that EQ6 is much more user-friendly. I look forward to that. You can do a lot with EQ5, but it can be like jumping through hoops to get your quilt pattern put together.

OMG! What a deal. Product in excellent condition, CD loaded perfectly. Thank you for offering this at such a wonderful price.

EQ is a complicated program, and when one wants to make something truly their own, it is impossible to figure out. Some of the interfaces are not friendly, IMHO, and this program could be a lot easier. Will continue to muddle through...

Just downloaded it so far so good no problems.

Love this program! Does everything I could hope for. My computer runs on Vista, so am not sure if it is compatible beyond that, but was a very affordable option for me right now. Have designed several of my own quilts and blocks.

This is good software for Quilters who like to see there patterns before they start to cut. You learn new ways to put quilts together.

The Electric Quilt (R) 5: Complete Quilt Design Software is fun to use. I have gone through the lessons and really enjoyed the fun of changing things to what ever color or design I want. I will be using this program a lot.
