Choosing between EQ5, EQ6, EQ6 Upgrade and Quilt Design Wizard?
 | If you don't have any EQ software, and would like to design quilts on the
computer, you can choose from EQ5, EQ6
or Quilt Design Wizard. If your
computer runs Windows XP, you can choose any of these. If your computer
runs something older than Windows XP, you cannot run EQ6. |
| If you are comfortable with using computers, and/or you would like to be
able to design complex quilts using both pieced and appliqué blocks, choose
EQ5 or EQ6 (EQ6
is better, but you need Windows XP). If you are a beginner computer-user
or a beginner quilt-designer, you might be more comfortable with
Quilt Design Wizard. |
| If you already have EQ5, and also run Windows XP,
you might like to consider buying the EQ6 Upgrade.
This will give you all the features and functions in the new
EQ6. |
You don't need to buy both EQ5 and EQ6 - all the features of
EQ5 are included in EQ6. If you already have EQ5, and want the
additional features of EQ6, and you have Windows XP or later, just buy the EQ6
upgrade.
Or click here for a summary of the new features in
EQ6.
Choosing Additional software?
The following software packages can be run without any
additional software (i.e. you don't need EQ5 or
EQ6 to run them):
These software packages are add-ons for EQ5 or EQ6 (i.e. you
need to have EQ5 or EQ6 to be able to use these):
To put it another way, what do you want to do?
