I first started using EQ5 when my cousin who quilts sent me the software saying that she would never use it. That was my lucky day, I now use EQ Stitch I have stepped my way up through all of the versions!

I heard about EQ when I read something on line. I really don’t remember the details.

Love EQ7
11-10-2016

Heard about EQ7 from literature and website after purchasing Quilting design software from Connecting Threads
11-10-2016
9:22 am
I saw a friend using it. Was intrigued.
11-10-2016

I’m an IT professional, so when I read about EQ in magazines, it was a perfect match!
11-10-2016
9:22 am
I got EQ6 years ago and automatically upgraded to EQ7 when it was available. It’s been awhile, but I believe I heard about it thru a shop that sold sewing and embroidery machines.
11-10-2016
9:22 am
I heard about EQ at Guild meetings.
11-10-2016
9:22 am
When I started quilting (10 years now), I did a google search for quilting software. I work full-time and had a little baby at home. I knew I needed to make the most of my time.
It’s been a HUGE help.
Thanks

I was an online ad on a blog. It was a very long time ago. I can’t live without my EQ7.
11-10-2016
9:23 am
I first heard about it when I went to the AQS show in Paducah for the first time.
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
9:23 am
First saw EQ7 at a friend’s house. Fell in love right away but had to wait till my birthday to get a copy. Learning more each day and loving it. Would put these fat quarters to such good use in a quilt designed on EQ
11-10-2016
9:23 am
First heard of EQ7 from a friend and quilt guild member.
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
9:24 am
I have had EQ since version 1 and probably heard about it in a quilt magazine.
11-10-2016
9:24 am
I started with EQ3 and that was so long ago I’m not sure how I heard about it!
11-10-2016
9:24 am
I first saw EQ while attending and AQS show in Paducah, KY. I was was very cool.
11-10-2016
9:24 am
I was working at q quilt shop and a friend/co-worker raved about it She had used it from the very first version so I had to try it. I’ve been using it ever since. It is a very useful tool.
11-10-2016
9:25 am
I heard about the electric quilt through advertising. I signed up for some emails and it came to me though a communication sponsor I believe. Never would have heard about it otherwise. Glad I came across it!
11-10-2016
9:25 am
I saw EQ software at a quilt store, then heard about a class scheduled at our annual quilt guild meeting, so I got EQ and the rest is history!
11-10-2016

I first heard about EQ software while working at Hancock Fabrics, I’m not sure exactly when that was.
11-10-2016

Around 2003ish. I saw an ad in a quilt magazine.
11-10-2016

I first learned about EQ7 from a friend who had it and was telling me all she could do with the software. That was about 10 years ago.
11-10-2016
9:26 am
I saw it used in a facebook group – and bought it myself
11-10-2016
9:26 am
I heard about EQ University. I asked several friends who highly recommended the software. Purchased it and continued to upgrade. Since I haven’t used it in several months I have gone back to practicing and getting ready to design a quilt. Best investment in a long time.
11-10-2016
9:26 am
I first heard about EQ about 2 years ago whilst researching quilting patterns online. Finally purchased it 12 months ago and have been loving it since!
11-10-2016
9:26 am
It’s been so long, but I think I first heard about EQ on Simply Quilts or some other televised quilting program.
11-10-2016
9:27 am
I was working at a quilt shop when I first heard about EQ software. Since I love to make quilts and change patterns to suit my taste, the EQ software was perfect for me.
I started out on EQ5, and have upgraded with each new version.
11-10-2016
9:28 am
I started out using Quilt Wizard and liked its simple program and the ability to create my own designs.
11-10-2016
9:28 am
heard about EQ on the internet
11-10-2016
9:28 am
I had the opportunity to take a class in a BRAND NEW version of the program called EQ3! Have been using EQ ever since.
11-10-2016
9:28 am
Some of my friends use EQ7 to design or re-design their quilts. Thus far, I have not felt that I had the extra time to learn EQ7. When EQ came onto the market many years ago, I had another software quilt design program and did not want to double up. Now, I have a bit more time and would enjoy the opportunity of designing my quilts. Hope I win!
11-10-2016
9:29 am
I’m not really sure. Probably heard about it from quilt bloggers, & have known about EQ for near as long as I’ve been making quilts.
11-10-2016
9:29 am
I was actually looking on the internet a very long time ago for quilting software and your company popped-up! The rest is history!
11-10-2016
9:29 am
I learned about EQ through several Facebook groups I joined when I was first learning to quilt about 2 years ago!
11-10-2016
9:29 am
Many years ago, there was a program on Public TV concerning quilting and computers. Penny was the host, and we used to watch all the time. I really got into quilting when my twins were young, as in 30 plus years ago, I had only played around prior to that. My husband did a bunch of research and purchased EQ2 for me. He had internet hook up at work. I have used EQ exclusively and have never thought to try another product. When he purchased the program, internet sales were not available, so it was by phone call. He told me Penny is the one who answered the phone and assisted with questions. Thank you Penny and all of EQ for several decades of fun and design. You are the best. So I guess I first heard about EQ from Penny and her TV program.
11-10-2016
9:30 am
I heard about it on a blog, and just purchased it a few months ago. I love it!
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
9:30 am
I saw a friend creating gorgeous quilts on Instagram and they said they did it all from EQ7! I knew that it would be a very useful tool.
11-10-2016
9:31 am
I first heard about EQ design software in 2003 when I got back into quilting after 30 year absence. Researched quilt design software on the internet and in quilt magazines and purchased EQ4. have continued to upgrade and use it since then!
11-10-2016
9:31 am
Email from EQ. I’ve had EQ for years. Love to play” even when I’m not ready to make a new quilt.
11-10-2016
9:32 am
Wow, that is a tough question. I bought EQ3 when it first came out, however long ago that was. I think I saw it in a magazine, or surfing on line, but can’t remember that far back…
I love EQ Stitch, but would really like to have a Mac version. Any chance that will happen?
Thanks for all you do, the Tuesday tips are great.
11-10-2016
9:32 am
I have heard about EQ while surfing quilting on the Internet many years ago. It is mentioned by designers often and is very intriguing to me.
11-10-2016
9:32 am
I first heard about EQ from the husband of a quilty friend. He (the husband) is very tech-oriented, and was pleased to have found an area of quilting that was very interesting to him–the intersection of quilting and computers–and he loved to talk about it.
11-10-2016
9:32 am
I first learned of EQ through the internet. I was (still am) very new to quilting and was looking for tools to help me create beautiful quilts to pass on to my children and grandchildren. I wish I had the EQ7 – just too expensive for me at the moment. But I am still dreaming!!
11-10-2016
9:32 am
I do not know when I first heard about it but I have been a user since version 6 and I now have EQ Stitch and love it. This is a great program and those who do not want the full version now can have the mini one!!
11-10-2016
9:33 am
I have known about EQ for many years. Makes designing so much easier!
11-10-2016
9:33 am
I saw them use the EQ5 at a sewing class several years ago and decided I wanted one then. I’ve been very happy with what I’ve seen of the program so far.
11-10-2016
9:33 am
A friend was trying to use the software and asked if I could help her. I was instantly hooked! That was quite a few years ago now and I cannot imagine even trying to design for my pattern company without it!
11-10-2016
9:33 am
Can’t really remember, I think I first read about it in McCall’s Quilting magazine. I am very glad I found out about it!
11-10-2016
9:33 am
Must of been about 3 years ago at my quilt club, a fellow quilter brought her EQ and showed the group. Loved it!
11-10-2016
9:33 am
I found EQ5 and have been a fan since then with all upgrades since..
11-10-2016
9:34 am
My husband gave it to me for Christmas. I really have never used it, but have bought the upgrades thru v6.
11-10-2016
9:34 am
I’ve known about EQ for so long, I can’t remember how I first heard about it. More than likely on the Internet from a quilting blog.
11-10-2016
9:34 am
I was introduced to EQ design software at my local quilt shop Sewing Sensations in Calgary Alberta Canada.
11-10-2016
9:35 am
I don’t remember by now, but probably either reading online or a magazine.
11-10-2016
9:36 am
How?? No clue although I started looking at quilting related stuff on the Web in the mid-70′s. When?? Couldn’t tell you the year, but my first EQ software was EQ4.
Keep up the great stuff, EQ! I couldn’t design quilts without it.
11-10-2016
9:36 am
I bought EQ3 on a shopping trip with friends and have upgraded to every version since
11-10-2016
9:37 am
Many years ago at Road to California quilt show! Have updated since that though!
11-10-2016
9:37 am
I first learned of EQ software on Twitter from much more experienced quilters.
11-10-2016
9:38 am
I bought my first E-Q6 in the early2000′s when I first heard about it.
11-10-2016
9:38 am
I have been using EQ for at least 10 or 15 years.
11-10-2016
9:38 am
I started using EQ4, yes, its been that long and have used it ever since. I design all my own quilts and it’s just so handy for eliminating all the math and template making (including mistakes.) The best of all features, is the ability to work on a pattern, save it and go back to it years later. I designed a quilt early on but never made it. When my daughter married a couple of years ago, I dusted off the pattern I had designed probably 10-12 years ago, tweaked it and it turned out gorgeous. I LOVE using EQ!
11-10-2016
9:38 am
I saw it on the Internet and was gifted EQ5. Now I would like to upgrade. The possibilities are endless with EQ.
11-10-2016
9:38 am
I first learned about EQ online!
11-10-2016
9:39 am
It has been so long now I can barely remember, but I think it was mentioned on a blog I was following and I went to the EQ website to check it out.
I hope I won!
11-10-2016
9:39 am
I first heard about from a guild member. I was intrigued by it as I design in a graphics program.
11-10-2016
9:40 am
I started out with EQ4 many years ago & upgrade when they become available. I love to try different colorways with patterns before actually cutting the fabric to make sure it is what I want. I do this with every quilt I make. Saves a lot of time & frustrations in the end!
11-10-2016
9:40 am
I don’t remember how I first heard of it. I’ve been using EQ since v5. Still learning it and loving it.
11-10-2016
9:40 am
I first heard about EQ when I went to Quilt Market back in the late 1990′s. I bought one and went home excited to use it for my classes, (I am a teacher) but found it confusing and myself limited in my understanding of the use of it. My son tried to teach me but it took too much time and I left it by the wayside, updating every few years in the hope that I would find a way to use it to its best potential. This year I discovered EQ Mini and I love it!!!!!
I have already planned out two quilts borders and all. I know this is what I have been waiting for.Thanks for thinking of us and creating this version. Lucy Anne
11-10-2016
9:40 am
Some 10 years ago, while browsing through my local JoAnn’s! Wanted to buy it then, but wasn’t as heavily into quilting as I am now, so couldn’t justify the expense. NOW, I want it, but can’t afford it! Would LOVE a copy for my own use in creativity.
11-10-2016
9:40 am
Through a blog I was following, but I can’t remember which one now.
11-10-2016
9:40 am
Google. I wanted a quilting software program to help me make a quilt I was working on. EQ had high ratings and it did what I wanted it to. I love it.
11-10-2016
9:40 am
I have never had the opportunity to use the EQ software, but I have read so many articles on its many uses to design and color choice fabric helps. I would love to win a version of this amazing tool.
11-10-2016
9:41 am
I learned about EQ from a quilt shop.
11-10-2016
9:41 am
I went to a guild meeting and the program was a demo of EQ. That was my introduction to the software. I did some research and bought my first version; I think it was 4.0. I’ve upgraded every time a new version became available. I’ve been designing with EQ for at least 20 years
11-10-2016
9:41 am
I’ve had mine for a few years now and use it all the time. Don’t remember when/where/how I found out about it – probably in a magazine.
11-10-2016
9:41 am
I had an EQ5 and updated to an EQ7. I did use this program to make a quilt that actually was accepted to the AQS Paducah Quilt show in 2013. It really is nice to create a quilt and actually see it on the screen and to add your colors.
11-10-2016
9:41 am
Many years ago when EQ 5 came out.
11-10-2016
9:43 am
I’m not sure when I first heard of EQ software. It could have been from reading a blog online or from a quilting magazine ad.
11-10-2016
9:43 am
I heard about EQ through a quilting guild member several years ago. She helped me with a couple quilt blocks I had in mind & from there I was interested.
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
9:44 am
I first learned about EQ software from a quilt shop when it was version 5. I went on line and checked it out and purchased it. I have upgraded each time a new version comes out and it just keeps getting better. Love how easy it is to design my quilts from T-Shirt quilts to baby quilts to bed quilts, especially applique quilts!
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
9:46 am
I saw a demo of EQ at the Houston International Quilt Show.
11-10-2016
9:46 am
I first saw the amazing features of (then) EQ5 on QNN TV online over 10 years ago – and I’ve been hooked every since!
11-10-2016
9:46 am
I first heard about EQ approximatey 16 years ago when it was EQ4. I lived in Australia at the time and I saw it advertised in a magazine. There was also a magazine article comparing EQ with another quilt design software package who’s name I’ve forgotten! but EQ obviously came out on top. I bought it then and was very happy with it. Life took a different turn for a while and I now live in the UK and have had EQ7 for several years. Love it!.
11-10-2016
9:47 am
Shortly after I began my quilting journey I joined a local group led by Louisa Robertson, who, in addition to being a great teacher of all things quilty, is an EQ instructor. She often referrs to EQ and uses EQ layouts in our lessons, I have an old EQ5 but would love to have all the up to date bells and whistles!
11-10-2016
9:47 am
I received EQ7 as a gift from my mom last May. I did not know about it before then.
11-10-2016
9:47 am
I started with EQ 4 then 5 now I have EQ 7
11-10-2016
9:48 am
Happy-Happy 25th Anniversary and getting even better! You’ve grown so much by keeping up with the all the different fabrics and design possibilities! Amazing! I get more excited each month knowing I have a chance to win what I’ve been wanting for years…EQ7 & more. I love designing most of all and EQ7 will help me bring more creative designs to those who love the art of Quilting! Quilting is not a hobby, it’s a Life Long Choice!
Thank you EQ!

9:49 am
I first heard about EQ about the time EQ3 came out, maybe 6 years ago or so from some internet site I was visiting to check out quilting.
11-10-2016
9:50 am
I saw the EQ5 used at a sewing class a few years ago and decided I wanted one then. I have been very happy using the EQ7 that I have now.
11-10-2016
9:50 am
I saw posts on Facebook of people talking about the EQ software. They said how easy it was to use and that they were able to design many fun patterns.
11-10-2016
9:51 am
I first heard about EQ5 from the internet – it was probably at least 10 years ago. I love it!
11-10-2016
9:51 am
I was at a local workshop at our Sewing center and I heard about it there~
11-10-2016
9:52 am
It was in a quilt shop display.
11-10-2016
9:52 am
Don’t remember when or how. I think my first was EQ5.
11-10-2016
9:52 am
I first heard about EQ when my husband and I went to Quilter’s Cupboard in Uxbridge and Sue had it for sale. We chatted about it, and my husband thought it was wonderful, and bought it for me. I took some classes and was happy to use it when designing and auditioning fabric for my daughter’s wedding quilt. It was a simple pattern but fortunately I was able to put the actual colours into the EQ7 which made me choose green instead of red for the sashing…big difference.
11-10-2016
9:53 am
I wish I could remember, but it was several years ago. I belonged to an online quilting group and they were discussing it.
11-10-2016

I first heard of the EQ7 software when attending International Quilt Market and Festival in Houston, TX. It’s a game changer!!!
11-10-2016

11-10-2016

I learned about EQ from Judy Laquidara on her blog Patchwork Times. I can’t remember when I bought EQ, several years ago. I love it! Happy Anniversary
11-10-2016
9:55 am
I first heard about EQ years ago on a quilting show, but I can’t recall which one. I often watched Sewing With Nancy, Kaye Wood, Georgia Bonesteel, and Sewing in the Heartland. Maybe it was Simply Quilts? Whichever it was, I finally bought my own copy when EQ 7 was released and love it.
11-10-2016
9:55 am
I’ve had EQ since version 1. I probably read about it in a magazine.
11-10-2016
9:55 am
I can’t remember not knowing about the wonderful EQ software. I imagine I first heard of it on the internet when I started quilting. I had wanted to purchase the software, but something was always more urgent. I had the incredible good fortune of winning a copy of EQ7 last year! I’m still excited about that!!
11-10-2016
9:56 am
I first saw the EQ7 program at Quilt Market/Festival in Houston, TX. It’s a game changer!
11-10-2016

Learned about EQ at a quilt quild. Wish I could dedicate more time to this great software tool in terms of designing. One day!
11-10-2016
9:56 am
I started using the very first edition of EQ….way back! Have to say it has helped me so much in planning my projects. I would be lost without it!
11-10-2016
9:57 am
I first learned about EQ software from a friend who worked in a quilt shop. She knew i had an avid interest in designing my own quilts. I think this is the best tool i have seen thus far in the quilting world.
11-10-2016
9:57 am
I don’t remember exactly when I heard about EQ software but it appealed right away. I was taking courses through Quilt University and took three courses using the software. It was an excellent way to learn how to use the program. I recommend your educational program to everyone if they want to get the most out of their software.
11-10-2016
9:57 am
I heard of EQ many years ago online I think, on some website? I started with EQ5, now have EQ7 plus EQ Stitch and several books and add-ones. Love the program (especially its drawing abilities) and use it regularly.
11-10-2016
9:58 am
Happy 25th Anniversary! I heard about EQ6 on some website, looked great. It seems like you just keep improving. Keep up the good work.

11-10-2016
9:58 am
I first heard about EQ design software about 10 or 11 years ago when I joined Brenda Papadakis’s Dear Jane online quilt group and everyone was talking about it and many were using it. I did buy one at the time and boy was it fascinating, fun and more useful than I could have imagined! I always thought it would be fun for a quilter from back in that era were here today to see the awesome tools that we have today.

I’ve been in a quilting group for 25 years. Once someone gets something new, like EQ software, it seem we all need to get it. It works great with EQ because we can give each other tips.
11-10-2016
9:58 am
I think I first heard about it on a PPS show but it was so long ago I really don’t remember. I’ve been using it since about version 4 I think
11-10-2016

I first heard about EQ several years ago. Probably online.
I have always wanted to have it to design quilts.
It would be fantastic to finally own EQ7!!!
11-10-2016
9:58 am
I started with EQ6 in 2011 (I think…) after hearing about it from a friend who used it. I upgraded later, and haven’t stopped using it for all my quilt designs, patterns, and classes.

Happy Anniversary EQ!! You have grown so much since the days of “DOS” and improving the program and keeping up with the times. I first discovered you some where around 1992 or 1993 and have kept right up with all your updates and I love EQ Stitch. I’ve been quilting more then 39 years and love that I can just play with EQ and come up with more ways to use blocks and to tweak them the way I want. No more paper and colored pencils, even though that was fun at the time, but now I can design quilts so much faster and more accurate! Quilting is a way of life, just like breathing and eating and you guys have made it so wonderful with EQ! Thank you and hope you have many, many more years ahead!

Happy 25th Anniversary. I heard about EQ back when EQ5 came out. My husband bought it for me and I had lots of fun with it. I still have my EQ5 disc but I don’t have it on my computer now.

I first bought the 2005 edition of EQ and have been using it ever since. I join monthly with a group of women who practice on and learn the program. We have come a long way! I use EQ every time I make a quilt, and love it! It is a wonderful tool. Congratulations to EQ on their 25th Anniversary.

I won the Quilt Design Wizard program on a shop hop, used it for a couple of years and decided I needed something more – EQ7!!!
11-10-2016
10:01 am
Over 20 years ago I had a basic quilt program. I didn’t do much quilting then. In the last 5 years I’ve started sewing a lot more and got EQ7 after reading about it on the internet. I love playing with the designs and trying various fabrics.
11-10-2016
10:01 am
I heard about EQ was from my mother-in-law who is an avid quilter. I have used several times to create quilts for my Husband who is a semi driver and loves the quilts I have made him to keep ward in his truck.

Happy 25th Anniversary!
I first heard about EQ7 about two months ago on the internet as I was looking for a program that would best fit my Quilting needs. After extensive research into all the programs out there, I finally chose you. I was able to get this program last month and have thoroughly enjoyed it and it was not as difficult as I was led to believe it would be.
Thank you so much for making my art better as I am not an artist (can only draw stick people..lol) so my quilting has been greatly improved upon and look forward to it growing even better. Thank you for all your hard work!

I was looking for a product/software that would enable me to more easily envision my fabrics in a particular quilt design. EQ7 fit the the bill!

10:02 am
I first saw EQ at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in 2012…..then it seemed to appear in all my favorite quilting magazines and on my favorite quilt designers blog posts !!! As I work on a MAC, I knew as soon as a version for Mac was available I simply had to have it !!! LOVE LOVE LOVE EQ7 !!!
Happy 25th Anniversary..and thanks for the fun year with chances to win such awesome prizes !

