Please send us your reviews to webmaster@electricquilt.com. "EQ6 is user friendly both to new and experienced quilt designers. The excellent support manual supplied with the software caters to all skill levels. There are clear, easy-to-follow introductory lessons for the absolute beginner; but equally, there are detailed instructions for producing teaching materials, drawing advanced blocks and much more, geared towards the more experienced quilter and software user... the more I explore EQ6, the more convinced I am that virtually any quilt can be drawn with this sofware – traditional, contemporary, pieced, appliqued or combined. If only I had time to sew them all." "EQ6 is phenomonemal. The manual is easy to read, easy to follow instructions and execute them. I loved your accompanying videos. The upgrades in EQ6 are amazing and well worth the price. I just hope my quilting can improve half as well as this program lets me design. Thanks for this outstanding product." "I've done one of the lessons and it's working perfectly. So far I am totally enjoying it and my kids are excited about what I can design for them. I think I've created two little quilt monsters... hehehe and they want to design some themselves. I want to thank you and the programmers for a wonderful product that we will all enjoy." "I recently purchased EQ6 and I'd like to tell you about my experience.
For me, EQ6 has been the most user friendly software program I have ever used.
I purchased a $1000.00 software program for digitizing embroidery patterns
and I can't accomplish anything using it. I've taken their class
which I had to pay extra for and I still can't work it. EQ6 was amazing. I literally
loaded it and took off. What a great user friendly program it is. I enjoy not
only the program but also the website, mystery quilt and other portions of
the homepage. It's the best
money I have ever spent on sewing related software." "I am just starting Lesson 3 and I just wanted to say how AWESOME this new program is. The lessons are fun, easy, and educational. The videos are a nice touch. The features are wonderful. Can't wait to design on this program." "You have done a fabulous job on this release. It is vastly superior to EQ5, and in each page of the manual I am introduced to a new and/or improved technique. Thanks for all your efforts. Great job!" "I can't tell you how much I love EQ6. I do quite a bit of pattern desiging for our shop and the patterns always look professional. 'Exploding blocks' is the best thing ever for pattern diagrams." "EQ6 makes quilt design a joy, pure fun! The program is so very intuitive. And, then those videos... wow, such a helpful tool. You all have outdone yourselves with EQ6. Thank you so much for your effort and thoughtfulness." "I had EQ5 and just upgraded to EQ6. I'm so impressed with EQ6 that I have recommended it to all my friends and family. I'm having so much fun with the lessons and found out things I did not know before. Please go out and by this product." "Well I have just finished lesson two - this is so great. ALSO JUST PLAYING
AROUND when a friend came for coffee and I showed her two blocks that i had
done - we printed them off. Seeing her today she has put it together and it
looks stuning... even if I say so ..." "I used EQ5 constantly and loved it. I wasn't sure that the upgrade would make much difference. WOW -- so many great new features! I just designed a complex trapunto project. Using the jpeg format for importing has made the process so much easier. I also like the new capability of customizing my toolbar. I could go on and on. Thanks for your dedication to bringing us such a quality quilt design program at an affordable price." "Just got Electric Quilt 6. I have done lesson one and all I can say is "wow." It is so easy and fun. This is my first EQ product and it is very user friendly." "EQ6 is the most versitile program I have worked with to design, develop, and then create beautiful quilts. My family loves them, and I love EQ6!" "I have finally been playing with EQ6 and am thrilled. It is so easy to follow the instructions and do the samples. The videos are fantastic. I am already planning my first class... Thank you - Thank you - Thank you. My designing will go to a new level now." "EQ6 is GREAT! I am fairly new to quilting and am hooked. This program has made me
go from following patterns in a magazine to designing myself. Who would have thought that
I could do all this creating on my own. I am designing so fast I don't know if I will be
able to catch up with the actual quilt making. Thank you EQ6 for making it so easy to unleash
