Questions Answered:
Will I be able to use my EQ6
projects in EQ7?
Yes. You can import blocks
and quilts from any previous EQ
project in a really easy way, then
just copy and paste them into your
My Library (User Library).
Will all my other EQ Company
software, like BlockBase, Dear Jane
and the Classic Applique blocks link
with EQ7?
Yes.
   
While EQ7 is the newest and most
advanced version of the best-selling
Electric Quilt software, it's also

especially designed with beginners
as well as advanced designers in
mind. Use it to design quilts, draw
blocks, scan in fabrics or select
from thousands of blocks, fabrics,
colors, embroidery, photos, threads,
quilt layouts and borders included
in EQ7. Use EQ7 simply to try out
colors, or print patterns in any
size. Or use EQ7 to forge a quilting
career, producing professional,
high-resolution block and quilt
images print-ready for books or
magazines. This is software you'll
never outgrow!

For
the Advanced Designer
EQ7 is a teacher and
pattern-maker's dream:
Fabrics
- import fabrics in JPEG, GIF, BMP,
PNG, or TIFF formats and it
automatically rescales perfectly on
the quilt or block.
Letters
- write on your quilts with the
Set Applique Text tool.
You can add a verse or add sewing
directions right on top of the
quilt. It's up to you.
Export
Metafiles - export vector
images in the .EMF format that are
outline only, outline and fill, or
fill only. Fill colors are the
average color of the fabric in the
block.
Export
Images - you need a high
resolution image? What size? What
format? EQ7 can do it and the fabric
is scaled perfectly. Magazine
editors and book publishers will
love you!
For
the Beginning Designer
Just
because EQ7 can do so much, doesn't
mean that it still can't be easy to
use. The company has kept beginning
quilters and beginning computer
users in mind throughout the entire
software design and documentation
process.
Draw
without drawing - Need a
new block? Use the Serendipity tools
to frame, merge, and tilt blocks
without drawing a thing.
Add
borders full of blocks in 3-4 clicks
- Use the Set Auto Borders tool to
make your quilt look stunning.
Use
Quick Quilt Projects - try
any of these quilt favorites to
color, resize, print, and sew.
Make
quilt labels - Use the text
tool to write out your labels and
make the back of your quilt as
interesting as the front.
Find
blocks within your sewing
capabilities - all the
library blocks have been marked
according to difficulty. So if
you're a beginning quilter, why not
try a beginning block with
rectangles only? Or how about a
beginning block with rectangles and
triangles only?
Learn
the software like you have a teacher
beside you - the company
has made 10 videos especially for
beginners and the help files are as
user-friendly as possible with you
in mind.