Have owned EQ for many years and starting with EQ 2 or 3 Love quilting and EQ makes it so easy to see the finished quilt before even starting. The staff at EQ has been so great, I moved and lost my original EQ cd still had my book and everything. when I had to buy a new computer they looked up my purchase and sent me a new cd. Great program and really great people.

10:04 am
I purchased EQ7 a few years back and now take a class once a month (with a friend)
so that I can use the full potential of of this powerful tool. Would love to win the lovely fabric too.
11-10-2016
10:05 am
I’ve been using it since EQ5. And I can’t remember how I found out about it. My guesses would either be American Patchwork and Quilting magazine or the Simply Quilts show on HGTV, since those were my main sources for quilty information back then.
11-10-2016
10:05 am
I first learned about EQ7 about 4 years ago when I was surfing the internet to find quilting software. I watched several videos and talked to several other quilters about the program. Everyone gave the software great reviews. So I took a chance on it and have never regretted it. This software is easy to use once you get the hang of it.

I heard about EQ from my niece and just had to try it out for myself.
11-10-2016
10:05 am
I have had EQ7 for only a couple of years. I had been using a free program to help me put together quilt tops for Project Linus and it kept failing. I bit the bullet and bought EQ7 and what a surprise. It has helped me a lot and even though I only use a very tiny portion of it, I love it.
11-10-2016
10:06 am
Heard about EQ7 while surfing quilting websites ages ago. Have been dying to get my hands on one ever since.

I first heard about EQ Software couple of releases ago when quilting friends started using it. I thought it was a great way for people to design their own quilts.
11-10-2016
10:06 am
I first learned about EQ7 at my quilt shop from some of the quilters. My husband got it for me for Christmas six years ago. I do use it & it has helped me with using colors & different blocks
11-10-2016
10:06 am
I have been using EQ since Version 3 … and am one of your biggest fans! Too long ago to remember who told me about it. I always tell my quilt students and guild members about it. I use it for creating blocks for exchanges and class materials. I *love* being able to design with it… and get ACCURATE yardage for each projects. I also *love* adding/changing colors/values and rotating blocks to ‘see’ secondary designs emerge! Wouldn’t want to quilt without it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
11-10-2016
10:06 am
I have EQ7 for about six years. Since I have a Mac, at that time I had to install parallels to convert to p.c. Now I can use it straight to my mac. I knew about EQ and when I saw it in action I installed it.
11-10-2016
10:07 am
I first heard about this kind of software on the APQS website while researching mid arm quilters. I found an article on found your EQ software in one of my quilting magazines. It sure would be nice to own it!
11-10-2016
10:07 am
I first heard about EQ6 when I started reading quilting blogs and websites. I was desperate for some help… my daughter was expecting and wanted a quilt for the baby. I had only minimal experience with the sewing machine and everyone knew I wasn’t capable of sewing a straight line! Well, I managed that first quilt (successfully!) and found I loved it. I had “designed” it without realizing it, using graph paper. My subsequent quilts were designed the same way. With each quilt though, I found I really wanted to see the fabric choices, block choices, etc. on more than graph paper. EQ7 was the answer. I have been happily designing with EQ7 for several months now.
11-10-2016
10:07 am
I heard about EQ7 through Pat Sloan’s Quilting Facebook page. Some of the members shared that they used it for designs.

I first heard of EQ about four years ago. While on another website, I saw I could register to win a longarm on the APQ site. I had no idea at first what APQ was about. I wanted to design a quilt for my daughter for her upcoming marriage.
11-10-2016
10:09 am
My first EQ was a gift from my husband. I had seen an article about the program and mentioned it to him as he was a computer specialist. Over the years, upgrades and additions have been wonderful gifts from my husbands and daughters. They all know how much I love using EQ design features. Happy Anniversary!
11-10-2016
10:09 am
Started using EQ5 many years ago and have been updating ever since. Do not remember how I learned about EQ but have been having fun with it ever since. We are now into EQ Stitch and still designing quilts and learning here in Canada. Must investigate doing elaborate borders next. So many years and so many quilts under our belts.

10:11 am
I first heard about EQ about two or three years ago from an instructor of a class who taught paper piecing. I have since taken two classes with this instructor to make two scrap quilts which have over 100 blocks each. She used EQ to make paper piecing patterns for the blocks. I really would like to learn how to make my own paper piecing patterns!

10:13 am
My husband bought me EQ6 for Christmas several years ago after he same me drawing out a quilt design and using Excel to create my design and color it. He thought there had to be a better easier way and did some research and discovered EQ6. I had started to see a little about it at that time and wondered what it was. I upgraded to EQ7 when it came out and added on EQStitch as well.
11-10-2016

I first heard about EQ when it was version 3, I was about to retire (fifteen or sixteen years ago) and my family bought it for me as a gift. EQ4 came out a week after they bought it and within days of receiving it I received an email telling me I could go to the store and exchange it for EQ4 at no charge. What an incredible company, I have upgraded every time for a minimal fee and even now use EQ7 on my Mac. I had a major crash on my Mac and had to replace my hard drive and once again it was loaded onto my system, I don’t know of another company who comes close to operating in this fashion. Bev Longford

It is hard to remember just when I first learned of the EQ program. After retiring I became more active in the Quilt Guild, enjoying reading quilting magazines, and sit and sew groups. It was in these groups I heard word of mouth praises. All of these contributed to learning of the EQ Software. Congratulations on 25 years in the industry. Would love to win the collection of 20 fat quarters. Thanks for your contribution.

Don’t remember exactly when, time-wise, but it was early during the EQ 5 days. Sneed’s of Charleston, WV was selling the product and offering classes. Because of it’s availability, my interest, and the classes I bought EQ 5 at Sneed’s and took a class or two. After purchasing EQ 7, I became very interested in the program and its offerings and have used it extensively and after purchasing a MacBook Pro, I changed from the original EQ 7 to the Mac version.
11-10-2016
10:17 am
I first heard of EQ software many years ago when they first started in a magazine advertisement, if I remember correctly. I’m 65 now and I remember reading about EQ5 or 6. I was amazed by the technology but now blown away with what the software has to offer. I’m praying hard to be fortunate to win this year. I love designing & have many beautiful Timeless Treasure fabrics in my stash just waiting to come to life in a QUILT! Thank you!
11-10-2016
10:17 am
I saw EQ about 20 years ago at a quilt shop and talked to some employees. When EQ7 first came out, I bought a copy for my best friend and me at Christmas. We each had limited time to learn and use. However, once the Apple version came out, I made a new year’s resolution to focus on learning and using more regularly. Any time I get stuck, the staff is amazing with swift responses to keep me on track. Twice, using borders options; colour and size, changed the appearance of the quilt top so drastically, received 1st place ribbons at two different county fairs. Love the fabric downloads. Thanks EQ Staff!
11-10-2016
10:18 am
believe it or not…. it was from a post on a plant/garden web site. I guess it was about ten years ago? The web site has a sewing thread, I found it quite accidentally. I was trying to find some information on a plant. I started to follow the sewing thread and someone on the thread posted a photo of a quilt she was working on, someone else asked about where to find the pattern. She said it was her own design, that she created on EQ !! I had no clue, had to google it.
11-10-2016

I first learned about and purchased EQ about 12 years ago. I learned about it through a
quilting magazine, although I don’t remember
which one.

It was right before the Minnesota Quilter’s Convention 20-22 years ago.
I was being interviewed by the local newspaper because of a quilt entry and i was talking about cutting up pieces of fabric and putting them back together which the journalist thought was hilarious (no Quilter’s in her family). However, I told her the design of the quilts is becoming easier because of new software coming out (EQ) that I would be purchasing at the show. I believe it was an EQ class that was offered by someone at the show I Signed up for, and then purchased the software.
11-10-2016

I first heard about EQ when I was looking through a quilting magazine. I hadn’t started to quilt yet but when I saw that there was software out there that would help me…that was all it took. I’ve been learning how to use EQ7 and LOVE it.

Many, many year ago I owned the first (or second) EQ program. I heard about it from my quilting friends and had to have it. Now I have EQ7 and love it!
11-10-2016

A few years ago I had a quilt I wanted to make with some fabric I was given and I had an idea of what I wanted but I was trying to figure out the size of the pieces and how much fabric so I looked online and this program came up and I’ve been wanting to get it ever since.
11-10-2016

When EQ4 was out, I imagine I read about it in a magazine, probably QNM! I don’t remember what year that was.
11-10-2016

I can’t say when it was, but many years ago I saw an article in a quilting magazine. I also see it mentioned on many blogs that I follow.

I first heard of EQ7 when I was researching the Dear Jane quilt and found Piecing the past quilts website. I’ve been stocking up on civil war fabrics and plan to start the DJ quilt as soon as I finish their Peace & Healing BOW which they designed on EQ7. The squares are 6 1/2″ each so is a good warm up for the DJ quilt. I’m hoping my husband will get me the software for Christmas. Congrats on your anniversary!!
11-10-2016
10:27 am
I heard about it years ago – so long I don’t remember. About 2000 I think, give or take a couple years. Might have seen it in one of the many quilting magazines I get, or heard about it in an email group.
11-10-2016
10:28 am
Started with EQ3……such a great design concept, time saver and fabric saver…No more wishing you had used some other fabric…..Now you can see what will work, what will work better and what will not work instantly on your computer…..

A few years ago a friend was talking about designing with EQ5. I waited until I retired and bought EQ7. Great place to begin a quilt!
11-10-2016
10:30 am
I was living in West Palm Beach, FL, at the time. I purchased EQ5 after I retired from teaching. We moved to Georgia, where I took a basic class. I purchased the EQ6 and then EQ7. I love making designs on the software. Now, that I am back in Florida, I am starting to make quilts again, but my lap top crashed, and I lost all my designs. Now, I get the fun of doing new designs. I also have other add on programs that I enjoy. The staff has been so nice when I need to re-install the software on a new computer(I had 2 computers crash).

I was thumbing through a quilting magazine, 3 years ago, and discovered this software that could design, change colors and fabrics, draw and even calculate yardage! I had to have it right then! I have been enjoying ever since. Thank you so much.

11-10-2016
10:34 am
I learned about EQ about 2 years ago after browsing through Amazon’s sewing and quilting supplies. I immediately purchased it and I absolutely love it! I couldn’t imagine not having this handy tool. It’s a godsend when I am making a quilt for someone. They are able to see a photo of exactly what the quilt will look like! I love this vital tool in my sewing toolbox ❤️
11-10-2016

I just recently heard about EQ7 while entering a contest. I was very impressed and immediately wanted to learn more. I will continue to research this.
11-10-2016
10:35 am
I believe I heard about EQ at the local quilt shop. The Quilter’s Ranch, in Tempe, AZ, was selling EQ 5. The idea of making your own quilt and seeing it in the fabric that you would like BEFORE you cut fascinated me. It’s my GO TO product when I’m uncertain about how much yardage I will need!
11-10-2016
10:36 am
I was attending Quilt Week at Sorrento, BC in 1994 when I noticed that one of the quilters had a printout of the quilt the class was making with the fabric she was using. I was fascinated to find that there was quilting software! I wasn’t really into quilting, but it was one of the things that got me really interested in quilting. Instead of doing what everyone else was doing, I could design my own, test out ideas, and get cutting instructions. I loaded the software onto my work laptop and took it with me to play in the evenings on long business trips.
I have used it to draft up blocks for the guilds blocks of the month, and to work out ideas for teaching classes, and can spend endless hours playing with ideas. Now that I am retired, I get to try out more of the designs!
Happy anniversary, and I hope you have many more!

I started with EQ 3 – had been reading about it in quilt magazines and bought it at International Quilt Festival in Houston in the mid 1990s. My memory may be faulty, but the software has always been wonderful!!
11-10-2016
10:38 am
Happy 25th Anniversary. I first learned of EQ software back in the 80′s. I had been quilting for years, always sketching on paper. I worked for an electronics/computer company so was thrilled to learn about your software. Thus, I started with EQ1.

I’ve worked in quilt shops for many years and bought EQ3 when we stocked it so many years ago! I’ve never regretted it for minute and have upgraded ever since. I have taught EQ so many times I can’t remember all the classes, selling the program to dozens of students. When I wrote my own book, Precut Combo Quilts (Krause, 2012), I used EQ7 for all the illustrations.
11-10-2016

I heard about EQ back in 2002 when I began quilting to make a quilt for my daughter to be whom we were adopting from China. I was making a quilt called a One Hundred Wishes Quilt based on a Chinese tradition of family members giving fabric and pieces of clothing to the new family in order to make a treasured wryly to wrap their baby in love with. I used EQ to import my fabrics and play with layout and design. I found it invaluable. I had EQ 5 & maybe 6. Had some issues with them but am looking to get EQ7 when I get a laptop that will cope with the software requirements.

I first learned about EQ7 just a year or so ago from a friend. I’m asking for it for Christmas this year but would love to win it!

I learned about EQ design software from LeahDay.com a couple of months ago. It looks really interesting and I’d love to be able to use it to design my own quilts!

10:43 am
When – several years ago. Where – Local quilt shop
I was a new quilter and the lady at the LQS was helping me create a new “first quilt” and play with fabric and I immediately fell in love. I wanted to purchase right away, however it wasn’t available (That I could find) for MAC. I purchased another program and was disappointed that it wasn’t as awesome as EQ. I have EQ7 now and absolutely love it and tell all my friends about it.
11-10-2016
10:43 am
I learned about it ages ago. Think I started with EQ4. Still have some of the books.
11-10-2016
10:46 am
I purchased EQ7 about 5-6 years ago. Great way to design your own patterns. Discovered it at Houston Quilt Festival.
11-10-2016
10:46 am
I have only been quilting for six years. I heard about EQ from a very talented quilter friend whom I admire. I was gifted EQ7 for Christmas last year. I love it!
11-10-2016
10:48 am
I am not sure when or where I learned about EQ, but I am sure glad I did. I have had EQ for a number of years. I started with EQ7 and now have EQStitch. It is very useful software when you take the time to actually learn it. I just love it.
11-10-2016
10:48 am
I learned about EQ on October 21. I saw a package at Quilted Straits in Port Gamble, Washington and was intrigued. I visited the EQ website that day and left with a download of EQ Mini. I just love it and have been creating table runners to use up all my holiday fabric.
11-10-2016
10:49 am
I’ve had EQ since version 4 probably saw an ad in a quilt magazine. Just love the versatility
11-10-2016
10:49 am
I was at a quilting class at my LQS, and someone mentioned a computer software program they had used to design a quilt. You could rearrange blocks, audition fabrics, resize the entire quilt, all without getting out a ruler and scissors. Hooked me right away.
11-10-2016
10:50 am
I am pretty sure it was on one of the sewing programs on tv. It may have been America Sews or America Quilts with Sue Hauseman. I have been using it ever since!
11-10-2016
10:51 am
I have EQ7 and love it.
11-10-2016
10:51 am
I learned of EQ7 through the internet! Surfing my sewing websites, brought me to the idea of designing quilts on the computer. I was always math deficient and I viewed this software as a way to accurately calculate yeardage. But the greatest benefit that I now see is the inspriation to create! Thanks EQ!
11-10-2016
10:51 am
I believe that I first heard about EQ in a quilt Magazine that I was reading quite a few years ago and then saved my money to be able to buy it and I have upgraded to EQ7 and love it. I use it as much as I can.
11-10-2016
10:54 am
THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WENT TO A QUILT SHOW AT GEORGE R BROWN IN HOUSTON TX AND SAW RHE AMAGING QUILTS AND PRODUCTS THAT WAS IN 1998 AND 1999 BEEN A WHILE,BUT I DON’T GET A ROUND LIKE I USE TOO, MISSED THE SHOW THIS YEAR IN NOVERBER!!!!

10:54 am
I learned about EQ some years ago but, back then, it was not ideal for MAC users (and I am a devoted one of those!). Imagine my delight to see on an online blog that EQ 7 came in a version that worked well on MAC. It DOES! I just wish I had more time to dedicate to it.
11-10-2016
10:54 am
I first learned about this softwear in a quilt club I belonged to. People would share quilts and tell about how they came about. I loved the originality of the EQ quilts and especially liked trying out color combinations that they presented and how they made their decisions.
11-10-2016
10:55 am
I saw EQ version 3 at my sister and stepped into EQ with version 4. Loved the Stash add-ons and am fond of Blockbase too. Imho Eq is the most user friendly quiltprogram there is. My latest project is designing the layout of the tiles for our new bathroom floor. Traced an image of the mosaic tile and now playing around with my “quilt-tilefloor”. I can show the builder the print and he can go ahead!
11-10-2016
10:56 am
I learned about EQ7 through my quilt guild in 2010. I was new to quilting and EQ7 helped me learn about the different blocks and quilt layouts. Took a few courses and have started to put it good use now that I know how to quilt more intricate designs.
11-10-2016
10:56 am
I’ve had every version of EQ so I don’t remember for sure where I first heard about it but I remember looking in quilting magazines for software. Obviously I love it because I upgrade every time!
11-10-2016
10:57 am
Fellow quilter showed me the program and I purchased it right away. Love it!
11-10-2016
10:58 am
I was introduced to EQ last March at a quilt show and I haven’t stopped using it since. I LOVE this program and couldn’t do without it.
11-10-2016
10:59 am
I first learned about EQ7, or any version of EQ for that matter, in early 2015 when I made the decision to make each of my 5 grandchildren a quilt for Christmas that year. I was a relative beginner at quilting. I would find a pattern I loved but it wouldn’t be the right size, and I would struggle through trying to adapt it and figure out how much fabric I needed. I searched the internet for help and found EQ7. Thanks to EQ7 I completed 5 queen size quilts in time for Christmas and fell in love with quilting! I still have a lot to learn about EQ7, but i never start a quilt without laying it out in EQ7, and I love the ability to scan my fabric and design my quilts with the actual fabric I’m using!
11-10-2016
10:59 am
I have used EQ forever I love technology and was fascinated by what could be done with the computer and my quilting – I saw and advertisement in a magazine and checked it out via the internet — convinced my local quilt shop to carry it.
11-10-2016
10:59 am
I first heard of EQ when I needed a new sewing machine. My old machine had died from being overworked. I did not even know until then that there were such a thing as embroidery/sewing machines. In the process of looking for a new machine we also found the EQ software and we have been enthralled with it ever since. My husband and I use the program with almost every quilt we make. We were both teachers with a growing family and did not have much time in 1996 so just imagine how much fun we were having seeing this new product along with sewing machines we did not even know existed. Thank you EQ!
11-10-2016
11:00 am
My quilting teacher uses EQ7, and she told me about it. Now I’m in her EQ7 group!
11-10-2016
11:00 am
I learned about EQ7 about 2 years ago when I worked at my LQS.
11-10-2016

I learned about it in an email.
11-10-2016

Not really sure how I first learned about EQ design software, but it probably was during an internet search for such software. Very happy that I found it!
11-10-2016
11:04 am
I first heard about EQ at a neighborhood quilt store, Quilt Quarters, Indianapolis, IN. My first EQ system was EQ 4 and I have used all of the updates.
11-10-2016
11:05 am
I first saw this on a facebook post
11-10-2016

I learned about it 5 minutes ago when I read your emailed newsletter.
11-10-2016
11:05 am
First heard in a quilting magazine after I started quilting about 5 years ago
11-10-2016
11:06 am
I don’t remember when I first heard about it. But my friends have been talking about it for years.
11-10-2016
11:06 am

11-10-2016
11:06 am
I saw the add in a quilting magazine and I even bought version 5. I did not due much with it as there were too many things going on at the time. I got reacquainted with the software a few months ago and have the newest version. I now having lots of fun designing new quilts and revamping so old ones that need to be finished.
11-10-2016
11:06 am
Somewhere in the blogging world. I honestly can’t remember which one exactly. But it intrigued me and I purchased the program a few months ago and learning lots.
11-10-2016
11:06 am
I first learned about EQ when it was new, over 20 years ago. In fact, I had one of the first versions. Then I got a new computer, a Mac, and there was no compatible EQ at the time. More recently, since retiring, I am quilting much more and I see that most of the bloggers I follow are using EQ.
11-10-2016
11:07 am
I believe my geeky husband found the EQ software for me, and not sure where he was searching but soooo happy he found and purchased for me. It has been such a fun, time and money saver and always a great learning experience.
11-10-2016
11:07 am
I overheard women talking about the software during a quilt show, and the designs they had created were breathtaking. I just bought EQ7 and I’m still doing the initial lessons but I love it already!
11-10-2016
11:08 am
I started with EQ4, now with EQ7.
11-10-2016
11:09 am
It has been a long time since I heard of EQ. I started with EQ5 and now I have EQ7. I love the software and was so happy when I could use it on my Mac!
11-10-2016
11:09 am
From my mother.
11-10-2016
11:10 am
I first heard about it right before EQ7 came out in one of my quilting magazines.
11-10-2016
11:10 am
The first time I learned about EQ was after I joined my first guild back in 2012. I haven’t bought it yet, but it’s on my Christmas wishlist this year!
11-10-2016
11:10 am
I came across it in Facebook. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
11-10-2016
11:11 am
I heard of EQ early on from magazines, and feel like it has always been around!
11-10-2016
11:11 am
I don’t remember how many years ago it was, but I bought EQ3 and have been upgrading to new versions and using it ever since. I am thinking of switching to a Mac and am happy that there is a Mac version now.
11-10-2016
11:11 am
I first heard about EQ on the QuiltingBoard forum. I purchased EQ6 and when EQ7 came out it was a must have too. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with next! It would be nice to see an addition to the program for cutting quilt pieces from strips of fabric.
11-10-2016
11:11 am
How and when? Oh my, it was so long ago, I don’t know. I have had EQ from almost the beginning and soon after I started quilting in the 90s.
11-10-2016
11:12 am
I first heard about EQ3 in quilt magazines and bought it at International Quilt Festival in Houston in the mid 1990s. Many changes since then!!
11-10-2016
11:12 am
I heard about it from my friend who was designing n EQ5 so I bought EQ6 and she upgraded too. We were the chairs for Block of the Month in our guild and it was invaluable to share our ideas and tweak our blocks. When EQ7 came out, I immediately upgraded and have never been sorry. It is wonderful for testing out color options and design changes. Couldn’t live without it.
11-10-2016
11:12 am
I first heard about EQ at quilt guild from a friend. Would love to win-I have never tried.
11-10-2016
11:13 am
A while back, over 10 years, from Fons and Porter! I haven’t been able to justify a purchase yet! I even was looking at older versions my daughter has a program that maps cross stitch from photos and we love using that, and we use a lot of graph paper for quilt planning! Thanks for the opportunity. oh, and love the teals and aquas and clear reds in the fat quarters!
11-10-2016
11:14 am
My sister used EQ7 to help design a quilt that my niece wanted us to make. It worked really well and it was nice to not have to hand calculate all the yardages!
11-10-2016
11:14 am
I read about it years ago in a quilting magazine. Did not have a PC at the time, but recently acquired a new laptop!
11-10-2016
11:14 am
First heard about EQ when it was 5 at the International Quilt Show in Houston. Bought 6 when it came out and now have 7. Love it. A necessary tool in my quilting tool box.
11-10-2016

I learned about EQ probably 20 years ago in a magazine. I had EQ4 but my computer was not cooperative at the time.