my inner quilt artist. Worth every penny. Thanks again." "I've been putting off diving into my brand new EQ6, waiting until I had enough time to really sit and work on the lessons, figuring there'd be a pretty steep learning curve. Well, I got home from work yesterday to discover my THREE YEAR OLD son happily creating a quilt! I think he must have had help from his big sister, but since she's only 7, I'm thinking this is going to be a lot easier than I thought!" "I liked EQ5 but I am enjoying EQ6 much more. EQ6 simply invites me to play. I understand the way it functions and enjoy testing the various options. Pressing any button opens up new vistas and makes me feel like a computer wizard even though I am not. Thanks for designing this. It causes me to look forward to whatever you might come up with for EQ7 - but not yet. I have too much I want to do with this one." "I just installed my EQ6 upgrade and watched some of the videos. Wow, is this version super packed with so many wonderful new features. Thank you so much for such a great software!!!" "I just wanted to tell you how delighted I was when I received my EQ upgrade. I didn't realize you had even included new blocks! I also loved the feature that allowed me to auto link all my programs that go with EQ. I noticed that things seem so much easier to access and use. The manual is very easy to follow. It would take a book to tell you all the things I love about this quilt program, so I won't go on. All I can say is WOW! You really made the upgrade well worth ever penny it cost, thank you for everything." "I love the new and improved EQ6, particularly the patchdraw grid options, the circular grid is fantastic! Thanks!" "I have been colouring a mariner's compass and exporting the picture at 16". Then in another block which is hawaiian applique 16" I have imported the picture of my compass as a fabric and coloured the applique design with it (inspiration from a fruit and veggie challenge quilt). Without the fabric scaling feature this whole thing would not have worked for me!!! Brilliant feature guys... keep it up!!!!" "EQ6 arrived two days ago, and I have just finished chapter 2... This is seriously the best thing that has ever been invented in the history of the world. You guys are brilliant. This has to be the coolest toy ever created. So, I just wanted to thank you all, and congratulate you on such a Brilliant product. I shall be boring my non-quilting family about this product for months to come." "EQ6 is everything a person could ever want in a quilt program - you guys did a fabulous job." "Love the random recolor tool and the rotate fabric tool! Also the fabric scaling
is terrific! I also love the way you can click and drag your blocks in the Layout tab...
gives you a look at the proportions of the blocks and infinite sizing of the sashing... well,
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I LOVE EQ6!" "You have really made it so much simpler. Thank you. I've only completed two lessons but I'm very impressed. I've been an EQ user since you began. I can't wait to get to the drawing lessons and see what you've done with them." "My husband bought me EQ6 for our anniversary and I am having a ball. EQ6 is so easy to understand even our 4 year old is learning to design quilts and EQ6 is so high-tech any thing you can envision can be created. I highly recommend this wonder program to any one it is well worth the investment." "I have loved EQ since day one and I can't imagine making a quilt without first drafting in EQ. EQ6 is so superior over even EQ5, which I loved also. I have never taken any classes in EQ and to be honest, I really didn't start stretching my drafting until recently because some things I just couldn't figure out. However, in EQ6 I'm doing things I never thought I could do." "Wow - I cannot say enough good about the upgrade! I agree with all the positive reviews I have read! Now I believe that the sky is the limit
and I have a fast traveling balloon! Congratulations on making improvement to an excellent program! A very satisfied user and teacher" "Thanks again for a wonderful software and for your great service in support and all areas." "I am extremely impressed with all the new possibilities that EQ6 has to offer. My son is a main-frame programmer and I showed him a bit of what this program can do. He was extremely impressed with the programming that went into EQ6." "I am truly enjoying the new features of EQ6. The expanded video tutorials alone make it worth the upgrade from EQ5. I also like the quick quilt options so you don't have to start with a blank slate if you are stumped for ideas. Great product! "EQ6 is awesome, you guys have out done yourselves with EQ6. It is so easy to use and
design with. All the extra features are wonderful. The new quilt layouts that have been added,
random recolor tool, & free hand drawing tools are great. The category area is an added bonus, because now I can pick something out for a beginner or the advanced person without having search through the whole library to find what I need. And I really love the text tool for putting writing on my quilts. I will greatly enjoy sharing what I've seen and learn so far with my customers and encouraging them to purchase EQ6 or the upgrade. The Tutorial videos and display Dynamic help, place a lot of help at your fingertips. There is so much more in EQ6. I love It!!! Thanks so much. "I just received my EQ6 the other day and I have been studying the lessons. I think
this version is really excellent. I have purchased EQ 4 and 5 before but somehow couldn't
break into it... now I am launched. I have been wondering how on earth people could come
up with such intricate quilts out of their heads... now I see how we can be aided by this
powerful program. Wow, I am so impressed." "Are there words to describe EQ6? Could they be magnificent, unbelievable, awesome?
