I recently bought Electric Quilt software – I’ve always been a pencil and paper (or fabric on the design wall) kind of quilter. But I’ve been playing more with design, and some (especially this one) could benefit from more sophisticated tools.
But this is not an intuitive software, and I’m still in that frustrating stage of learning a new system where my ambitions are way ahead of my abilities, so I’m playing with simple patterns while I learn my way around. At least the result is a little hourglass layout for a pretty stack of Verna that’s been looking for a project.
Do you use EQ? Any tips?
I agree that it is not intuitive. I got EQ a couple of years ago and learned how to do some fairly traditional designs. Unfortunately, I got busy and have not kept with it. I really need to get back to it to see if it will be flexible enough for the designs I really want to do. I have MS Publisher and tend to mock up my designs in that since it is fast. But it isn’t as good if you want to change your layout.