I first saw it on a blog, several years ago! I can’t remember which one!
11-10-2016

I learned about EQ way back in Version 5. I think I learned about it in a magazine.
11-10-2016
11:17 am
I first learned about EQ at a quilting retreat a few years ago where someone was using it. I have been wanting this program for awhile and still haven’t bought it as I’m still working full-time (retirement is soon!) I alter almost every quilt pattern I’ve completed and think this program would help me ensure proper colour and fabric choices, quantities, block design, and how it will look finished before cutting and sewing!
11-10-2016
11:17 am
I learned about EQ from instructors at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School Valley Folk Arts program. I believe it was Doreen Speckman. This would have been in the early 1990s. I’ve used it to design quilts and audition fabric. Great program at a great price.
11-10-2016
11:17 am
It was at least 10 years ago or so that I first heard about EQ. I have never had a chance to use it but I would love to try it! Thank you for the opportunity!
11-10-2016
11:17 am
I first saw EQ in a quilt magazine a couple of years ago, then I started seeing quilt alongs and quilt patterns using EQ on different blogs.
11-10-2016
11:18 am
I’ve heard about EQ software for years. Just haven’t taken the leap. Lately many of the bloggers I follow are writing more about using it.
11-10-2016
11:18 am
I first learned about EQ from a very good quilter and wonderful friend. Now, I can’t use any pattern without first setting it up myself in EQ. It allows me to find any mistakes in yardage very quickly.
11-10-2016
11:18 am
I learned about EQ many years ago and never had the time to really work on it so didn’t buy it. Now I have time!
11-10-2016
11:18 am
Our local quilt store carried them. It was fun to play with the program.
11-10-2016
11:19 am
I just started quilting about 3 years ago and was looking for some kind of electronic quilt design software and came across it through searching on Google. I’ve used it to design many quilts, and even made of few of them…..still working on them though.
11-10-2016
11:19 am
I took a class and the teacher touched on the topic of design. All her handouts were printed from EQ. I was intrigued and I must have mentioned it — because several months later, Santa Claus surprised me!
11-10-2016
11:19 am
Have never seen this in use and think that it would be very useful for a newbie like me!
11-10-2016
11:21 am
Can’t remember where or how I first heard of EQ. My first version was EQ3 and I believe you had to exit to DOS to use it. Also believe it came on floppy disks. Just love the way it has grown over the years.
11-10-2016
11:21 am
I read about EQ5 in a quilting magazine … probably McCall’s Quilting. I told my husband it sounding intriguing and he gave it to me for Christmas!
11-10-2016
11:21 am
I first heard about Electric Quilt 7 from my friend. I had just purchased and embroidery machine, and wanted to design my own quilts with designs. I still have a lot to learn, but I love EQ7.

This is the first I have heard of it but faithfully follow the Crafty Gemini. Love her new fabric line!
11-10-2016

I learned about EQ from Seams to be Sew (seamstobesew.com) when I joined the Long Road Home Row Along.
11-10-2016

11-10-2016

I only heard about it on November 10, 2016 (today). Sounds very interesting and I will be sure to visit again soon!!!
11-10-2016

I’d tried another computer quilt design program before I learned of EQ7 – so much better than any other. (I first saw EQ7 in 2006, I think, at a quilt show.)
11-10-2016
11:28 am
I first heard about EQ at Houston . I told my son about it and it became my Christmas present,
11-10-2016

A little over 5 years ago in a magazine ad. I lusted after it for awhile, then finally bought it at the Houston Quilt Show in 2011. I love it!!!!

First heard about EQ when it was version 6 online. Don’t remember the exact site. Purchased it and upgraded to version 7.
11-10-2016
11:30 am
When I first started quilting, in 2012, I made a bed quilt….only I made 25 squares that finished at 6″ each. Oops! A friend came to my rescue and used her EQ7 to design a setting that would still let those 6″ blocks shine, yet in a quilt big enough for my queen sized bed. Shortly after, a relative saw my stack of sketch paper quilt designs and bought EQ7 for me as a Christmas gift. I would be lost without it! I probably have used it once a week since then, at least. I’m still terrible at quilt math, but my EQ does it for me so I don’t have to!
11-10-2016

I heard about EQ on line but don’t have it.

11-10-2016

I don’t remember! It may have been in one of my quilting magazines, or it was mentioned in class somewhere. I finally saved up my $$ and purchased EQ7 about a year ago.
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
11:32 am
I read a lot of blogs and am not sure if I heard of it on one blog or several, but a few years ago I saw designs being made on EQ6 and just had to have it. When a friend was looking for a gift for his quilty wife I suggested it and she loved it. I just updated to EQ7 and I bet she has too. Thanks for giving us this very helpful quilting tool! Sometimes you just need to see what your idea would look like before you are off and running.

11-10-2016
11:34 am
Many years ago, when a fellow guild member began using EQ, probably one of the first versions.
11-10-2016
11:34 am
Learned over the Internet about it. Also show at quilt show.
11-10-2016

I would love to try it. Asked Santa for it we will see.
11-10-2016
11:35 am
It’s funny but the version I have is, I’m guessing, 10 years old. I think it was the first one you came out with. I still have it somewhere, hadn’t found the time to work on it.
I was living in upstate NY at the time.

I first heard about EQ7 at a quilt guild meeting. I’ve always wanted to try it but my budget won’t allow a purchase. I use graph paper and it works but it’s time consuming. I’d rather be sewing!
11-10-2016
11:37 am
Oh my. So many years ago in some of the quilt magazines.
11-10-2016

Probably about 5yrs ago while reading several blogs I follow. Interest peaked and I bought my copy of EQ7 a couple of years ago ….a fantastic addition to any quilter”s tools.
11-10-2016

I learned about it probably 7 or 8 years ago from a leader in our quilt group.

11:38 am
I was informed about EQ7 while taking a beginning quilting class 2 years ago. I’ve had quite a bit of “quilt learning”to accomplish, and now feel ready to take on a new challenge,the EQ7 software.
11-10-2016
11:39 am
Learned about it on the Internet and at local quilt shops.
11-10-2016
11:39 am
A friend told me that she used EQ to modify quilt patterns. I was intrigued!
11-10-2016
11:39 am
I heard of you when I was shopping on line for a quilting program, and ended up buying Quilt Wizard, which was simpler and easier for me to use. If I were younger, I would defintely want the larger program.
11-10-2016
11:39 am
LOVE EQ have been using for years. I have an older version.
11-10-2016
11:40 am
Learned about it over Internet.
11-10-2016
11:40 am
Saw it on a blog
11-10-2016
11:40 am
I heard about EQ from my BFF when she started using it way back when it was EQ4 or 5.

I first heard bout EQ7 when I was taking a beginning quilt class from Pam See in Oconomowoc, WI. Would love to be able to expand my quilting designs, using EQ 7.
11-10-2016
11:42 am
First heard about EQ when EQ6 came out – been a user ever since!
11-10-2016
11:42 am
I was introduced to EQ 5 at the IQM in Houston and have used it ever since, upgrading to EQ7! I even won a Best of Show at our local County Fair with a quilt I designed on my EQ7!!
11-10-2016
11:42 am
Many years ago as I have version 4 and wish I had kept it up to date.
11-10-2016
11:43 am
I learned about The Electric Quilt through a friend, who has an earlier version.
11-10-2016
11:43 am
First heard about EQ7 software when reading blog of Christa Watson some time ago.
11-10-2016
11:43 am
I must have heard about EQ through a magazine, as I’ve used it since EQ3. Love it and use it every single day!
11-10-2016
11:43 am
I first saw a demo on the second EQ years ago, on a web site. Don’t remember what the site was though.
11-10-2016
11:43 am
My quilting buddy has been raving about this program for a couple of years!! I would love the newest version and would share it with her!!!
11-10-2016
11:45 am
I first heard about EQ many years ago in a quilting magazine… first got EQ 5 and then more recently upgraded to EQ 7.
11-10-2016
11:45 am
Love, love, love.
11-10-2016
11:45 am
In one of my quilt magazines.
11-10-2016
11:45 am
I found out from a friend.
11-10-2016
11:46 am
I have had the software foe so long that I can’t remember when I first got it, and I love it.
11-10-2016
11:46 am
Back in the day of EQ5, I saw things in both magazines and at my local quilt shop. I purchased EQ5 and I have since upgraded to EQ6 and then EQ7. I feel I’m still learning the EQ products but more importantly I’m learning more and more about quilt design. It’s a great tool for design and documentation of the designs!
11-10-2016
11:46 am
I bought a E7 about 5 years ago and have used it to make my own quilts.
11-10-2016
11:46 am
I heard about EQ7 in Quilter’s Newsletter 25 years ago when it first came out. I was so disappointed that it wouldn’t work on my Mac. Had to wait years and years for it.
11-10-2016
11:46 am
first ? I don’t remember. But I want to buy it since a long time ! It’s what I do this month and I am now learning and testing. Today I draw a little quilt for a grand nevew, able to now how fabric I need, it’s the beginning of a love story.
I am French excuse my poor English )
11-10-2016
11:46 am
I do not remember where I first heard about EQ. I own EQ 5 and get very frustrated trying to follow the blog and apply some of the lessons to EQ5. It doesn’t work (lol). I will purchase or win EQ7 in the very near future! Great product!
11-10-2016
11:47 am
Many years ago I learned of EQ from my quilt guild.
11-10-2016
11:48 am
Love your fabrics. They are sooooooooooooo pretty.
11-10-2016
11:48 am
I really need one of these!
11-10-2016
11:48 am
I first saw it at the Houston International Quilt Market when I owned a quilt shop. It was so long ago I didn’t buy it then because so few people had a computer. I thought it was a novel idea! I bought it the next year…things had changed!
11-10-2016
11:49 am
I saw the box in my local quilt shop and was curious, so I looked you up online. That was probably four years ago, and now I teach EQ7 classes at that shop!
11-10-2016
11:50 am
I heard about EQ at a quilt guild meeting. Would love to have this fun and creative tool to work with!
11-10-2016
11:51 am
I read about it on a friends blog post.
11-10-2016
11:51 am
I was looking for the best progrm available to get into creating my own quilts. It was the v0best then and still is the best.
11-10-2016
11:54 am
I heard about EQ4 at my quilt guild meeting, and saved my pennies – by the time I could afford to buy it, it was EQ5! That#s what I have now, but I#d love to win EQ7!
11-10-2016
11:56 am
On our first holiday to the USA in May 2006, I bought a quilting magazine and saw EQ5 advertised in it. I was sooooo excited! On 10th July 2006 I bought a copy of EQ5 for myself by mail order and have since upgraded to EQ6 and EQ7. I love it! And am always finding new things to learn.
11-10-2016
11:56 am
A guest speaker “Pattie Carrie” from Northcott Fabrics, said that she gets some of her ideas from using the EQ7. So they had a class at the Quilt Store, Newmarket, On CANADA. I ordered the EQ7 for my Mac and took the class. The teacher would not allow me to to hook up to the stores Wi Fi. Therefore I missed the entire mornings lesson. Very displeased with the class because I didn’t learn anything Wanted to order the book to learn but the price is OK but shipping charges just added to the expense plus the Canadian exchange to USA. Didn’t mean to vent to you, just wanted to win Timeless Treasures Fat Quarters.
11-10-2016
11:56 am
I’m not sure how or where I heard about it. I bought EQ6 then upgraded to 7
11-10-2016
11:57 am
This email is my first introduction. I have never quilted before and have really wanted to start. I have been a seamstress for years,but not tried quilting except for small Christmas ornaments. This would make it easier to start!
11-10-2016
11:57 am
I have known about EQ from the beginning when I worked at a quilt shop in TN.
11-10-2016
11:57 am
A friend introduced it to me years ago.
11-10-2016
11:57 am
I first heard of EQ6 at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. I sat in on a demo at the vendors booth. I love playing with blocks.
11-10-2016
11:57 am
Being a computer engineer I knew that software would help me design quilts so I was searching the internet, reading reviews…and bought EQ6 (then 7)
11-10-2016
11:58 am
I started with EQ5 many, many years ago so I don’t remember when or where I heard about it. I just knew I needed it.
11-10-2016
11:59 am
I learned of eq7 in a quilting magazine ad.
11-10-2016
11:59 am
When I bought my Pfaff Creative Sensation sewing & embroidery machine. The store had them in stock.
11-10-2016
12:00 pm
Wow — I’m not even sure. It was at least 9 years ago, soon after I started quilting. I either learned about it from a friend or perhaps on a quilt show. Doesn’t matter — it changed my life!
11-10-2016
12:00 pm
Love the fabric!!!
11-10-2016
12:01 pm
I first heard about EQ design software from an aunt who is a quilter. She used the software to design and for layout prior to piecing. Thanks!
11-10-2016
12:01 pm
I heard about the software at the Oaks, PA quilt show from a friendly vendor.
11-10-2016
12:01 pm
This is a difficult question since I have been using Electric Quilt since version 3. I’m not sure of the years that version 3 was available. My guess is that I first heard about Electric Quilt software at a quilt show.
11-10-2016
12:01 pm
It has been so long since I got EQ7, I can’t remember how I heard about it. But, I love it.
11-10-2016
12:02 pm
I don’t remember, may be on quilter’s blog.
11-10-2016
12:02 pm
I probably saw Penny on PBS. I have known about it for a long time. I enjoy it a lot.
11-10-2016
12:04 pm
I have had EQ for so long I forget where I first heard about it. I go back to EQ4. I think it was maybe at a quilt show. Love the fabric you are giving away. Hope I am the lucky winner
11-10-2016
12:04 pm
Many, many years ago on a TV show, I think when EQ first came out. Took me a few years before I bought it though, updated every time a new version came out, but am only now really starting to learn how to use it.
11-10-2016
12:05 pm
I can’t remember when I first heard about EQ, but I know I’ve been using it since version 4 came out and, obviously, I now have version 7. I love the capabilities and will sketch out my quilts on the software, even if I’m using a printed pattern.
11-10-2016
12:05 pm
Long time. I have upgraded continually from EQ5. First heard of it at Floyd & Lizzies at least 15 years ago.
11-10-2016
12:06 pm
I learned of this on the EQ Blog. You have so many interesting and helpful information on the blog–would love to have the EQ software.
11-10-2016
12:06 pm
I recently purchased an EQ7 and am looking forward to designing my own quilts. I heard about it from a fellow quilter who just loves it. Can’t wait to get started.
11-10-2016
12:07 pm
I have EQ 5 but would love to have the version 7. I would also love to have this fabric bundle. Thanks for the chance to win.
11-10-2016
12:09 pm
I first heard of EQ when EQ 4 came out and I saw it listed in a Quiltmaker magazine. Up until then I had been drafting patterns on graph paper and this was like an answer to prayer because my designs were getting too complex for the graph paper and my limited drawing skills. Hooked ever since.
11-10-2016
12:10 pm
I have never heard of it before this newsletter.
11-10-2016
12:10 pm
I first heard about EQ7 about 6 years ago. I saw it in a quilt shop I frequented at the time and the shop was offering classes teaching the software. I thought it was a great idea as I was a novice quilter with limited design experience
11-10-2016
12:10 pm
I guess I have to say Google! I was searching for a program to help me design quilts with embroidery panels and EQ7 with Stitch was the perfect answer.
11-10-2016
12:10 pm
Your fabric is beautiful I am not sure where or when I first learned about the E software. It seems to be everywhere.
11-10-2016
12:11 pm
Fabric is beautiful.
11-10-2016
12:12 pm
I was first given EQ 4 for my birthday from a very dear friend. Though the continuing years I have purchased #5,6,and 7 along with accompanied programs. These programs have been an invaluable tool to my designing my quilts as well as given me great joy in the creation process.
11-10-2016
12:13 pm
fabric is beautiful. Be nice to have.
11-10-2016
12:13 pm
I was frustrated by using Microsoft publisher to try to design quilts so I did a Google Search on quilt design programs and found my way to eq7.
11-10-2016
12:14 pm
I heard about EQ5 more than 12 years ago, through a magazine ad at first. I don’t remember when I first heard of EQ7. I bought it just about a year ago.
11-10-2016
12:14 pm
Have heard about the EQ software for years but have not had one. Would like to learn how to design my own quilts. And the fabric designed by Vanessa is really pretty!!
11-10-2016
12:15 pm
I love your fabric.
11-10-2016
12:15 pm
I’ve read the ads for it in many quilting magazines.
11-10-2016
12:15 pm
I own EQ 5. I have read about EQ7 in Quilt magazines
11-10-2016
12:15 pm
I saw my local quilt shop, A Stitch in Time in Franklin NC, demo it during a quilting class.
11-10-2016
12:16 pm
A friend of mine has EQ& and she has taught me how to use hers. WOuld love one of my own. Then I would be able to produce my own quilt designs to share with friends.
11-10-2016
12:17 pm
I first came across EQ in 2008 when I was beginning to get more serious about quilting. I then looked at all the different programs which would give me designing skills and eventually chose EQ7 because it was the best in every way. How did I find it? – I met our UK distributor at a show and he demonstrated it to me.
11-10-2016
12:17 pm
I first started with EQ5 when it was available – and I don’t remember the date, but I read about it in various quilting magazines. I actually bought a used Windows laptop so I could use it and was thrilled when a Mac version of EQ7 was available. I use it mostly to see how colour placement in a quilt block and quilt will change the look when designing a quilt. I can’t imagine not having EQ!
11-10-2016
12:18 pm
I upgraded from eq 6 when 7 first came out.
11-10-2016
12:19 pm
I don’t remember where or when I first learned about it – probably ads in quilt magazines and possibly from a local quilt store as well, some time after 2001. I know EQ5 was the first version I got, and I have used and loved it ever since!
11-10-2016
12:19 pm
I heard about EQ several years again when I joined a quilting community in New Mexico.
11-10-2016
12:19 pm
I first learned about EQ, then version 5, from the owner of the quilt store I worked at in 2003. I also learned about QuiltPro about the same time. Electric Quilt, in my opinion, is a far superior product.
11-10-2016
12:19 pm
I don’t remember when I first heard about Electric Quilt, but I remember being very impressed with it after a program given on EQ at Black Swamp Quilt Guild by one of your staff.
At that point I was hooked and I love playing with it. I make a lot more quilts on the computer than I will ever be able to make.
11-10-2016
12:20 pm
A quilt friend showed me EQ. I was finally able to get it myself last year for Christmas. I have taken EQ classes. Enjoying learning the product and what I have learned using this tool.
11-10-2016
12:21 pm
I’m not sure how long ago I first heard about EQ. My daughter bought me the EQ6 software maybe around 9 or 10 years ago. I love it and am getting ready to upgrade to EQ7.
11-10-2016
12:22 pm
I was given EQ 4 for my birthday from a dear friend. I have continued to purchase #5,6,and 7. I find these programs an invaluable tool to creation. I have also bought accompanying programs to expand my creativity. There is a lot of joy in working with these programs. I would encourage people new to quilting to purchase EQ and realize the potential in their abilities.
11-10-2016
12:22 pm
I tread about EQ5 years ago in a quilting magazine. When I retired and had time to use it, I bought it.
11-10-2016
12:23 pm
Learned about EQ at our quilt guild meeting about 2 years ago. One of the members gave a demonstration.
11-10-2016
12:23 pm
What more can I say but great program.
11-10-2016
12:23 pm
Started a long time ago and ready for upgrade to EQ 7. I think I have EQ4