... and on it goes. The manual is so well done that it just makes EQ6 a breeze to learn.
The videos and Penny's beautiful speaking voice should receive an award. If you have EQ5
and
are a bit hesitant about purchasing EQ6 because well, maybe you feel that you just can't
start all over again. It isn't like that at all. The only problem you will have will be in
closing the manual and turning the videos off. EQ6 makes learning fun. If you are a senior
like me and just happen to be visiting EQ's site, perhaps you are thinking that this is way
beyond me *after all you are a senior* and we all know that it is much more difficult for
seniors to learn. HA!. Oh yes, Mr. or Mrs. Senior, if you don't know a great deal about computers,
don't worry EQ6 takes you by the hand and not only teaches EQ6 but it explains step by step
how to use your computer. Oh why aren't there more hours in the day. The kids have their
video games but we have EQ6. Thank you, thank you so much for giving us such a beautiful
programme. Now on to my next lesson." "I got my Christmas cards designed with eq6. Every time I sat down to design with fabric and blocks, I got carried away and hours would pass. There are just too many beautiful things we can do with EQ6." "Oh, wow! I've just discovered the colour search feature in the Fabric Library in EQ6. That is veeeeeeeeeeery cool! I wanted more yellow fabrics for the poppy quilt I'm playing with so I went to the Fabric Library, found there was a search button so I clicked on it and chose the By Color option. Chose yellow from the drop down list and got 52 yellows to add to my sketchbook. That is a fabulous feature!" "Thank you for such a great program. I wanted a border recently to use for
a Japanese type quilt I am making using continuous ¼" bias strips.
I adapted your Wavy line stencil to form the block I needed and printed out
as many sheets required to form the continuous border. This has now been completed
and as a secondary use I can now use the printouts as a pantograph pattern
for my Little Gracie Quilt frame. I am sure you must have already thought about
this but being excited about my "find," I thought I would share it
with you!" "I am absolutely having so much fun with my new EQ6. The book and lessons are so easy to follow... When EQ6 came, though, I had no idea how much more user friendly it is. I have been raving about it to my quilting friends." "I just received EQ6 four days ago, and have already designed an art quilt using free draw on the applique tab, e-mailed one of the motifs on the quilt to a friend, and imported photos. I have never used any EQ products before, and am surprised how easy it is. Even my 17 year old son said he liked the program, and he has no interest in quilting! Thank you for a great product." "I have had EQ since EQ3 (I think) and it just keeps getting better, bigger, and easier." "I've just finished the lessons in EQ6. I've had a lot of experience
over my working career with software user manuals and teaching videos. I must
say that
Electric Quilt has done an outstanding job on their products. The manuals are
easy to understand and follow and the videos very helpful. I am very impressed
with all of the material I have purchased from Electric Quilt and thank you
for taking the guess work out of learning to use your products." "I really love your product. I like that I can not only design my own quilts, but I can download photos and instructions for quilts in the magazines and books that I buy. Thanks again for a great product." "Your product is very intuitive and fun to use. I am glad that I purchased it!" "I have EQ6 and am so excited with what I can do with it. Scanning in fabric and then creating using those exact fabrics is GREAT! You know before you make a single cut into your fabric if you have enough for the project that you have created or if you should choose a different fabric or pattern." "I am really impressed with the program and especially your lesson book. I am an older person with some computer skills and your lesson book makes it so plain, simple and easy to follow."
"I have just purchased EQ6 and have completed the first 6 lessons – and I LOVE it! The whole thing is very user friendly and I wish I'd had one for years."
