Then go through the 22 printable, full-color PDF lessons for comprehensive, step-by-step lessons that show you how to design quilts, draw blocks, work with images, and print patterns. Quilts can be as simple, or as complex-looking as you like. EQ7 can help whether you want to make a horizontal quilt with plain squares, or an intricate custom quilt with blocks of all different sizes. The possibilities are endless. Adding borders is now the fun part of designing a quilt!

Choose from over pre-designed Auto Borders, or create your own. Have as many borders as you like. You pick the width — EQ7 does the math, fitting borders perfectly for you. Central Medallions only take a few clicks to design. Using your own fabric scans has never been easier! Easily import your fabric and see it in your design!

Plus, EQ7 has over 45 different image effects, including artistic, noise, blur and many more. Filters allow you to sharpen, unsharpen, or detect the edges of your image. Square and Circular symmetries take portions of your image and repeat them according to your choices. Draw beautiful, original blocks and stencils, or let EQ7 create new blocks for you.

The EasyDraw drawing board works like a pencil and paper. Draw straight lines and arcs and subdivide as needed. Import and trace photos to create new blocks. The Freehand tool lets you draw freely, just as you would doodle on paper. Vines and leaves are easy with the Brush Stroke and Swath tools.

Just decide whether you want a plain vine or one filled with flying geese or diamonds. Over scanned fabrics are included. You can even let the computer choose colors for you with the Random Recolor tool. Rotate your fabric at any angle you choose, using the Rotate Fabric tool to create special effects with even the simplest stripes.

EQ7 includes over 5, copyright-free blocks. Use these blocks, change them a bit, or design your own. Use and re-use blocks as patterns or quilting stencils.

Choose any size. Audition quilting designs on your quilt to truly see your design at its fullest. Design your own quilting designs on the Block worktable, or edit designs from the library. Use the Set Thread tool to add color to your quilting! Print patterns and yardage estimates! Print yardage estimates for the whole quilt at once with 2 clicks. Print multiple photos onto one sheet of fabric. Just drag and drop your photos on the new Photo Layout page.

Create professional images of your blocks and quilts to use in class hand-outs. Export full-color images or outline drawings of your quilt or blocks to use as Web images, guild newsletters, magazine or book illustrations, pattern covers or just to show off.

So EQ7 would only work on the operating system you purchase. This will give you the files you need to run it on both platforms. This is a question.

I have eq6 on my PC, I now see that you have a Mac version for eq 7. I really want to use this program on my Mac. Do both formats come with the upgrade to eq7? I just recently upgraded to this version, and I absolutely love it! If I were to list everything I enjoy about EQ7, this email would be very long! Thank you for such a wonderful product! I have been using Electric Quilt since EQ2. I thought EQ6 was the easiest version to learn and have told others to jump right in and get EQ6.

I have heard back that I was correct and that they are enjoying creating projects in EQ6. And all the photo effects that are in EQ7 have had me playing with photos for hours.

Love the Apply Symmetries effects. Another place to get lost in. The Image worktable is really the coolest thing! Kudos to whoever has written the Help files for the Image Worktable. Everything is described in an easy-to-understand manner. I am finding out what all those photo effects do, with descriptions that I can understand and then visualize their use. Another place to go and have fun is Serendipity. We may have tons of blocks at our disposal, but Serendipity gives you the chance to create even more blocks from existing blocks.

On Custom Set, the size of block that you designed on the block worktable is the size that plops in on the quilt which you can then resize on the quilt, if necessary. I like being able to Zoom Out on a block or quilt so that the block or quilt gets smaller and is of very good quality when needing a small image for webpublishing or a pattern or a class handout.

In addition to using the Eyedropper tool for finding an existing fabric or color in your quilt, you can find a matching fabric to a color and a matching color to a fabric.

And you can also find a block. Finds the coloring you want when you have made many minor color changes in a block. Works beautifully for Sampler quilts. I am just going to use the program and then will find out, over time, that all those new things are waiting for me, when I need them. And will just enjoy mastering one thing at a time. I think that EQ has given a lot of us quilters the opportunity to go just a little further in our quilt designing — designing quilts and other items that we would not have attempted years ago.

EQ7 is not a revision, it is a true upgrade. EQ7 has so many new wonderful features! Designing art quilts is a snap with the new Image worktable and tools.

The fun to be had with new Serendipity tools kept me busy designing for a long time! The dynamic help feature, videos and EQ7 help manual built into the software make this an exceptionally easy program to learn. Dean and crew have outdone themselves with this latest release! This definitely has not been the case with EQ7. There are so many new features to love. These along with the return of an old favorite Clip and Flip allow me to create all kinds of wonderful new block from an old favorite out of the block library.