I think I found out about it from my quilt shop 10-12 years ago. I honestly don’t remember!
11-10-2016
12:25 pm
I heard about EQ7 by reviewing a variety of blogs. Thanks so much for sharing
11-10-2016
12:25 pm
Heard about it from a quilter friend, and we were both sad that it wasn’t available for Mac at that time. Happy that it now is!
11-10-2016
12:25 pm
I learned about EQ from a friend who uses the software to design some amazing quilts!
11-10-2016
12:26 pm
I don’t remember where I first heard about EQ. I used to own it but then had computer issues, have moved twice, had ongoing health issues and haven’t gotten back into it. I wish I had because I love the idea of it!
11-10-2016
12:26 pm
Teacher of a class was using it to show how to design your wuilt
11-10-2016
12:27 pm
I first heard about EQ software approximately 13 years ago. Purchased EQ7 when it came out; still not as familiar with it as I would like. Learned about it in classes I was taking at my local quilt shop.
11-10-2016
12:27 pm
I first heard about EQ when I when I was making samples for a local quilt store in Grass Valley in 1998. The store in Grass Valley is no longer open but I am still an avid quilter that is referred to therapy in my house. I like the changes EQ has done to make the software more user-friendly.
11-10-2016
12:27 pm
I heard of EQ25 via Timeless Treasures Blog. So excited to try it out and the gift of fat quarters is a wonderful prize as well. Good luck everyone!
11-10-2016
12:28 pm
I heard of EQ when a friend and I went to a “Mariner’s Compass” class with Chris Kenna as our tutor, at Masterton, New Zealand, in May , 2009. I was amazed at the variations she showed us.
11-10-2016
12:29 pm
Not sure when or where but the first version I had was 4 I think. Might have been 3 but I don’t think so.
11-10-2016
12:30 pm
I do not remember the first time I heard about EQ, but I know I have wanted it for quite awhile. Just bought EQ7 last week.
11-10-2016
12:31 pm
My sister introduced me to EQ in 2003 and I have used it constantly since then. I have designed quilt layout to make quilts for family, friends, and myself as well as designing layouts for my guild. I love it. Thanks EQ
11-10-2016
12:31 pm
I found out about EQ in one of the yahoo groups I belong to and purchased it about 7 years ago. I like the fact I can “audition” my fabrics in the quilt I design to obtain the best colour combinations.
11-10-2016
12:32 pm
My first knowledge of EQ was 2010 while working for Deb Luttrell at Stitchin’ Heaven, Quitman, TX (now Mineola, TX). While I’ve never considered myself artistic, I’ve always believed I have a creative ability to use the software. I continue to be excited about new possibilities in quilting.
11-10-2016
12:32 pm
I just heard about it for the first time in an email this morning!
11-10-2016
12:32 pm
I first heard about EQ software from a friend in my quilting class. I had just started quilting, and I was graphing out the quilt top design and coloring it in. My classmate, told me I needed to get EQ5 which was current at that time. Shortly after that, I did get the EQ 5 software,and used it often in designing my quilts. A few years ago I upgraded to EQ 7. I love designing with it.
11-10-2016
12:33 pm
It’s been a long time but I believe I first saw info in quilting magazines. Whenever, however, I am very glad I bought it. It’s extremely useful.
11-10-2016
12:33 pm
About 1996 I quit playing golf and took up quilting. At that time I had 4 sons and three daughter-in-laws and 11 grandchildren. So shortly after 1996 I saw your ad for EQ7 and my husband, being the good guy that he is bought the EQ7 for me. I had lots of fun trying to learn to use is.. I didn’t grow up using computers the way my sons did. I still have some trouble with navigating sites. I have my oldest son now living next door to me and he helps me learn to navigate the sites and download things. Your fat quarters are beautiful and I am sure they would help me get back to quilting again. They say you can teach an old dog new tricks. Being 85 I sure hope so. Henri
11-10-2016
12:35 pm
I bought electric quilt in 2013, not sure which version that is. Heard about it on quilting blogs. crystalbluern at tds dot net
11-10-2016
12:35 pm
I love my EQ7. I’ve been using it since it came out, or shortly after that. I’m pretty sure I saw info about it online, either Facebook or Quilt In A Day, and ordered it through Pocono Sew & Vac. Thanks for the fun give-aways this year.
11-10-2016
12:36 pm
The owner of a quilt store was using it and thought I would be interested. I had been drawing my designs on graph paper. I love it.
11-10-2016
12:36 pm
I just heard about it today and I’m going to look up more about it.
11-10-2016
12:36 pm
I actually got the first version. I believe I saw it on a quilting show on PBS. I have upgraded every time there has been a new version since then.
11-10-2016
12:36 pm
I probably heard on a PBS station back when I got Electric Quilt 4. If not on a PBS station (that’s all there was back then) then it was in Quilting magazines that I subscribe to. I have EQ7 now with EQ Stitch and I still enjoy using my programs.
11-10-2016
12:36 pm
As my first EQ was EQ5 it was long long ago, and have now upgraded to EQ7 via EQ6. I first heard of EQ in the days of Newsgroups from a member in the USA (I’m in the UK) and find it invaluable – though there is always more to learn. Happy Anniversary to EQ!
11-10-2016
12:37 pm
I have been using EQ software for a number of years and really enjoy designing and teaching the quilts that I have designed on the program.
11-10-2016
12:38 pm
I purchased EQ7 when it first became available after seeing it in a quilting magazine. Unfortunately, my disc has become scratched through the years and is a nightmare to register when I change computers. I would love a new copy so I could begin fresh and take lessons to really appreciate what the product is designed for.
11-10-2016
12:39 pm
I have never worked with EQ but read about it on different blogs and web sites and magazines. It sure looks interesting and helpful since I’m not very creative and usually buy patterns.
11-10-2016
12:39 pm
I’ve heard of the software from designers who use it on their blogs.
11-10-2016
12:40 pm
I am not sure which version I have. I find it useful to audition different colors in a pattern.
11-10-2016
12:40 pm
I first heard about EQ7 when it was fairly new, and Kathy Wylie was going to be teaching an intro class to EQ at my local quilt shop, Quilters Cupboard in Uxbridge, Ontario Canada; bought it, took the class and a follow-up class, and use EQ for planning my own quilt designs.
11-10-2016
12:41 pm
I have been a long time fan of the Electric Quilt program .. i am currently using EQ5 and would love to have the new version …I love designing my own quilts to make them uniquely mine and EQ has always helped me create amazing work.
11-10-2016
12:41 pm
I’ve always dreamed of the EQ7 when reading quilting magazines!
11-10-2016
12:43 pm
I’ve had the software for a quite a while and don’t really remember how I was introduced to it! Perhaps at a quilt show or an on line email. It is very helpful in designing and coming up with quilt patterns!
11-10-2016
12:43 pm
I have EQ5 and would love to upgrade to EQ7!
11-10-2016
12:43 pm
From EQ of course! I was using EQ5 and heard in an email about the new updated version. I saw many ads too. Love it!
11-10-2016
12:44 pm
Was a costumer for years for a local theater and schools. Started using the scraps for quilts and fell in love with quilting. Researched and researched to find a program to make it easier to design and estimate fabric needed. I give my quilts away because it is a love I want to share with others.
11-10-2016
12:45 pm
I purchased EQ about 10 years ago. Don’t use it as much as I should.:-}
11-10-2016
12:47 pm
I heard about EQ so many yeaars ago that I’ve forgotten where and when! Mostly I design my quilts by hand, but it’s getting harder to find scrap paper, so I guess I’ll have to finally break down and get EQ7! Probably WAY easier than what I do now.
11-10-2016
12:48 pm
I heard about EQ software through many YOUTUBErs, along with it being displayed on the shelf at my local fabric store. Have not had a chance to use it, but looks like fun.
11-10-2016
12:49 pm
I first heard about EQ on social media. I use it to design quilt patterns and try out different color options. That fabric is beautiful! Thanks for the chance!

I first learned about EQ years ago when i wanted to explore the possibility of designing my own quilts, i started with EQ6, and moved to EQ7. i absolutely love being able to design new unique quilt blocks and also create new ways to use the traditional blocks by changing coloring.
11-10-2016
12:52 pm
Believe it or not, I just saw this on my email!
11-10-2016
12:52 pm
I heard about EQ first through a mail in my email ID, last year.. n I’m happy to have checked out EQ..
11-10-2016
12:53 pm
I saw ads in quilting magazines. As I was computer savvy, I thought EQ was exactly what I needed — and I was right!!!
11-10-2016
12:54 pm
I heard about it 4 years ago and got mine for Christmas!
11-10-2016
12:54 pm
I heard about this at a quilt seminar but don’t own the software. I would love to be able to design my own fabric.
11-10-2016
12:54 pm
I first heard about EQ design software a little while after I got off dial-up internet access and could explore quilting information online.
11-10-2016
12:55 pm
I first heard of EQ Software when I was visiting a sewing blog although I don’t remember which blog. I was so excited to learn that there was a software program that could help me with quilt designing. I immediately started researching and purchased the software shortly thereafter.
11-10-2016
12:55 pm
It’s been so long I can’t remember. I’m guessing a blog somewhere.

I have own and have been using EQ4 for several years. Sure would like to upgrade.
11-10-2016
12:58 pm
Love to design quilts! EQ7 is the bomb for doing this!
11-10-2016
12:58 pm
I have seen the ads on the internet. Would love to have the program to work with. The fabric bundle is beautiful. Thank you.

I first heard of EQ at a quilt show at least 20 years ago. I bought EQ3 and have been using it since.
11-10-2016
1:01 pm
Learned of eq7 from magazines
11-10-2016
1:01 pm
I picked up a copy of the stripped down version of EQ at a local sewing machine shop. After playing around with it for a bit, I came to the conclusion that I really wanted the full EQ7.
11-10-2016
1:02 pm
I first learned about EQ through my local retail shop. I purchased EQ5 in December of 2003. I have always updated and now own EQ7.
11-10-2016
1:03 pm
I heard about EQ while reading a quilting magazine. I do not own one but sure would love too! I would love to design some of my own quilts. Not good at math so I’m sure this would really help in designing. Thank You.

1:03 pm
I started seriously quilting in the 1980s. After using reams of graph paper and hearing about EQ products from so many other quilters, I finally bought EQ5. I’ve upgraded twice and now have Stitch, though I’m ashamed to admit I’m not using it enough.
11-10-2016
1:03 pm
I first heard of EQ7 on a quilting board I belong to soon after starting to quilt. Two years later I now EQ too. Still learning, but I’m enjoying it.
11-10-2016
1:03 pm
I think it was at my quilt guild but I’ve had the software since version 5 and I don’t really remember. There are still things I want to learn to do with it but actually making quilts sometimes gets in my way of doing that.
11-10-2016
1:03 pm
I think I first heard about Electric Quilt version 4 or 5 in magazine articles. I bought EQ7 in 2010, and I love using it, although there are many things that I don’t know about it.
11-10-2016
1:04 pm
I first learned about EQ through a blog (Patchwork Times).
11-10-2016
1:09 pm
About 4 years ago, I was struggling to create a quilt design in MS Excel. I scanned my fabrics and cut & pasted them into blocks/cells. It was pretty cool – but a lot of work and very limiting for shapes. I was describing this process to my beginning quilting instructor who told me about your product! EQ7 is eons above my efforts and I would love to use it in my home! Thanks for this giveaway opportunity!
11-10-2016
1:09 pm
I first heard about EQ on a TV show hosted by Pokey Bolton 5-10 years ago. She had a weekly guest who was a demonstrator for EQ.
11-10-2016
1:10 pm
I heard about EQ7 through quilting books about 6 years ago. My husband recently gifted it to me on our anniversary. He knew how long I had been wanting it.
11-10-2016
1:10 pm
I saw this for the first time in a quilting magazine. I thought what a great way to get your quilting creative!
11-10-2016
1:10 pm
A quilting friend that likes to design her own quilts told me about EQ during a weekly stitching gathering at my house around 2008. I bought mine several years later and have LOVED it ever since.
11-10-2016
1:11 pm
I saw it on a blog entry, but I really was interested when I saw it in American Patchwork and Quilting.
11-10-2016
1:11 pm
A friend led me down the rabbit hole She was contemplating getting EQ or maybe already had it – so long ago I can’t remember – but I started with EQ5 and upgraded with each new version. Don’t know where I’d be without it!
11-10-2016
1:12 pm
I heard about EQ from a friend years ago and I have the EQ6, I still have things to learn about it! Love it!
11-10-2016
1:13 pm
My local quilt shop was promoting the new EQ7 and I was given an on-the-spot tutorial!
11-10-2016
1:15 pm
Can’t remember where I saw it but so glad I have EQ7!
11-10-2016
1:16 pm
Let’s go back to the beginning. I saw it at the Lancaster quilt show when it was still in the Host. I use it a lot for working out block designs, quilt layouts, and foundation patterns. I think I bought 5 and immediately upgraded to 6.
11-10-2016
1:17 pm
I am just learning about this software. I think having the ability to create your own fabric would be so much fun. I want to learn more about this software and how to use it.
11-10-2016
1:17 pm
It is so long ago now that I can’t quite remember. I think I first heard about EQ from an article in an issue of Australian Patchwork and Quilting, when EQ5 was the current version!
11-10-2016
1:18 pm
I’ve seen advertisements for EQ in the quilt magazines I read and have always wondered if I could use the software to design my own quilts.
11-10-2016
1:19 pm
First heard about EQ7 about 3 years ago when I started quilting. I bought it for myself as a Christmas present. I know the basics of it but have not really “embraced” it as I should. I just need to take the time to really learn what it can do for me as I want to design my own quilts.
11-10-2016
1:19 pm
I first read about EQ in my quilting magazines that I receive and then through the email lists.
11-10-2016
1:19 pm
I first learned about this thing Called Electric Quilt and a demo at my local quilt shop. Back in 92, the only quilt shop in Northern Virginia was the Quilt Patch and I frequented them on a regular basis. The owner told me about this demo for a design product she thought I might like. My husband and I went down a Saturday shortly before Christmas and Santa brought me the first version. I laugh now thinking about drawing using the keyboard cursers, but it worked! And the rest, as they say is history! I love it and the staff. I wouldn’t think of making a quilt without putting it into EQ first. Keep up the great work!
Happy Anniversary
11-10-2016
1:20 pm
The guild I belong to has many members that praise the EQ7, and I would love to have one to learn how and join the fun.
11-10-2016
1:20 pm
It was on a blog years ago, but I don’t remember which one. I’ve seen many lovely quilts designed with the software. Thanks for the giveaway.
11-10-2016
1:22 pm
I heard about EQ7 at my monthly quilt meeting years ago.
11-10-2016
1:22 pm
On a blog several years ago. I’ve seen some great designs. Thanks for the giveaway.
11-10-2016
1:23 pm
I’ve had an EQ program forever! A fellow quilter introduced me to EQ3 ; then I bought my own EQ4 and remember using multiple floppy discs to put it into my computer. There was a stiff learning curve then so I’m very pleased that it’s easier to use now ; especially love the support your company gives to users of this great product. Have upgraded over the years and can’t imagine making quilts without EQ7 being somewhere in the picture.
11-10-2016
1:23 pm
I learned about it on a blog a few years back. I can’t remember which one I read so many! I bought it a year ago and still have so much to learn about it!
11-10-2016
1:23 pm
I’m a EQ user all the way back to V5. I really don’t remember where exactly I originally heard about it, but I’ve been singing its praises ever since!
11-10-2016
1:25 pm
I first saw this in my quilting magazine about a year ago. I can’t wait to be able to design and see the actual fabrics I want to use and shuffle them around!
11-10-2016
1:26 pm
While taking classes for my new sewing machine the instructor mentioned to the class the EQ7 software and told the class how to get it. This was something I could use and needed, as I felt a beginner. So I got it and have bein going full speed ever since. Love it and It is fun too.
11-10-2016
1:28 pm
Ea very good friend told me about EQ5 quite some time ago now.
11-10-2016
1:30 pm
I only began quilting just over a year ago. I’m in a couple of quilting groups and I signed up for some Craftsy quilt classes. In one of the classes, the instructor mentioned EQ7 and I looked into it. That was probably during the fall 2015. It took a bit as my budget has only allowed me to add all the items I need for quilting a little at a time, but I was sooooo happy when I finally got the software. Now I need the time to really learn it better!
11-10-2016
1:33 pm
I learned about the EQ software 2 years ago. I did so through my APQ magazine subscription.
Thank you for the chance to win such petty fabric!
11-10-2016
1:34 pm
I can’t be sure, I’ve had it since forever, and it might have been in a quilt store that I first saw it…Wouldn’t part with it now.
11-10-2016
1:34 pm
I was at a local sewing club, and I think Version 3 was just out. Lol That was many years ago.
11-10-2016
1:35 pm
I first heard about EQ from a friend, about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t quilt without it!
11-10-2016
1:36 pm
I first bought EQ4 found on a search engine, probably Yahoo at the time. Bought every release since. Use it for nearly every quilt I make, even those that come with templates to print. Chris
11-10-2016
1:36 pm
I have had EQ since either EQ3 or EQ4. I found out about it on the old Planet Patchwork site.
11-10-2016
1:37 pm
I learned about it from ads in quilting magazines.
11-10-2016
1:38 pm
In 2013…bought it and I love it!
11-10-2016
1:38 pm
I learned about it from some fellow member of the Crafty Gemini Quilt Club. Would LOVE to win Vanessa’s new fabric collection.
11-10-2016
1:38 pm
I first heard about eq thru the advertising in my many quilting magazines for more than 10 years now and I have updated to EQ7.
11-10-2016
1:39 pm
I first heard about this design software today from an email. It looks fabulous and I have a friend who would love to use it as she is an avid quilter and has shared some of her creations with my family.
11-10-2016
1:40 pm
Three years ago when involved in making patriotic quilts as a special favor for a new quilt friend’s wish to give a quilt to each member of her daughter’s squad before they were being shipped to a war zone, another member of this wonderful group offered to make a block I found into a foundation piecing block to assist in all the points in this lovely block. When she told me she would be doing it on her EQ program, she had my attention! It took me a few years to save up to get my EQ7 and I recently purchased a couple books during the recent sale to help me get the most out of this great program! Scaling back my sewing business for the first 6 months of 2017 to focus on learning EQ and following my desire to design.
11-10-2016
1:40 pm
I first heard about EQ7 right when EQ7 was first coming out. I had another quilt program (not EQ), but it didn’t let me do my own designs. I love using EQ7. I use it to make all of my quilts and appliques. It is so easy and fun to use with the instructions that come with it. I would and have recommended it to several others.
11-10-2016
1:42 pm
Gosh, 2007 maybe, I started with EQ6 and now have EQ7. I am pretty sure I heard about it on someone’s blog. Too many projects to remember with precision, I’ll save that for piecing.
11-10-2016
1:42 pm
I love EQ. Not sure which version I started with but had EQ 5 & 6 and was thrilled when EQ 7 came out for the MAC.
11-10-2016
1:43 pm
I don’t remember how I heard of it. Probably word of mouth.
11-10-2016
1:43 pm
Heard about EQ at my quilt guild, researched what it was about and thought it provided great value for the money. I have only been using it for 3-4 yrs. Love to design my own quilts, resize blocks and audition colours. I have taken a few classes and bought EQ Stitch.
11-10-2016
1:44 pm
I heard about EQ while in a quilting store looking for fabric. I overheard one person talking about what a great product it was and asked the owner. She said I was in luck because one of local ladies was offering a class and I signed up for it and have been using it every since. Thanks for a wonderful product.
11-10-2016
1:47 pm
I heard about it from a friend. Have not had the opportunity to try it.
11-10-2016
1:47 pm
I first learned at a quilt shop about EQ5, and got it. And every upgrade since then. Wonderful creative helper for me.
11-10-2016
1:48 pm
I first heard of EQ when EQ4 was about. I noticed it in a magazine and my interest was piqued. Eventually I purchased EQ7 and love it. Thanks for the giveaway.
11-10-2016
1:48 pm
I heard about EQ software from a guild member about 5 years ago.
11-10-2016
1:50 pm
I can’t remember how I learned of EQ. I started out with EQ5 and now I’m on EQ7. Not only do I design all my patterns with it, I also teach with it. When I teach a class, I can enter a near approximation of the fabrics each person has chosen for the class. They can then get an idea if their colours will work or not. Sometimes, a change is required and sometimes just a shifting of colours is what’s needed. I found EQ to be a very versatile piece of software. Thanks EQ!
11-10-2016
1:51 pm
I knew that there had to be some sort of design software out there and started searching on the internet. I found a number of different softwares but when I investigated, EQ6 and EQ7 had the most features/capabilities. I did try one of the cheaper softwares first and realized that you get what you pay for… Love EQ7!!
11-10-2016
1:53 pm
About the time EQ2 became available I read about it in a needlework magazine. Decided it was the best and bought it. Upgraded as each new version became available and now work with the EQ7. I create my own quilts, also input quilt patterns that I want to change the size. So much fun and so easy. For awhile I had a small group of ladies here once a month and we worked through lessons. Any time I get an idea for a quilt I scan in my fabrics and go for it. Definitely lose track then, but it is time well spent. I am forever telling others this is what they do.
11-10-2016
1:54 pm
I learned of EQ7 from watching a terrific class given by Kimberly Einmo! I am going through the lessons now and amazed at the capabilities!
11-10-2016
1:54 pm
Have read and heard about EQ7 but never got to even try to use it.
It would be exciting to use I’m sure.
11-10-2016
1:55 pm
i read about it on the internet and immediately bought one of the first ones
11-10-2016
1:58 pm
I first learned about EQ from my local quilt shop. She creates such fantastic designs using EQ.
11-10-2016
1:59 pm
I cannot possibly remember I’ve had it so long. I think my first version was 3. I’ve loved it ever since. And the upgrades have made it so much better and more powerful.
11-10-2016
2:02 pm
My first version was 5, and I honestly don’t remember where I heard of it first! A magazine would be my best guess.
11-10-2016
2:02 pm
I had a friend who had an EQ uncertain of the year I bought some fabric because I loved it without a pattern and she designed a pattern for me it was wonderful this quilt remains to be one of my favorite
11-10-2016
2:03 pm
The first version I purchased was EQ6, so long ago that I don’t really remember the year. The second quilt I ever made, used as a wedding present for a much loved nephew, was created on EQ6. I loved creating with it, even if the creations were never turned into actual quilts. I upgraded to EQ7 as soon as it became available but, somewhere over the years, used the software less and less. Getting your regular emails and following the blogs has inspired me to once again get back to it, re-learn its uses and find new inspiration.
11-10-2016
2:04 pm
I found EQ when, as a new quilter I started searching the internet for anything having to do with quilting. At the time I wasn’t sure I knew enough to use it much but now that I have been quilting a couple years I realize what a great tool it would be. I would love to be able to audition fabrics so I can change up quilts I see and like but would like to see how they look in other palettes. My next step would be designing my own patterns.
11-10-2016
2:04 pm
After sewing all of my life, I became a first-time quilter a year ago and discovered at that time, EQ quilting software while scouring the internet and quilting magazines for patterns and fabrics that I still can’t get enough of!
11-10-2016
2:05 pm
I started with EQ4 and have progressed with each version. Love it for adding borders! I am not sure where I first heard about the software (most likely a magazine)but love computers and decided it would be a good fit.
11-10-2016
2:06 pm
I have had EQ since version 4 or 5. I now have 7 and Stitch. I love the software but truthfully do not use it to it’s full capacity. I am amazed at how robust this program is. I am currently working on a t-shirt quilt and have decided to start doing the lessons included in the help section. It’s amazing how much I’ve already learned. Also, I have the additional books which are also a font of knowledge. I’m making this my goal – to have more knowledge thereby increasing my usage of the program. I really love Electric Quilt plus they have THE BEST customer service ever!!!
11-10-2016
2:06 pm
I learned about the EQ software 5 years ago while talking to a friend of mine at a Guild meeting.
11-10-2016
2:07 pm
I don’t really know where or when I first learned about Electric Quilt software. I have had a couple of the ealier version of EQ. I had a different company quilt designing program that I used earlier. I switched over to EQ and have really enjoyed using it. I use to teach classes. I used EQ to write and draw my class samples and loved how easy I could transfer it into my word processor to make hand outs for my classes.
I know I was using the EQ program in 2004.
I have just updated to the EQ7 and continue to love the program.
11-10-2016
2:07 pm
When I retired about five years ago, I found time to look for new crafts and quilting was one of them. While searching for something else online, I found EQ7 and bought it. I’m now (don’t ask!) learning to use it. The program mixes my two favorite things which are computers and sewing.
11-10-2016
2:07 pm
I only heard about EQ recently while reading a quilting blog
11-10-2016
2:07 pm
I have read about it in quilting magazines. Several blogs that I follow have someone who uses it and loves it. I saw a beginning class that I thought might be intetesting.
11-10-2016
2:08 pm
I learned about quilting design software on a Fons & Porter Love of Quilting show. Liz Porter showed how she set up a block exchange and used design software for the rules and directions for the exchange. Afterwards, I purchased Quilt Wizard. Thank you for sponsoring this contest and offering such wonderful prizes!
11-10-2016
2:08 pm
First heard about it in a magazine. That was several years ago.
11-10-2016
2:10 pm
I heard about EQ7 during a class I took at Smith and Owen Sewing Center.
11-10-2016
2:10 pm
I saw the ads in quilting magazines and my interest in design and computer software and was sold. Perfect match for me quilting- design – computers. I bought EQ7 about 5 years ago and have been using it since.
11-10-2016
2:10 pm
Your expect me to remember back 25 years!!!! I just know it is the best piece of software I have ever bought.
11-10-2016
2:11 pm
Thank you for the contest! I first saw EQ7 a couple of years ago while researching quilting programs and knew that one day I would love to own it!
11-10-2016
2:12 pm
purchased EQ5 in October 2002 and upgraded to EQ 6 then to EQ7.
11-10-2016
2:13 pm
I learned about EQ7 at the Houston Quilt Show in 2005. I love the program but have not used it for a few months. I need to design a simple charity baby quilt. Thanks for the program.
11-10-2016
2:13 pm
Heard about EQ when it first came out. Owners from Ohio. Probably, first seen in quilting magazines and quilt show vending.
11-10-2016
2:13 pm
I heard about it a couple of months ago. I was surfing the web for quilting software and this is what i found!
11-10-2016
2:14 pm
I read about EQ in Quilter’s Newsletter magazine about 20 years ago. That seems like such a long time ago.
11-10-2016
2:16 pm
In the early 90′s, my sister and I went to Paducah for the Quilt Show. EQ had a place selling the software. It didn’t even have a number then. I bought it and every upgrade since. I still have my receipt from my first purchase.
11-10-2016
2:16 pm
Maybe at a Quilt Expo in Baltimore. It was so very long ago.
11-10-2016
2:16 pm
It’s been so long since I first began using EQ that I’m not sure where I first heard of it. However, I think I first saw it on a quilting show on TV,… maybe “Quilting Arts” back when my PBS station used to carry it.
11-10-2016
2:17 pm
I get several quilting magazines and read about EQ in them. I also watched a demo at my local quilt shop
11-10-2016
2:17 pm
It’s been ages since I heard about Electric Quilt. I do believe it was on a quilting Yahoo group I belonged to. These groups are fantastic because you learn of ‘what’out there’, as well as get great support and help with problems you have encountered.
11-10-2016
2:18 pm
I started with EQ4. My son the software engineer thought it made a great birthday gift for me.
11-10-2016
2:23 pm
I learned about EQ4 in Quilter’s Newsletter magazine how ever long ago that was. I’ve enjoyed it ever since as I keep learning new skills. Loretta

