Top Ten Reasons Why You Need EQ6...
While EQ6 is the newest
and most advanced version of our best-selling Electric Quilt software,
it's also the most user-friendly.
This incredibly full-featured
quilt design and drawing program has been especially designed with beginners
as well as advanced designers in mind.
Use it to design quilts,
draw blocks, scan in fabrics or select from over 20,000 blocks, fabrics,
colours, embroidery, photos, threads,
quilt layouts and borders
included in EQ6. Use EQ6 simply to try out colours, or print patterns in
any size.
Or use EQ6 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!