2:24 pm
Several years ago I went to a workshop and one of those attending was so excited about the EQ software she had and described many of the things it could do. The next year I put it on my Christmas list and Mr. Wonderful came through!!! It is so helpful in planning quilts–especially I often start with and idea and run with it–not using a regular pattern. Planning colors and sizes is so much easier to audition fabrics.
11-10-2016
2:24 pm
I just heard about heard about EQ design software through this email.
11-10-2016
2:24 pm
I learned about EQ7 from an entry in a LQS Newsletter. The idea of using a program to design my own quilts and see how the fabrics looked was intriguing. The program was reinforced when I heard someone talking about how the use it at a quilt seminar.
11-10-2016
2:24 pm
A friend made a quilt layout with EQ7 and I was intrigued.
11-10-2016
2:25 pm
I first downloaded a demo copy of EQ back in the late 1990′s! I was sold. It’s been a while, but great to see the upgrades and improvements on this fine piece of Quilt Software. I believe I first found it on Softexpressions.com. I will definitely look at the latest EQ Software and see what’s new!
Thank you

Hi there,
I first heard about EQ in the early 2000s. I think Connecting Threads had it in their catalogue. I have been wanting to try it for years as it would be much easier to store my quilt/block designs on my Mac, instead of multiple sketch/graph paper books!
Thanks & Quilty Huggs!
11-10-2016
2:36 pm
I heard about it at a quilt show. Someone was using it.
11-10-2016
2:38 pm
I first heard of EQ about 4-5 years ago. I was at my LQS working on a quilt, during an open sew session. A couple people sitting near me, started talking with the owner about a quilt she was designing for a new block of the month program. She told them about one of her employees offering to help with the design using EQ. She said it made designing the quilt a lot easier and faster.

2:38 pm
I learned about EQ through different media, magazines, different quilt sites, websites, posts from quilters bboarde, would love to try it but budget is not allowing it. The possibilities of design seem endless.
11-10-2016
2:39 pm
I learned about EQ when I first got the Internet. I purchased EQ4 at that time.
11-10-2016
2:39 pm
I first heard about it many years ago at a state quilt show that had vendors selling products.
11-10-2016
2:41 pm
A couple of years ago, a friend told me about it. She has EQ6, and loves it. She designs her own quilts with it, & loves that you can bring in different colors and fabrics to see what it is going to look like. It seems pretty awesome !
11-10-2016
2:43 pm
I saw EQ several years ago on a quilting tv show. It looked interesting so I bought version 6.
11-10-2016
2:44 pm
I have had EQ7 for about two years and love it. Have designed several of my own quilts and some for others. It is great.
11-10-2016
2:45 pm
Hi my friend showed me her eq 7 ..it’s amazing how you can create your own blocks..and quilts
11-10-2016
2:46 pm
Oh my – I honestly don’t remember! I purchased EQ5 first, several years ago. Then upgraded to EQ7 and added EQStitch this year to help me design my own embroidery designs for my embroidery machines to go along with my quilts.
11-10-2016
2:46 pm
I first saw EQ on America Sews with Sue Hausman. I enjoyed that show, but I do not see it on PBS anymore. The creatirs, a married couple showed how to use it! Congrats you crested a very popular & useful tool. I struggle with color so I feel EQ would help me to design fantastic quilts!
11-10-2016
2:48 pm
It was way back when the first or second version was available. I was so excited to get the program and used it for many quilt designs. Wish I had time to make them all.
11-10-2016
2:50 pm
Many many years ago, I used to sit at my sewing machine on weekends and watch the quilting shows on my local PBS stations. My quilts were designed on graph paper. But calculating the fabric needed was quite a chore. It was several years after college, I had bills to pay, so I generally bought just what I needed to make a quilt. One day a lady came on to demonstrate EQ. Not only could could she design a quilt, but she could easily change the color or fabric! It could also tell me how much fabric I needed! Plus this product was made in my hometown!! I figured it was probably too expensive for me. But it stayed in my mind as I continued to design my quilts on paper. Several years later, talking to my mom one day I told her about this amazing program and how nice it would be to have it. And the next Christmas, EQ3 was in my stocking!!
11-10-2016
2:51 pm
I discovered it a few months ago while I was searching for tips on designing quilts on Pinterest. Now the software is on my Christmas list!
11-10-2016
2:51 pm
My stepmom uses it in her quilting business and loves it! I would love to have it at home too!
11-10-2016
2:53 pm
I heard about EQ7 from Jen (quilterinthecloset.blogspot.com). She was teaching an in-person class on paper piecing at our quilt guild, and she explained that she’d done all her designing and class pattern handouts on EQ7. I’ve been in love with EQ7 ever since!
11-10-2016
2:54 pm
Saw it mentioned in a quilting magazine, likely F&P’s Love of Quilting, about 3 years ago, around the time I started quilting.
11-10-2016
2:55 pm
Saw it in a quilting magazine and on line. I think I should check it out further!
11-10-2016
2:56 pm
i started with Quiltsoft about 18 years ago and have switched to your products eight years ago…i must say electronic tools have come a Looonnngg way! Thank you!
11-10-2016
2:57 pm
I learned about EQ when I joined a quilt guild and some of the ladies were talking about designing their own quilts.
11-10-2016
2:57 pm
I started using electronic quilting tools about 15 years ago with Quiltsoft. I switched to EQ products about eight years ago finally upgrading to EQ7. It has come a long way! Thank you for all your hard work!

2:57 pm
I fist heard about EQ during the 1996 Quilt Festival in Houston. My friend who already had EQ asked Penny if when she purchased the new EQ she could give the old one to me. Since I live in Israel Penny agreed and I became the very pleased recipient of my friends old EQ’s till I finally purchased my own EQ5, then EQ6 and now I also have EQ7.
Warm regards,
11-10-2016
2:59 pm
I learned about EQ7 at a lecture at our quilt guild. She showed all kinds of ways to use it.
11-10-2016
3:01 pm
I had seen ads for it in quilting magazines but didn’t understand what it was and did. Two years ago a friend of mine used it at a quilting retreat and I could actually see the software in use. I fell in love with the program and absolutely love it.
11-10-2016
3:01 pm
Not sure when I first heard about EQ, but I probably read about it on a blog somewhere.
11-10-2016
3:01 pm
My Viking dealer had a copy and showed all the wonderful things to do with it. It was EQ4, a LONG time ago! Been using it ever since.
11-10-2016
3:06 pm
A few years ago. I got EQ5 first and then upgraded to EQ7. Thanks for the chance to win some greate prizes.
11-10-2016

About 2003 or 2004, on the internet.
11-10-2016

I don’t remember how I discovered Electric Quilt but it was back in the beginning of Electric Quilt. I have continued to upgrade with each new transition and love to plan out new quilts with it.
11-10-2016
3:07 pm
I am a big Angie Padilla fan and have been signed up with her two websites because I love her designs. So when I saw her announcement on “Angie’s Bites & Pieces about doing an applique book for EQ7 I had to look into further! I can’t wait to get the EQ7 to start working on some of my own ideas!
11-10-2016
3:09 pm
Oh my, it was so long ago I’m not real sure. I think it was through a Yahoo group and it was in the very early days and I took classes online many years ago.
11-10-2016
3:11 pm
I read Christa Watson’s blog and she mentions EQ quite a bit, as she designs her quilts with it. I have been reading Christa’s writings for a few years now.
11-10-2016
3:12 pm
I can’t remember how many years ago I began using Electric Quilt, but I know I started out with EQ5. Pretty sure I originally found out about it in one of the quilt magazines I subscribed to at the time.
11-10-2016
3:15 pm
I heard about it through ads in magazines and a friend had one of the earlier versions
11-10-2016
3:15 pm
I have heard of EQ7 on blogs that I follow and in quilt magazines. I have seen some awesome quilts that are designed on it. Haven’t had the money to try it yet, but sure would like too!
11-10-2016
3:16 pm
When I went to my first International Quilt Show in 2010 is when I saw EQ for the first time I had seen it magazines but didn’t understand it until I saw it in person. Wow!
11-10-2016
3:18 pm
Although I have read about this software in magazines previously, I haven’t really thought I would use it. I have been quilting more and love working on the computer so I thought this might be a great combination of things I enjoy to do.
11-10-2016
3:18 pm
I have heard about the EQ7 years ago, I love quilting, but the expense of EQ software was more than I could spend. I would love to win this package, I am now retired and could surely enjoy the software application.

I first heard about EQ several years ago from my quilting friends at guild. I started using it with EQ5 so I have used it for several years and love designing and putting in fabric to see what it looks like.
Great tool.
11-10-2016
3:21 pm
First time I heard about EQ7 was in a quilt magazine. Of course, I then headed over to your website and I was hooked. I took a lesson at the Houston Quilt Show for beginners. There is so much this program can do that it boggles the mind.
11-10-2016
3:22 pm
I’ve heard about EQ7 from friends and then also from my own research.
11-10-2016
3:22 pm
It was so long ago, not sure I remember. My first was EQ4. Have used it ever since numerous times per week. Love this program. Love the backup from the company. Love that it continues to expand.
11-10-2016
3:23 pm
I started quilting so long ago …it was when Electric Quilt first came out. I surfed the net alot looking for patterns and saw an ad for EQ. The first edition
11-10-2016
3:24 pm
I heard Penny speaking about it on her quilt show. I believe tha I purchased the first version and LOVE it!
11-10-2016
3:24 pm
Wow, that takes me back! I know I had EQ4 on a desktop that has long been replaced, upgraded to EQ5, then 6 and have had EQ7 for a long time. Can’t remember where I fist purchased, either at a major quilt show or my LQS…
11-10-2016
3:26 pm
When I was a new quilter, my sister, a long-time quilter, (I would never call her an “old” quilter) told me about EQ. I purchased EQ7 this year and took 2 classes from Mary Ellen Krantz at the International Quilt Festival 2016 in Houston. I am so excited to discover the wonderful projects and associated functions available in EQ and am sure I will use it again and again.
11-10-2016
3:26 pm
I learned about the software online. I don’t remember where because I frequent a lot of quilt web stores!
11-10-2016
3:27 pm
I first learned about EQ when I decided that I wanted to try and design a quilt with my son’s high school mascot logo. I googled quilt design software.
11-10-2016
3:27 pm
I started with EQ4, so that is the when. I don’t remember the how….must have been through a quilting users group on the internet, long before there were blogs!
11-10-2016
3:27 pm
I stumbled upon Sue Spargo’s stand alone software package by EQ several years back when I first became enamored with her work. And this led me to the EQ website and fabulous customer service who helped me find that software. I had such a wonderful experience that a bit later I decided I just had to have EQ7 software too.
11-10-2016
3:27 pm
It was many years ago when I first purchased EQ, I think it was version 3 or 4. I believe I saw it demonstrated on a TV Quilt Show — probably Simply Quilts. I had to have it. I have loved it from the beginning. I now use EQ 7. It enables me to scan in my own fabric or use the wonderful fabric libraries, to be able to design and visualize the blocks and quilts I want to create. I’m sure I haven’t scratched the surface as far as all the features it provides. A day without EQ is a day without sunshine. Thank you EQ and congratulations on 25 Years.
11-10-2016

Not sure when, but it’s been years probably around 10 yrs when I first started quilting.
11-10-2016
3:30 pm
I found a passion for quilting when my daughter was just a toddler. I took my first quilting class and was hooked. Several years later, I found employment in a quilt shop (as a professional addict), and found the owner used EQ to design quilts and was intrigued. Started to use it in the shop and bought it immediately. I am always learning something new about it every time I use it .. altho’ I can design a quilt much faster than I can sew it theses days. Love how the program takes all our visions and puts them into a finished product. I have a son in the Marine Corp and have been working with Quilts of Valor for the past 3 yrs, again, so many quilts, so little time. And my passion continues ..
11-10-2016
3:31 pm
I happened upon the EQ website several years ago when I was on a quest to find Sue Spargo’s stand alone software after becoming very enamored with her work. That was such a pleasant experience that I decided that I just had to have EQ7, too.
11-10-2016

I saw the EQ5 software bundle in a quilt store – bought it – now I have EQ7 – love it more! Great Classes in Perrysburg OH – Great Instructors – Loads of Fun
11-10-2016

I’ve been with EQ since 5, and I have no idea how I first heard about it. I’m just glad I did! Thanks for the chance to win.
11-10-2016
3:33 pm
I first hear about Eq software about 4 years ago from an INTERNET add or link on the shop hop site. I tried the free version of it. I had it on my computer and my computer has died. Thanks for the giveaway.
11-10-2016
3:34 pm
I believe I first heard about EQ on a TV show years ago, but can’t remember which one. Then I started seeing it in quilt magazines, and learned more. I finally bought EQ6 and have upgraded to 7. My favorite part is being able to scan in the fabrics I will be using so I get a really true idea of what a quilt will look like. I feel more confident with my fabric choices when I do this.
11-10-2016
3:35 pm
I was attending a local quilt guild monthly meeting in 2005 when I first heard about EQ. I know a good number of quilters now using one version or another of EQ and they all love it!
11-10-2016
3:40 pm
It was many years ago so I don’t remember exactly, it was either at a quilt shop nearby or in a quilting magazine.
11-10-2016

A friend of mine has EQ Program. I saw it a year or two ago.
11-10-2016

I first heard about the EQ 4 software from a vendor at the Home Machine Quilters Show. I think this was the late 1990′s. I just keep upgrading!
11-10-2016
3:41 pm
I heard about EQ5 when I began working at a quilt store and ordered it.
11-10-2016
3:43 pm
I first heard about EQ7 in a magazine and thought it might be what I was looking for. So nice to have a program designed just for quilters instead of having to use Photoshop Elements and adapt it to whatever I need. Thanks so much.
11-10-2016
3:43 pm
After retirement I had to find a way to use all that fabric I had leftover from making garments for my family. Quilting has endless inspiration in that I can use every kind of fabric. EQ is sooooo helpful in many design development efforts.
11-10-2016
3:45 pm
I bought EQ back in 1994,before it was numbered. Still have the boxed hard cover binder the manual came in! The children have grown up and I still don’t have the time to learn the program completely. I learn what I need to make the quilt I am working on at the time. I’m sure EQ8 will be out before I get 1/2 of EQ7 mastered.
As to where I first heard about EQ I can not remember.
Congratulations on 25 years of providing a great design program.
11-10-2016
3:46 pm
My Aunt talks about it all the time. I hope to own it someday.
11-10-2016
3:48 pm
I first heard about it at a sewing store from an employee.
11-10-2016
3:48 pm
I purchased EQ a month ago, still trying to learn it! Like to design my own quilts!
11-10-2016
3:48 pm
I first learned of EQ7 from a locally owned fabric store. I went in with a drawing I had done in Microsoft word and she asked if I was using EQ7. I asked what it was, did some research, and purchased the program about a month later. I am loving my EQ7. I have so much more to learn.
11-10-2016
3:51 pm
I think I must have seen Penny talk about EQ on her show. I was a software technical writer and a closet quilter, so I was fascinated by what it could do. Besides the visual feedback that spurs creativity, it calculates yardage needed. Those features alone had me sold. I bought the first version ASAP and have upgraded with each new update. This is one piece of software I would not give up for anything!
11-10-2016
3:51 pm
My dear departed friend loved EQ. She was the first one in our group to have it. I think she designed more quilts then she ever made lol.
11-10-2016
3:53 pm
Years ago on the internet.
11-10-2016
3:57 pm
I heard about Electric Quilt about 12 years ago from a QBOM class I took at a local quilt shop. Bought the EQ5 and love it but would love to upgrade to EQ7.
11-10-2016
3:58 pm
A friend had EQ5 but didn’t know much about how to use it. Having been an autoCad designer, I took to using herEQ5 easily and wanted my own. I love designing my own quilts and tablerunner.
11-10-2016
3:58 pm
I attend quilt retreats and many of the quilters bring quilts to work on that they have designed using EQ.

3:59 pm
I first learned about EQ6 in 2009. I was at a sewing show and saw it there. After that I did some research online and then purchased it. I updated to EQ7 when that came out and bought the migration kit for Mac as that is all I use now. Then I bought EQ Stitch but had to split my hard drive with “bootcamp” in order to use it. That’s the only problem I have is having to use Microsoft when it is so “foreign” to me. Just wish I could use it with my Mac. I’d probably use it more!
11-10-2016
3:59 pm
My mother in law many years ago told me about it. She said I will buy it for you…and you learn. Then show me how to use it. Lol. Then she bought herself one because she loved it so much. It was EQ4 then.
11-10-2016
4:01 pm
My mother in law bought if for me years ago. She said for me to learn it and teach it to her. Then she loved it and bought it for herself. It was EQ 4 then.
11-10-2016
4:02 pm
I belong to a club and a couple of the women have the EQ. I’ve been hearing about it for about a year. Sounds so incredible
11-10-2016
4:05 pm
Gosh, I have been using eq since it’s beginning! Could have seen it in a magazine or on one of the very few TV shows at the time. I’ve always loved it. Can’t wait for Vanessa’s fabric, too. I knew her before she was a quilter. Look how far she has come!
11-10-2016
4:06 pm
It has been so long ago I can’t remember how I heard about it. Maybe from Margaret at the Quilt Foundry?!
11-10-2016

I heard about EQ at a local quilt shop, but I can’t remember the year. I did some research before purchasing EQ5.
11-10-2016
4:08 pm
As soon as I heard about it in 1991 on a PBS program with Penny McMorris and had one of my first computers. I am on EQ7.
11-10-2016
4:15 pm
I am not sure if I heard about you first at the first MQX that I went to, or in Machine Quilting Unlimited. I bought EQ7 and then EQ stitch and I still have not mastered the program. I design quilts for my customers as well as quilt other quilters quilt tops. It would be great if I could fully utilize all of the EQ7/EQstitch capabilities when designing quilts.
11-10-2016
4:15 pm
I entered a quiltcourse at LappeMakeriet, Norway in 2003, and the courseholder had used the programme for the compendium.
11-10-2016
4:15 pm
My husband bought EQ7 for me. I love it. I am still learning but the web site is great for teaching!
11-10-2016
4:15 pm
At a quilt show.
11-10-2016
4:15 pm
I found out about EQ design software by doing research online in 2012. I purchased it then but didn’t get to work with it very much until 2015. The program has so much to offer I doubt I’ll ever know all it is capable of doing, but will enjoy learning more as I design more. I’ve worked my way through a majority of the lessons/tutorials and now focus on learning by doing and designing quilts to make. Thanks for a great and versatile program and Congrats on your 25th anniversary!!!
11-10-2016
4:16 pm
Back in it’s begining on PBS. It sounded great.
11-10-2016
4:16 pm
I feel like I’ve been using it forever. I think I may have started with the first version and have upgraded each time. I believe I heard about it at a quilt show, but it’s so long ago I can’t remember which one.
11-10-2016
4:18 pm
P.S. Thanks to Christy and Amy at Valley Quilts for introducing me to EQ7.
11-10-2016
4:19 pm
I was browsing looking for quilting software and stumbled upon EQ7. After researching a bit, I bought it.
11-10-2016
4:20 pm
I do not know the year but I started with EQ5 and upgraded twice. I now use EQ7 and love modifying blocks, drawing my own blocks and designing quilt tops with my blocks.
11-10-2016
4:24 pm
This is the very first time I ever heard of this software. It sounds fantastic. I would really love to own it. Hopefully, possibly, I will win it.
11-10-2016

I heard about it on=line through other quilter sites. I hope to own one, one day.
11-10-2016

Not sire. But I have used EQ for many years 10-15 years. Love it!
11-10-2016
4:38 pm
I have heard about EQ on the Quilt Show and from various blogs I’ve read. Wish I knew someone who had one I could try. Would make quilting faster in the design process. Thanks for the chance!

11-10-2016
4:46 pm
I heard about EQ7 on the web; researching programs that would help me design paper piece patterns. That was maybe, 3 months ago. Since then it has also really helped me play with pieced blocks and I love playing with different color combinations!
11-10-2016
4:46 pm
Many years ago from someone who had the software
11-10-2016

Heard about it in 1999 from a friend who was using the program to design some blocks.
11-10-2016

I have owned several versions, but have never really mastered it at all. Probably heard about it about 15 years ago from a quilting magazine.
11-10-2016

I first heard of EQ from members of my quilt guild; I also saw ads in quilt magazines.
11-10-2016
5:00 pm
I have been using the Electric Quilt Program since the release of it’s first version Electric Quilt 0.1 in 1991.
Your program and updates through the years have not only helped me to design my own quilts, but have given me the tools necessary to explore the many different interpetations that pattern minipulation can make to my final quilt designs.
Thank you for making me a better quilter.
11-10-2016

I’ve owned EQ since EQ4 which I bought at Black Cat Quilts in San Francisco a long time ago. I can’t remember how I first heard about it, whether it was guild friends or at a vendor booth at the Pacific International Quilt Festival. I do remember talking to Penny at one of those shows… I’m finally learning the ins and outs with the EQ7 upgrade and migration to the Mac!
11-10-2016
5:03 pm
I purchased EQ in the late 1910′s and now am using EQ7.
11-10-2016

Oops 1990′s. so sorry.
11-10-2016
5:04 pm
I’ve drooled over EQ for 10 years, maybe longer. Ever since I had a home computer, I’ve dreamed of owning the software. I think I first saw it in a video.
11-10-2016
5:06 pm
It was so long ago I don’t remember! I had EQ5 in the past but then it didn’t work for me and I recently bought EQ7 after a presentation by my Quilting group. Looking forward to learning more on using it.
11-10-2016
5:09 pm
I think I first learned of EQ from a quilting magazine. After I retired, I joined a quilt guild and learned more from fellow quilters who use it. So EQ was my retirement gift to myself!
11-10-2016
5:12 pm
I truly can’t remember, I started with EQ 5 and now have 7. Still pretty novice user.

I first saw EQ on Instagram about a year ago. Now I see it pop up in people’s comments every once in a while!
11-10-2016
5:16 pm
I started with EQ 6, after seeing it at a quilt store when it first came out, and now have EQ7 for the Mac. I’m so happy to have it on my Mac!
11-10-2016
5:17 pm
I think I first read about it in an AQS magazine. Then my cousin raved about it.
11-10-2016
5:20 pm
About 5 years ago on one of the blogs I read.
11-10-2016
5:21 pm
I found out about EQ7 at a quilting class, the instructor had just purchased it.
11-10-2016
5:24 pm
From my mother. She uses eq for everything !!
11-10-2016
5:24 pm
It was earlier this year! One of the National sewing newsletters , I think!
Thank you.
11-10-2016
5:27 pm
I started quilting in 2010 and went to my first retreat in 2011 where one of the quilters had her laptop and was working in EQ7! I was fascinated and could see so much potential for it’s use. I got my husband to get it for me for the next Christmas and love to be able to design in it and to change up colors, re-arrange blocks, etc.
11-10-2016
5:28 pm
Heard about EQ from a quilt teacher.
11-10-2016
5:28 pm
I’ve had EQ since the first unnumbered edition! I’ve kept updating but have not yet had time to learn the newest version. Maybe now that I’m retired!
11-10-2016
5:31 pm
I cannot remember exactly where or when I first heard of EQ. I know it was quite awhile ago, because my late husband purchased EQ5 for me for Christmas after searching all over for it. I have loved using it since then and so has everyone else who has seen it!
11-10-2016
5:32 pm
This is the first time I have heard of Electric Quilt.
11-10-2016
5:33 pm
I heard about it on Facebook.
11-10-2016
5:34 pm
I heard about your EQ on a fb posting and though it was fantastic – bought EQ7 – and now learning it bit by bit. Thanks for producing EQ for all us sewers and designers and us artists to play with and help us produce our treasures
11-10-2016
5:35 pm
I first heard about EQ in a magazine ad. I did some research and bought EQ5. I love it.
11-10-2016
5:40 pm
I first bought EQ for DOS (pre-Windows version) in the early 90′s and am currently using EQ7. At this point I don’t remember when or how I heard of it.
11-10-2016
5:40 pm
I have EQ 4.
11-10-2016
5:40 pm
I had EQ4 and that was so long ago that I don’t remember where I found out about EQ.
11-10-2016
5:42 pm
oh I think I heard about it back in 2010 or 2011 – there were a few bloggers that I follow talking about it and showing designs that they had made with EQ7 – so I had to put it on my wishlist for my birthday in 2012 and I was so lucky that my family bought it for me
11-10-2016
5:42 pm
I first heard of EQ when I attended my very first quilt show in Paducah. They were one of the venders and I bought it while I was there. I want to say it was back in 1992. I’ve bought every version/upgrade since! I love it!!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful product!
11-10-2016
5:46 pm
I read about it years ago on a blog, bought it immediately
11-10-2016
5:49 pm
The fabric looks beautiful! I’d love to make a wall hanging to brighten up a room.
Thank you for the chance to win!
11-10-2016
5:49 pm
I think I must have seen it advertised in a quilting magazine about 2005 or so. I was already trying to use Word or Excel to draw quilts – or at least plan them – so the idea of real software was exciting. I still love using it; if only I had time to make all the quilts I design!
11-10-2016
5:51 pm
I learned abouit EQ many years ago. I really don’t remember when or how. I have never known someone who owns the software so I can learn about it or it’s results. I am not familiar with what it does and how it works. I would like to design a quilt for my husband but… I don;t know if EQ could help me. Basically, I’ve heard it exists for designing quilts and that’s it.
11-10-2016
5:53 pm
I first heard about EQ7 on a quilters blog. I thought it was a great way to plan a quilt.
11-10-2016
5:54 pm
I purchased EQ 7 already because I wanted to make custom quilts without the hassle of all that math! Ive taught myself and so far made 10 quilts! My current project is a memory quilt for my aunt and so far every block has been perfect! I would love to win another software for my quilt group though!
11-10-2016
5:56 pm

11-10-2016
5:59 pm
I have used Electric Quilt since 1999. I am a longarm quilter busy working on customer quilts but when I have time to work on my own quilts I make good use of EQ7.
11-10-2016
6:06 pm
I first heard about EQ about 15 years ago when I started taking quilting classes at Bernina World of Sewing in Raleigh NC. I always wanted to try it, but was not able to afford it at the time.
11-10-2016
6:09 pm
My sister in law introduced me to several years ago. We spent many hours designing quilts. Still have all the patterns but no quilts yet.

11-10-2016

11-10-2016
6:17 pm
I first encountered Electric Quilt in 2007, while undergoing treatment for Multiple Myeloma. Working on virtual quilts distracted me from the rigors of chemotherapy and my sim cell transplant. Too weak to work on actual quilts, I could enjoy the visual experience. I just upgraded to EQ7 on my MAC. I have been in remission for almost 10 years and looking forward to more actual quilts.
11-10-2016
6:20 pm
Started quilting in 2005 and bought the software(EQ5) shortly after. I do not remember how I learned about it but i Have since upgraded to eq6 and Eq7 and this year EQStitch. I love the program.

11-10-2016
6:34 pm
I heard about EQ from a friend who had been using it for a few years, I bought and started using it when EQ7 came out, I’m still learning how to use it as I don’t have a lot of time to play and learn how to use it, but I have enjoyed using it.

6:36 pm
First heard about the EQ design software in this week’s Timeless Treasures email.
11-10-2016
6:38 pm
I first heard about EQ5 from a quilting magazine that I was reading in 2005. I mentioned it to my husband in passing and bless him, I got it as a Christmas present, how he knew where to get it is beyond me. He said it was probably the first time I screamed with delight when I opened my present. I absolutely love EQ products and use them all the time, even my kids love “playing” with ideas in regards to the ease of swapping out fabric options. Thank you!
11-10-2016

I really don’t remember how I learned about EQ. It was probably about 2 decades ago. There might have been discussion on a quilting email list I belonged to. I might have seen something on a TV show. I have vague memories of seeing Penny McMorris on TV show, but no idea which one. I became an EQ user/owner much more recently.

I was introduced to EQ4 by my sister. I had seen quilt programs while I was at the Quilt show in Tokyo in 2002. Decided then that we needed to try both companies. I purchased QuiltPro3 and she took EQ. I wasn’t happy with QuiltPro, when I had the chance to change and upgrade my computer, I went to EQ. Been here ever since. I like the ability to blend blocks to fit my need. I think
11-10-2016

11-10-2016

11-10-2016
8:38 pm
I learned about EQ7 accidentally when checking out my emails. I didn’t know there was this type of program. I hope to get it when I can fit it in my budget. It would really help me when I’m trying to redesign some quilt patterns and resizing them.
11-10-2016
8:41 pm
I started using EQ4 on my Mac many years ago using using Windows/Parallels to make it work. It was a really difficult and I got lost in Windowland many times. Support for EQ was wonderful and got me out of many predicaments. The EQ part was easy…Windowland was not and Parallels made it even more difficult. The sun finally came out when EQ would work with the MAC…away went Windows and Parallels and my life with EQ was now a breeze. Thank you, EQ!
11-10-2016
8:42 pm
I think that I heard about EQ 3 long ago in an article or ad in Quilters Newsletter. I wanted to resize and recolor blocks and quilts. I just wish I could play more often

11-10-2016
8:45 pm
I saw EQ5 in the Nancy’s Notion catalog and thought about getting it. It wasn’t until members of my quilt guild told me how they used EQ that I decided to buy EQ7 for myself. We have a users group that meets at a local quilt shop, That’s Sew Debbie.
11-10-2016
8:47 pm
I learned of EQ7 from friends in a quilt guild. I received it as a birthday gift from my family in 2014.
11-10-2016
8:47 pm

11-10-2016
8:47 pm
I remember wanting to purchase EQ5, but it wasn’t in my budget…I learned about it at a local quilt shop. Years later, I was finally able to make the purchase…and now I can’t live without my EQ7 and add-ons!
11-10-2016
8:47 pm
I have used a program similar to this. I would love to use a newer ersion.
11-10-2016
8:48 pm
I learned about EQ when I was using a rival quilt software program years ago. Loved all the EQ challenges and vibrant community which was lacking with my software. Then I bought the Barbra Brackman book on state blocks with a mini EQ CD. That sold me and I converted. Also loved how the flags on the EQ6 box spelled out Electric Quilt!

11-10-2016

11-10-2016

11-10-2016

11-10-2016

Wow, that’s going back a long way! I think it was the very first edition of EQ, and it might have been at Road to California, way back. It seemed like a lot of people were buying it, or QuiltSoft, and I sat at booths looking at both, but didn’t have the money to buy either one. I still don’t. =) Thanks for the giveaway.

A few years ago from a quilting magazine.
11-10-2016
9:28 pm
I first saw it on a quilting show several years ago. I then saw it mentioned in a quilting blog and became intrigued enough to look up your website. I’m so glad I did! I bought EQ7 and have really enjoyed using it. I’m still learning how to do things and have yet to discover the full potential of the software, but I really love it and design quilts all the time. Thank you!
11-10-2016

I heard about EQ 3-4 years ago but was doing more machine embroidery at that time. Saw it demo’ed at a local quilt show. Great product!
11-10-2016
9:52 pm
About two years ago, while watching a quilting show on T.V. A guest used your software, which, of course, sparked a “HOW COOL IS THAT!” reaction.
11-10-2016
9:52 pm
My fellow guild member turned me on to EQ7 in 2009..Glad she did..
11-10-2016
9:54 pm
Years ago at a quilt show. I’ve been a Mac user for more years than that and just had to wait for a Mac version. (Thank You!)
11-10-2016
9:54 pm
I first saw the program many years ago on a TV quilting show with Penny McMorris. I believe I started with EQ2 and now am using EQ7 and going to give lesson to my quilting group early next year.
11-10-2016
9:54 pm
I love to quilt and design quilts. EQ7 seemed like a perfect fit. My husband bought it for me for Christmas and I have enjoyed it ever since.
11-10-2016
9:58 pm
I was a quilt shop owner for a few years and one of our regular customers brought it to our attention…..we’ve been hooked ever since!
11-10-2016
9:59 pm
Someone I met at a quilting retreat in March was using it.
11-10-2016
10:00 pm
Saw in magazines and in the e-mail. Have thought about purchasing it.
11-10-2016

I think the first time I saw anything about HQ would be on the internet.
11-10-2016

The first time I heard any thing about EQ would be on the internet
11-10-2016

11-10-2016
10:05 pm
My friend had EQ in 1999 and we took a class at the NQA show in Omaha so we could work on projects together. Then she moved overseas and so now I bought my own, took another class!
11-10-2016
10:05 pm
I don’t remember exactly when, but I started out on EQ4. I think I saw it first in a quilt magazine.
11-10-2016
10:06 pm
I heard about EQ from my local quilt shop several years ago. They had an EQ6 club. It’s now time for an EQ7 club.
11-10-2016
10:07 pm
I first heard about, ( and saw it demonstrated) at the Sydney Quilt Show, many years ago, when it first came onto the market. Although I didn’t buy it then, It was something I was always interested in, and now I have the EQ7 version.
11-10-2016
10:08 pm
I think I saw it in a quilting magazine several years ago. I was given some money for a birthday present and decided to indulge in a copy. Brilliant idea! I just love it!!
11-10-2016
10:09 pm
I originally had a no name that I purchased at a quilt show 15 years ago. It worked well, but I needed a lot more. My first purchase was EQ5 and now I use EQ7. I first heard about EQ from the quilt magazines and quilt shows. Love it!!!!
11-10-2016
10:15 pm
I first heard about EQ several years ago on a quilting blog. I couldn’t believe that a program to make quilts was available! I found it online at several sewing machine stores I check out regularly. After purchasing it I’ve found the best way for me to learn is following along page by page in the book (EQ6). I’d love to upgrade to EQ7 and buy some add-ons. It’s fun to use and love, love, love that I can scan and add my own fabrics to use in creating quilts! After all, a picture’s worth a thousand blocks!
11-10-2016
10:15 pm
there was a lady who ran a blog called SoCalGAl and she would host online quilt shows and it was there I first saw quilts made using EQ7. The bloggers would show photos of their quilts and explain how it was made, they also got a chance to win prizes as did those visiting all the blogger quilt posts.
11-10-2016
10:17 pm
I purchased eq7 several years back and eq stitch and really love both of them
11-10-2016
10:17 pm
I saw an ad in a quilt magazine and bought EQ5 and have been upgrading and adding on to EQ ever since. No more graph paper, colored pencils, and calculators!
11-10-2016
10:21 pm
I saw an ad in a quilt magazine and read about several designers using the software. I was not an early adopter since I started with EQ7.
11-10-2016
10:24 pm
I heard about EQ 3 years ago on a quilting blog.
11-10-2016

read about it on the blog and saw a cruise to alaska with a quilting theme and classes on board introducing the EQ7 software.
11-10-2016
10:27 pm
I first EQ7 a year or so ago while looking in the quilting section on Amazon.
11-10-2016
10:28 pm
I belong to an online group and a member talked about it. I was unfamiliar with EQ and looked into it. Sounded interesting and I bought it.
11-10-2016
10:32 pm
At a quilt store, around 2010. (Wife got excited and I can see why.)
11-10-2016
10:34 pm

11-10-2016

11-10-2016

I first heard of EQ7 2 years afo, on some websitss that I frequent. I would love to try it, but I just can’t afford it…. yet.
11-10-2016
10:47 pm
I heard about EQ7 when I bought my sewing machine several months ago.
11-10-2016
10:48 pm
Wow! This is a hard question because it was so long ago. I believe it was from an add in Quilter’s Newsletter in the 80′s. They may have done an article on it. I looked it up on the computer and watched videos on what it could do. I was blown away!
11-10-2016
10:48 pm
I ran across EQ software on a bloggers email post. I don’t remember who it was now – it’s been a while ago.
11-10-2016
10:57 pm
I heard about on Instagram a couple months ago.
11-10-2016

I heard about it from my sister.
11-10-2016

I heard of EQ7 through the quilt guild that I belonged to. I bought one for myself and have used it several times.
11-10-2016
11:06 pm
Back in the days of EQ5 a girlfriend bought it and I had to help her figure out how to use it. Soon after I was hooked! I love EQ and EQ7 is the best ever!
11-10-2016
11:08 pm
I kept reading about it online on different peoples websites and was very curious. My background is in software development and it seemed like a good thing to check out for designing my quilts.
11-10-2016
11:11 pm
I first heard of EQ2, from my quilter friend who had that, but she didn’t really use it, so she gave it to me, it was October 1996, in Concord Ca. I know because I still have the FLOPPY GAZETTE she gave me with the CD.
Dec 2002, I bought EQ 5 for a new computer, and have upgraded to EQ7, still love it.
11-10-2016
11:11 pm
In the spring of 2003, I hired a pair of quilt designers/teachers/authors to come to teach and give a trunk show for our local guild. They told us their story about how they got started, and noticed, in the quilt world, and how EQ was a valuable tool for them for designing and writing their patterns. I purchased EQ5 less than a year later, after I sold my gift store, bought a longarm, and started my sewing/quilting business. I upgraded with 6 & 7 and it has proved to be a very valuable tool indeed.
11-10-2016
11:15 pm
My friend bought EQ5 and showed it to me. I bought EQ6 when it came out and have upgraded to EQ7 when it was introduced.
11-10-2016
11:25 pm
I just saw it here, looks like LOTS of fun!
11-10-2016
11:29 pm
I am only just learning about your products , through my email. I would love to be able to try log cabin
11-10-2016
11:29 pm
I started out with EQ6 not totally sure where I hear/read about it but it was probably in a quilting magazine and/or a quilting show. As soon as EQ7 came out I upgraded.
11-10-2016
11:29 pm
I love these patterns and designs I love to quilt
11-10-2016
11:30 pm
I really don’t know much about it but have tried PatternJam. I’m interested in all I can learn about quilting and look through multiple websites daily. The ability to design quilts on my own using my fabric choices would be awesome.
11-10-2016
11:35 pm
Being new to quilting I have been taking lots of classes and when EQ7 class came up in my local sewing shop I enquired as to what it was and then booked into the class. Only problem was I had to wait months for my software to be ordered but I have it now and can’t wait to start using it.
11-10-2016
11:39 pm
I love to quilt and this would a dream to work with
11-10-2016
11:55 pm
My first version of EQ was EQ3, and I have had most of the versions since. I have never really learned to use it, but hoping to work at it this next year.
11-10-2016
11:58 pm
I did some research approx a year ago. So through Google.
11-11-2016
12:01 am
(I did this once tonight, but don’t think it went through. My first experience was with EQ3, but never have really learned very much about any version of EQ, and I am up to EQ7. It is my wish to do some online lessons and get where I can use it comfortably.
11-11-2016
12:02 am
I saw EQ4 demonstrated at a large quilt show I attended. Then I saw it again at my local quilt store. I decided to buy it and I’ve bought each upgrade since.
11-11-2016
12:07 am
Looking forward to making more quilts with EQ7
11-11-2016

11-11-2016

So long ago I can’t remember. Probably in a magazine or at my local quilt shop and guild. I think I was on a regular email list or aol chat group.
11-11-2016

in Illinois by Barb, bought it and continued to update until and with EQ7. Very Happy!!

11-11-2016
12:19 am
In the 90s, I read about EQ in Quilter’s Newsletter. When I finally got a computer for my home, I got EQ5. I’m on EQ7 now and love it. I can’t imagine designing a quilt without it.
11-11-2016

7 years ago on the web, when I started learning quilting

11-11-2016

When I retired and started to quilt, I read a review of EQ5 and purchased it. I subsequently upgraded to EQ6 and then EQ7. I find EQ very easy to use and very helpful.
11-11-2016
2:03 am
I purchased my EQ7 before I retired. I think I watched a TV quilting program that showed what EQ7 could do to make quilting easier and more fun. I was promptly sold on it and purchased it soon after. I only used it like a color book at first but now some of us in Westside Quilters Guild in Hillsboro, Oregon, are getting together monthly to learn and practice more of the features. We love it.
11-11-2016
2:21 am
I don’t remember exactly when, but I heard about EQ from a magazine article a few years back. The first version I purchased was EQ6 and I’ve since upgraded to EQ7. Love it!

At a quilt shop in Tracy that is now closed, was taking classes there on the EQ software.
So sad to see shop close!
11-11-2016

Too long ago to remember; probably in a quilting magazine. I started with EQ5 and now use EQ7 daily.
11-11-2016

11-11-2016
4:01 am
I heard about the EQ design software in a newsletter by one of the blogs I’m reading, but I dont’t know anymore which one that was.
11-11-2016
4:09 am
It was back in the late ’90′s before retirement. I remember seeing EQ ads in the back of quilting magazines and it seemed like it would be a wonderful addition to my software collection. I believe by first addition was 4 and have updated ever since.
11-11-2016
6:09 am
My friend, who taught me how to quilt introduced me to EQ about 6 years ago. Thanks for the chance to win.
11-11-2016
6:20 am
I believe I saw it in one of the quilt magazines I subscribe. I have always admired those who put together incredible designs and started to wonder if I could do the same. When I learned everything that EQ7 could do, it was love at first sight. ❤️
11-11-2016
6:23 am
My sister’s mother in law wanted one of the early additions of EQ & did not know where to get it. Since my sister lived in Perrysburg Ohio just north of Bowling Green she just drove over to the EQ office & walked in asking to buy it for her. That was long before EQ was selling direct & they had no idea how to sell it to her. They figured that out eventually & she left making her mother in law a happy quilter.
11-11-2016
6:24 am
I have no idea when I first heard about EQ software but I started with EQ 4 have upgraded several times Now I am using EQ7.

At least four-five years ago, On Ebay! my EQ journey began with the Dear Jane quilt, which I first saw while browsing online. I bought a used edition of EQ5, some helpful instruction books and got hooked. It wasn’t long before I headed to my local quilt shop for EQ7!
11-11-2016
6:44 am
Love to see Electric quilt.
11-11-2016

I Started with Quilt Design Wizard on an xp computer using a windows 10 now EQ7 would really help get my 2nd quilt out of the boxes an on the cutting mat to begin construction
11-11-2016
6:57 am
I had another brand of design software which I struggled with. On reading about Electric Quilt in “Quilters’ Newsletter Magazine” I decided it would have to be easier and so I purchased it some years ago . I have since upgraded and now have EQ7. I like the programme immensely .
11-11-2016
7:06 am
I do remember! It was in Paducah in the 80′s at the quilt show where it was being demoed. Can’t recall if it was EQ3 or 4. Have bought the upgrades ever since. Love it!!
11-11-2016

I started with EQ7 about 2 months ago and I am absolutely thrilled with what it can do. I am working on a baby quilt that I designed on EQ7 and can’t wait to see it finished. What an amazing program that just allows so much creativity!!! Love, love, love it and would recommend every quilter purchase this program.

I hear about EQ from my quilting mentor. It is on my wish list
11-11-2016

I don’t remember When I heard about EQ7, because I’d been a happy quilter since EQ5! As each upgrade came out, I knew I had to have it!
11-11-2016
8:07 am
I began with EQ4 which I purchased at a Quilt Show. I now have EQ5 which I have had for a long time and looking forward to upgrading to EQ7!

I think I mostly likely saw an ad for EQ somewhere. My kids were babies then and they are not now, so alot had definately been over 15 years. Thank you and good luck everyone!
11-11-2016

Thank you for your generosity. The Dominicana fabric is beautiful!!! I work in a quilt shop and they sell the EQ7 there.

11-11-2016
8:25 am
I learned about EQ from an email. I would b excited to purchase one and learn how to use it.
11-11-2016

I heard about EQ in a local quilt class about the time EQ4 was out. I have used it to design many quilts, some of which have been published in national magazines.
11-11-2016
8:46 am
I do not remember the year I learned about EQ. I got EQ6 and then we changed our household to MAC computers, so I have not been able to use the program in years. I have been seeing some wonderful things quilters have done using EQ7…very inspiring.
11-11-2016
8:52 am
I first heard about EQ from the owner of a local quilt shop.
11-11-2016

On the Timeless Treasures website. Now I’m very intrigued!!

My mom showed it to me online. I am as new to quilting as it gets (I justed helped with my first quilt).
11-11-2016

Honestly, I don’t know that much about EQ but maybe first heard about it back in 2010 when a friend opened a quilt store! This makes me want to check into it more:)
11-11-2016
9:07 am
One of our guild members! She teaches our ‘twisted mystery’ BOM and makes the patterns in EQ7, and the pattern is so intricate and lovely! She also goes through EQ7 tutorials for 2 hours/month after twisted mystery for anyone interested. She does this all at no charge. She is so very generous with her time!!! She will get this prize if I am chosen.
11-11-2016
9:17 am
I heard about EQ from a sewing machine dealer and friends back in 2002. At that time I purchased EQ4 and have updating ever since I now have EQ7 and just purchased EQ Stitch. I have also purchased many additional cd’s such as quiltmaker vol 1. Thanks for a chance to win.
11-11-2016
9:22 am
Years ago a friend of mine sang EQ’s praises. I was just starting out as a quilter and bought the software. Lately I’ve heard a lot of buzz about the latest EQ software, and I’m very much interested in it!
11-11-2016
9:26 am
I have had the design wizard for years, purchased after seeing in online. It has been a very helpful tool for size planning and fabric yardage expectations. I do all my designing on graph paper; maybe it is time to consider an upgrade, now that I can see how the EQ7 works!
11-11-2016
9:27 am
Not sure when or where I heard about EQ software. I know I’ve been enjoying it for along time.

My sister found EQ1 and gave me the program. As I recall, it was on a 3 1/2″ floppy. You’ve come a long way baby! I’m using EQ5 now, and just recently finished a “Star of Bethlehem” quilt. It wouldn’t have turned out nearly as good if I couldn’t play with the design and fabric colors with EQ!
11-11-2016

When I retired and started quilting looked for an efficient way to design patterns. EQ Design really helped with getting the ideas out of my head and onto paper.
11-11-2016
10:06 am
The I first heard about EQ5 at a quilt meeting. One if the participants was demonstrating how to print the paper piecing directions for Dear Jane.
11-11-2016
10:14 am
I first heard about it in a quilting class. The instructor used the software and showed us all the great details you could print out to help with construction after you had a design put together. Now I find there is so much more too it and enjoy learning more!
11-11-2016
10:20 am
First saw an advertisement in McCalls Quilting magazine.

Thank you so much for the chance to win either of these fabulous gifts. Have a great weekend and many blessings to you.
11-11-2016

I first learned of EQ7 (and it was probably an earlier version) at a quilt retreat in 2002 or ’04. I’m so glad I was able to take an in-depth, hands-on class on EQ7 by an experienced quilt designer. I love it!
11-11-2016
10:39 am
I don’t remember precisely how I first heard about Electric Quilter. I was forced to retire because of health problems and needed to find something to fill my time that was both a sitting down activity and one that would engage my intellect. In the beginning I was purchasing various quilting magazines off the rack to discover which one(s)would be both stimulating and instructive. After some research I ordered EQ7 and later Stitch. I am quite pleased with my purchases! I enjoy all they offer during the process of creating the “next” project. Being able to scan in the fabrics I want to use is brilliant! Stitch allows me to see audition the embroidery ideas I have in my head. EQ support is the best of any support I have ever used! Five stars are not enough to express how I feel about EQ7.

First heard about EQ shortly after it first came out at my local quilt shop. Then a few years later one of the ladies wrote a book on how to use EQ Software. I’ve never been able to afford it on a limited income. I just look at it and drool over it when I see what it can do! One day hopefully. Thank you for the opportunity!

A salesperson at a Viking store within Joann Fabrics mentioned it several years ago, and then I got an e-Mail offer to purchase it. Thought, why not try it?

I was looking for a way to design quilt blocks with software. I had been using Adobe Illustrator because I already knew how to use that, but it was tedious. So I did a search for quilt design software and was delighted to find EQ! This was last year. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it before that!

I don’t remember when I first heard about Electric Quilt but I know that I started with EQ5 and have happily and excitedly updated to each new version as it was introduced.

I have no idea where or how I heard about EQ, but the minute I learned of its existence, I knew I needed to get. Just wish I had more time to play with it.

About 5 years ago; I probably saw it in a quilting magazine. I really wanted it for a while, and got it as a birthday gift

I saw Penny demonstrated the beta version of EQ at the Apr.27-30,1995 AQS convention in Paducah. I was really excited about it but thought about it overnight and ordered it the day after I saw it, before the convention was over.

A quilting friend of my wife asked my opinion of EQ3. At the time i was helping Lynda with her cutting and not involved in quilting more than that. I looked into the EQ3, ended up buying it, and have been an enthusiastic EQ user ever since. And, have graduated from cutting assistant to quilter in the process.rmc

11-11-2016
5:32 pm
Good afternoon! I’m from Russia. I learned about the program this fall at one of the patchwork festivals. I was impressed by the opportunity to create your own quilts, choose fabrics and printed patterns. I decided to study the program and now I’m in an online school.

It’s been too many decades ago for me to possibly remember how I first heard about Electric Quilt software. I believe I’ve had every version since EQ2. Each time I update, I think it can’t get any better than this, and that this will be the last version I ever buy. But when the next version is announced, there are so many great new things, I always end up buying it. Thanks so much for providing this software, and thank you also for letting us continue to upgrade to the next version at an affordable price.

Just over a year ago. I was learning how to quilt and doing a Google search I came across a link to your product. After some research I realized it was a superior product and purchased it…I have not looked back. I love it and being a computer guy, it fits me to a T!
Happy Anniversary EQ!

My son bought me Quilt Wizard, as a basic quilt design program. When I went to register the program, I found Electric Quilt has discontinued that product. Was a toss up between EQ Mini and EQ7 for a few months. EQ7 won out and I won’t trade it for anything else. I have since added EQ Stitch and loved it too.
11-11-2016
7:28 pm
I read about EQ in a quilt magazine in the mid 90′s. That was when it was just EQ with no numbers and came with a notebook in a grey box and ran on DOS. I have had many hours of fun and upgrading as later version were offered.
11-11-2016
7:34 pm
I don’t remember when, exactly, but the HOW was a lady who worked for the same company as my husband.
11-11-2016

I think the first EQ I used was EQ3…I believe I saw it at my local quilt shop? I was just starting to become a techie wannabe! I love using the program. The Tech support is awesome. The program enhancements have been awesome….Thank you so much EQ! I wish I had a sewing machine that would use the EQ Stitch program.

11-11-2016

I’ve heard about it from several places all about the same time. I went to a quilt fair and heard another quilter talking about using EQ. Then a friend of mine entered a giveaway and won EQ. One of the people whose blog I follow talked about using EQ to design their own blocks.
11-11-2016

I don’t remember where or exactly when I heard about EQ but I still have the nice notebook for my #1 EQ and I have updated with #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and EQ7 and many of the supporting books and programs. EQ is a great investment.
11-11-2016

11-11-2016

I have been using EQ7 for about 4 years. I kept hearing ads that said, “Do you EQ?” so I looked into it to find out what they were talking about! lol
11-11-2016
10:17 pm
Having sewn for more years than I care to remember, I was introduced to quilting by a friend, who showed me the basics. Shortly afterwards I moved to a small town. No quilt shop, or quilting group etc and local bookshop did not stock any books or magazines on quilting. In desperation I tried the internet and among other things I read about EQ. I persuaded my husband that I really needed this and managed to get a copy at a show I visited whilst on holiday. Think it was EQ4 or 5. I was so happy as I could now design and make my own ideas etc. I have since upgraded to EQ7 and stitch. Would not be without it!!
11-11-2016

I can’t remember when I first heard of Electrc Quilt! LOVE the software, though!

I first heard about it when my friend’s son – who was a computer geek at the time – tried to tell his Mom about it. He was trying to ‘teach old dogs new tricks’ LOL. But we have become more computer-savvy since those early days.

10:40 pm
Wow, when did I first learn about EQ? I can not tell you except that the first one I bought was EQ3 ( I think!) I did watch Penny on PBS years (and yeats@) ago and was always impressed with her vision of making the quilt. I suppose I kept noticing and remembering her name as I would read all the quilting magazines I could get. I LOVE my EQ!
11-11-2016

11-11-2016
11:36 pm
I heard about EQ many years ago from members of my guild. A few years ago, Barb Vlack visited the guild and I got to take an introductory workshop. Loved it! I own a copy of the program and it’s so much fun to design and redesign quilts with it.

I have been using EQ for many years. My first was EQ5. Loved it and got upgrades each time they came out. Love the new improvements to each upgrade. I have been quilting for sometime now and it really is a blessing when you are designing a quilt. I first heard about EQ from a Quilting magazine, and decided I had to have it.
11-12-2016
8:54 am
I was searching online for a software for designing quilts, as trying to do it in Excel was tedious! I bought the Electric Quilt Wizard (now discontinued) to see if I liked it. I would love the full program!
11-12-2016
9:12 am
First heard of EQ way back when a quilting show first came on the interest. Must have been EQ 3 or so. Have used it ever since!
11-12-2016
9:13 am
EQ5 had just come out when I started quilting. I took a class at a shop where the teacher had designed the class project in EQ5. She recommended it, but I waited a few more months until she taught an introductory class on how to use the software at our regional quilt show. I had so much fun designing with EQ5 that I bought it that day.
Of course, I had to have the newest product, so I upgraded as soon as the next product was available. I can spend hours tweaking designs and playing with color options!
11-12-2016
9:29 am
I first learned about EQ quilting program when it was advertised as the EQ4 version in the Quilters’ News Letter magazine. I bought EQ4 and I have loved EQ ever since. I’ve even inspired a few of my friends to purchase and use EQ6 & EQ7 versions.

11-12-2016

I think I first heard about EQ software when EQ 5 had been released and I probably read about it in a quilt magazine ad. I didn’t purchase one until EQ 6 came out and I have upgraded since then. I’m a longtime fan of the software.
11-12-2016

I’ve been using EQ for years! I love it for planning quilts and it was great for creating a paper piecing template.
11-12-2016
1:44 pm
It was quite a few years ago. I was searching on line fabric businesses and ran across EQ software. Went to your website and compared the software and peoples comments and selected to purchase EQ6 & also the EQ7 upgrade. I have used it many times and is a great help. Hope to someday take some classes regarding designing my own quilt patterns.
11-12-2016
1:47 pm
I hadve been using EQ for a few years. I would say I first saw something about online and liked what I saw, so purchased. I love it for designing quilts and being able to print out the components in the right size.

9:53 pm
Gosh, many years ago. I guess when EQ4 had been out a while. I have it still, but the computer it had been downloaded to got virused and that version was not available for upgrade by then. It came to my attention originally as an offer in a craft book club.
11-12-2016
10:20 pm
Saw it in a mag many years ago
11-12-2016
10:49 pm
I heard about EQ during the Bernina Club meeting at the local quilt shop. Most of the quilters owned a version of the EQ and raved about how good it was. I do not own one at this time but would definitely love to have one.
11-12-2016
10:58 pm
I learned about EQ from quilting blogs (like Beaquilter) on the internet.
11-12-2016
11:07 pm
I over heard a lady talking about EQ7 at my very first quilt class about 4 years ago.
11-12-2016

I first saw EQ online on their website. I had a simpler version of design software, but was really interested in EQ.
11-12-2016
11:16 pm
I bought the electric quilt 5 at a quilting sale at someone’s house. I have used it on my computer. I would love to win the electric quilt 7 and the bundle of fabric.
11-12-2016

I have had EQ since EQ4 and have loved every upgrade. It is the ultimate tool.

I guess I read about EQ in a quilt magazine. At that time working took up most of my time.
11-13-2016
12:57 am
Many years ago (15+) my mom bought me EQ4 as a gift. I was instantly in love with the program and could not imagine my quilting life without it.
11-13-2016
1:07 am
Around 2005 when I worked in a sewing Gallery. And was introduced to computerized sewing machines, embroidery, and so many more innovations in technologies related to sewing.
11-13-2016
1:30 am
It was many years ago when I learned about EQ. My sister had an early version. I believe I have 4 or 5 (out of town without my computer). I still love it, but would really like a new version.
11-13-2016
2:00 am
First learned about EQ software from a friend years ago.
11-13-2016
2:22 am
I first heard about EQ7 on the Yahoo group, so I had to find it and see all the things it could do. Now I would not be without it, I design all my quilts on it.
11-13-2016
5:47 am
I heard about it from a quilting friend. I’m learning but would love to take the class in Ohio. Hopefully will be able to get there next year.
11-13-2016
6:27 am
It is my recollection that I first heard about EQ while watching an episode of ‘Quilting Arts’. But since my first purchase of EQ software goes back to EQ2, please forgive me if I cannot recall the exact date.
11-13-2016
6:30 am
I saw the ads in quilting magazine’s.
11-13-2016

I won the EQ5 on the first year that Quilt Across Texas happened. Wonderful exciting prize to win because I had been interested in learning this wonderful software, now with EQ7 and EQstitch I can really go far with my quilting. Love it, teachers are awesome to learn from! Took my classes this past Houston International Quilt Festival and planning the April academy 2017 in Ohio to learn more!

9:19 am
When my grandmother passed away, I inherited all of her sewing and quilting machines and supplies. I made my first quilt using instructions from a beginner’s book I found in her belongings. I loved it. It was in 2005 I visited my first quilt shop: The Dakota Quilt Shop in Spearfish South Dakota; and it was they who introduced me to the latest software: Electric Quilt. I learned I could come up with my own designs and immediately I put it on my Christmas list every year thereafter. (Being a non-traditional student at the time I could not afford it by myself.)
It was not until I began working on my Masters degree in Omaha, Nebraska, that I finally received the latest version Electric Quilt 6. Now I am here to not only upgrade to Electric Quilt 7, but I need to convert it to the Mac Book (iOs) language!!!!
11-13-2016
9:26 am
I think I first heard about it from Simply Quilts. At that time, there was other companies in quilting software before EQ pulled ahead.
11-13-2016
9:47 am
I started with the old DOS version of EQ, sometime in the last half of the 1980′s. I learned about it from a quilting magazine most likely.
11-13-2016
10:00 am
a few years ago when I really got into quilting I read about it in quilting magazines and then checked it out online.
11-13-2016
10:05 am
I first learned about EQ years ago when I purchased EQ6 and then upgraded to EQ7. I still don’t know all the ins and outs of the software and now have two books to help me. I just wish I had more time to learn it.
11-13-2016
10:20 am
I followed a link on a blog about a year ago. A friend gifted me an old unopened version of EQ6 she bought for her mother but she never used. Once I install on my computer I hope to learn a couple of things before I plan to upgrade. I love quilting and am quite new to it so hopefully some of the visions in my head can be created.
11-13-2016
10:37 am
I saw a demonstration and I bought EQ3 (I am not sure the version) at a craft show in Toronto, Canada a long time ago and I have been upgrading since then. Thank you.

Whenever #EQ2 came out, as that was the first version I bought.
11-13-2016

11-13-2016
8:50 pm
I first saw Electric Quilt in a magazine a few years ago but I never really understood it. This year I truly learnt EQ’s capabilities and how fantastic EQ is and such a necessity for quilters from a wonderful new friend I made from a quilting blog. I would love to own this software but have had to put it off due to its cost. Fingers crossed I will be able to get my savings in order after Christmas and finally purchase it. So I guess it was this year when I truly l learnt about EQ and how wonderful it is

I recall seeing Penny McMorris demonstrate Electric Quilt on the American Quilt show way back in 1991, and I was fascinated by it. But I had a new baby, and I wasn’t quilting much then. Since I bought version two I’ve upgraded every time and now have EQ Stitch. You’ve come a long way, baby!
11-13-2016
11:36 pm
i heard from my mom
11-14-2016
12:16 am
Several ladies at my local quilt guild suggested I take a look at this because they knew I was very much ‘into’ computers. Most of my business career has been spent in the software industry so it is natural to combine quilting software with my physical quilting. I now own all the EQ7 accessory software and I’m looking to buy the Embroidery. It’s fun and exciting to design, to play with virtual quilts, especially when I’m traveling and can’t take my quilting with me. I love the creativity EQ7 brings out with the various software packages that augment the EQ7.

11-14-2016
9:38 am
I belong to a guild which brings in 7-8 speakers a year. Most of. The speakers said that used Eq to design their patterns. Kimberly Einmo sold me on the software, and I have been exploring the many possibilities of the program. I found that patti anderson’s book, Pieced drawing, was a helpful tool.
11-14-2016
10:02 am
I’d tried another online quilt program before EQ7 – so glad I saw a demo at a quilt retreat in 2004(?). Even better, I had the opportunity to take a class. I love EQ7! (I’m getting a new computer, so probably need to get a new disc – hope I win!!!)

11-14-2016
6:13 pm
I first learned about EQ7 software while researching quilting programs in 2014. I requested the pamphlet to be sent to me and since then I have wished and have asked my fairy godmother(need one of the latter too)if she could possibly see her way to granting me my wish. So far, she has not. I have a feeling if I had wished for a prince instead, that would have been easier to grant! LOL!
11-14-2016
7:05 pm

11-15-2016
12:27 pm
I found it during a research among lots of websites some years ago. My first version was EQ6
11-15-2016
12:29 pm
I don’t remember how I heard about EQ but I have owned EQ since version 5 first came out. I have versions 5, 6, and 7. I really enjoy designing my quilts in EQ. I have also scanned in my own fabric to use when making a quilt.
11-15-2016
12:58 pm
The first time I heard about the EQ7 was in YouTube. It was something I was looking for and I love it.
11-15-2016

I first heard of EQ3 I think at Quilt Canada, years ago. I bought EQ4 when it came out, and now EQ7. I love it for paper piecing!
11-15-2016
2:21 pm
I first heard about EQ7 through an e-mail that I received. I have not purchased one (yet), but I sure am excited by how easy it is to operate and the wide range of uses that it gives. I can hardly wait to purchase one.

11-15-2016
5:33 pm
I first heard of EQ about a year ago while searching the internet for quilting software. EQ7 was the top recommended software on the market. I went right out and bought it and the rest is history! I love it!
11-15-2016
7:58 pm
I think my first EQ was 4, and it was great for learning to design my own projects, it has gotten better and better since then
11-15-2016
8:39 pm
I bought EQ3 at a local quilt shop a few years back (I don’t remember how many.)
11-15-2016
9:14 pm
I first saw it being used by another quilt shop. I was left speechless and couldn’t take my eyes off of it much less want to leave to go home. I’m sure she didn’t want me to learn everything.

11-16-2016

I was looking around online for a program like EQ7 and that she is heard about EQ7. No I did not purchased anything yet due to me having surgery on my right foot but still looking and comparing the products for what they can do not for the price.
11-16-2016

I’ve known about EQ for so long it seems like I’ve known about it FOREVER! Looking back the first book I have is from the EQ5 from some time in early 2000′s. I also have Town & Country, Star Power, Sew Precise, Blockbase and many of the Quilting Design discs. Oh, and the earliest Stash disc I have is from 2003 so that must be around when I first started with it.
11-16-2016
12:39 pm
Our guild had a lecture on EQ7 so I decided to upgrade
11-16-2016
12:57 pm
I first heard about electric Quilt a year ago when my sister asked me to make a quilt for her after she got married. I started searching for ideas on Pinterest and came across a Harry Potter paper piece quilt. I had never seen pictures like that on a quilt before and wanted to know how it was created. The answer was with EQ7 software.
11-16-2016
1:34 pm
I heard about it on various blogs and from your other giveaways.

4:39 pm
A few years back I had found a great block I wanted to use in making patriotic quilts for a special person with a dream she wanted to see fulfilled before cancer took her from us. Another lady in the group agreed with me when I showed her the block and said I hoped to tear the block down and make a foundation piecing pattern from it so all the points were, well, pointed. She smiled and said EQ7 could do it. My turn to smile and say “OK” wondering what EQ7 was. When I got the foundation print out and a copy of what a full quilt made from the block would look like, I knew EQ7, whatever it was, sure would be worth having. I read all about it online and finally saved enough to purchase my own. Now I am learning all I can on how to make the most of everything it can do and am so glad I have access to all the information available. I sure was happy to know EQ7 wasn’t a relative to ET, as the last thing I have the inclination to do is hide an alien!
11-16-2016
5:57 pm
I first heard about EQ7 during a quilt guild meeting. One of the members has often shown completed quilts that she designed using EQ7, during ‘Show and Share’.

I really don’t recall how I first learned of Electric Quilt, but I have owned and used it since EQ4.
Love the program, catch myself making more virtual quilts than real ones
11-16-2016
6:27 pm
I learned about EQ from a friend at work who told me all about her EQ. She even brought it into work to show me a project she was working on. I decided, “Whoa! I’ve got to get this!” and my fiancé got it for me for Christmas.
11-16-2016
6:27 pm
EQ5 was my introduction to EQ, which I read about in quilting magazines. I like EQ7 and use timeless treasure fabrics often. Winning this prize would be awesome!
11-16-2016
6:33 pm
I have upgraded to qu7 now just got to get busy and play some to get comfortable with the program. I plan and designing some quilts I’ve had in my mind for a while.
I see it advertised and a friend of mine has some some beautiful quilts with it.

I first ran across the name when reading a quilting blog and was fascinated that there was a software program devoted to quilt design. Took me a couple of years before I could save and afford the program, but am delighted with it so far — still learning! There is so much too it and so many possibilities.
11-16-2016
6:59 pm
I had first heard about EQ while watching a video on Etsy. I had to learn more about the software so I logged on to the EQ website. I ended up purchasing the software and I love it. I own QuiltWorks II, and have had problems learning the software. I love how easy EQ is to use and understand. I’ve designed my first quilt using EQ. It is a photo quilt of my grandson for my three year breast cancer survivor daughter’s Christmas Present this year. I have to sew on the sashing, borders, backing, and then quilt it. Thank you EQ for making it possible for a newbie to understand your software!
11-16-2016
7:07 pm
I bought EQ3 at the Houston Quilt Festival in the Electric Quilt booth a ton of years ago. I upgraded to EQ4 when they finally came out with mouse support. I also bought this at the Houston Quilt Festival. I met Alex Anderson at that show and talked with her about the fabric designer in my previous EQ. I watched Alex Anderson on her PBS Quilting show back then.
I still use EQ 4.0 for my projects on Windows7, but I would like to upgrade to the latest and greatest version.
11-16-2016
7:23 pm
Can’t remember how I found about EQ all I know is we live in CT. and I had my husband take me to Keepsake quilting in NH to look at it and purchase it . I think it was one of the first you published
11-16-2016
7:23 pm
Learned about ElectricQuilt at version 5. I love the ability to design my quilts and easily estimate yardages.
11-16-2016
7:37 pm
I first heard about Electric Quilt software from a Northcott Fabric rep who was doing a “trunk show” at a local quilt shop in Ontario Canada. She said she did all of her designs in Electric Quilt and told us about downloading the fabric samples, etc. That was it! I had to have this great software.
11-16-2016
7:49 pm
I first purchased EQ4, I believe it was. I have EQ7 now. I enjoy using it. I have a new sewing room with LOTS of room for quilting, so plan on using it even more. I can always use more FQ!!
11-16-2016
7:52 pm
I first came upon EQ3 in a quilt store. I have upgraded ever since. Love to play with it!
11-16-2016
8:03 pm
I think I first saw the ad in one of the catalogs I get. It was only for Windows back then and I only use Macs. Since I first learned quilt drafting , I draft blocks and quilts on graph paper. I finally decided that maybe I could learn to draft on the computer and print from there. Try something new!
11-16-2016

Back in 2007, when I first started quilting seriously, someone in my local quilt shop was teaching classes. As they say, the rest is history!

11-16-2016

I began with EQ5 and have upgraded each time. I now have 7 and really enjoy the projects and add ons available. I am working on a Dear Jane with your software, now.

10:18 pm
My friend, Linda, and I decided to learn to quilt together a few years ago. Linda is the researcher and she found EQ online. Then she organized a class and asked a member of our new Guild to come teach us about it. I love making English paper piecing templates from my husband’s illustrations.
11-16-2016
10:29 pm
I saw it advertised in quilting magazines many years ago. When I started listening to quilt podcasts about 5 years ago I heard some of the podcasters talking about it

I first heard about EQ at a Quilt Retreat in Calgary, Canada. One of the ladies had it on a laptop and spent many hours showing us how it worked! I was sold.

I first heard about EQ several years ago but never had time to do anything with it. When I retired from teaching, I decided to treat myself to a few surprises and EQ& was one of them. I still am having trouble finding time to play with it, especially with the holidays coming, but I will get busy with it soon.
11-16-2016

It was so long ago that EQ was in DOS-Version! Really can’t remember how many years ago that was – makes me feel really old!
11-16-2016
11:34 pm
I started with EQ5 because I love having great new tools. I am not an expert even now but it sure comes in handy for block resizing, variations and quilt design. I’m definitely still a fan.
11-16-2016
11:42 pm
I started with EQ 3 which I purchased at my first AQS show in Paducah. We’ve come a long way together.
11-17-2016
12:04 am
Living in northern NJ I was signed up for a 3 part paper piecing class in the early stages 90’s and the LQS also had EQ. I thought long and hard and bought eQ3. Supposedly no new update In sight pee owner. Well no it was due to releases EQ4 next month and no refunds…EQ however didn’t take that well and sent me with no return of the EQ3 the brand new EQ4. So I had magic and met a first class team of creative people who took care of their customers new and old. I progressed up through the new editions to EQ7 and got some of. The offshoots. I have had a busy member of years. My skills don’t match my longevity but I now have time and friends and a guild EQ Group there is hope fo me yet..

When my children were small I sought refuge in the bath room to try to get 5 minutes of “me time”.there was a craft catalogue in there which I flicked through. I saw an add fo EQ7, left the bathroom and ordered myself a copy.
11-17-2016
12:53 am
Can’t quite remember when or how I heard about EQ software – probably viewing pics in magazines – because I have so many of them. Now that designing quilts is part of my job, I would really like to shortcut the process by using EQ
11-17-2016
1:31 am
I’m don’t remember exactly, but I know it was a in a blog from a designer (or perhaps several designers) I follow.

11-17-2016
6:28 am
About 2 years ago. I was watching a blog and she mentioned that she used EQ7 to design her quilts. So, I checked it out on your website and bought it! I have yet to take the serious time to learn it, however. Perhaps a class at MQX next spring.
11-17-2016

If I remember clearly, it was on the internet that I first discovered such a program!

I was working part time at a quilt shop in 2004. I already had software for embroidery and saw the EQ software. I don’t remember which EQ it was, 3,4 or 5?
I have upgraded each time I have EQ7.

11-17-2016
9:53 am
My first use was EQ4. Love making scrap quilts
11-17-2016

10:27 am
My quilt store had Patti Carrie have a show and tell and she said she gets some of her ideas from the EQ.
My quilt store was offering a class in EQ so I signed up for the class and ordered an EQ7 for my MAC.
This teacher was not very informative – and would not let me get on the stores WiFi so I could not follow the screen on my computer. Very disappointed as I don’t know how to use my EQ7. But love Timeless Treasures fabric, so I hope I win. This contest is probably only open to USA. Looser again.
11-17-2016
10:46 am
my into to EQ was EQ6 some 5 years ago. It looked interesting and I bought it and tried to do it on my own without success. When the upgrade to EQ7 came out I bought it and then realized that I might need a class so I signed up for one at Quilt Festival. Barb Vlack was wonderful and now I can look at a pattern and create it in EQ for one of these days when I will have time to make all the quilts I would like to own.
11-17-2016
10:48 am
When I married my husband, I never heard about quilts so my sisters-in-law told as I was the only sister in law from their side of the family I should learn to quilt and they took me to the Quilt Show in Paducah KY, they were other programs for quilting and I learn as much I could from them in the demos and EQ program was superior in every thing! So I purchased it and I have been very happy ever since!!!! I love this program!!! Bravo for the whole team in EQ, Electric-Quilt company

I saw EQ on facebook just a few days ago.
11-17-2016

I was at the Houston International Quilt show and saw the software there for the very first time — about 10 years ago!
11-17-2016
11:39 am
I first learned of the EQ software from my quilting teacher who held a BOM at Hancock’s fabrics in 2001. She used it to design the blocks for our quilt. I loved the design and have continued through the years to design my own quilts. I often get stumped on how to make them work so this software would be very helpful to me. Thanks for the giveaway. Love this fabric bundle.
11-17-2016
11:50 am
A friend was telling me about upgrading from EQ6 to EQ7. It was when EQ7 first came out, but I don’t remember the year. It sounded like a great program, so I checked it out and bought it. I’ve been using it ever since fort layout and design.
11-17-2016
11:53 am
I found EQ from people at a quilt guild – back when EQ5 was popular..I have used it eversince to design and save different quilts……have made a few quilts and used it everytime I participated in ‘Row by Row’ exchanges…. I LUV MY EQ!!
11-17-2016
1:52 pm
When I first started reading quilting blogs over 8 years ago, I learned about EQ from seeing so many beautiful quilts being designed, different color options being shared…..thanks for the give always.
11-17-2016

4:02 pm
Many years ago I was looking for software to design quilts. I did searched on the internet and found a couple of programs, after checking each one out I decided on EQ (the very first edition) From that very first edition I was thrilled with the program and with each new edition I fall in love with it more, I couldn’t quilt without it. It’s the first place I go when I start a quilt and refer to it constantly as the quilting progresses. I’m so happy I found it all those years ago, the best investment I have made in a software program.
11-17-2016
5:04 pm
I can’t really remember how I found out about it but a friend lent me her copy (older version I can’t remember the number) and I found it unfriendly. Later I bought the Dear Jane version of EQ and found it very friendly so then bought version 7 and I love it.

I first heard about EQ from quilting magazines. My husband gave me EQ5 as a birthday present ages ago. I would love to upgrade to EQ7.
11-17-2016
9:33 pm
My introduction came from your site just by chance, must have been a sign . . .
11-17-2016
10:14 pm
I have had hours of fun creating in EQ5 & would be over the moon if I could upgrade to EQ7! Thank you for creating such an amazing design too for creative patching people.
11-17-2016
10:17 pm
I first saw EQ4 advertised in a quilting magazine. Then EQ5 (which I have) Now I see EQ7 in magazines and on Facebook.
11-17-2016
10:48 pm
I first heard about EQ5 just before EQ6 came out. I purchased EQ6 and now have EQ7. Love that there is patchwork software, keep up the great enhancements EQ you have devolved a great program. I still have so much to learn.
11-18-2016
12:22 am
I do not know when or what I read about the EQ it had to be in quilting magazines of which I had subscriptions. Working and quilting did not work in our home. I hope this qualifies me for the
Timeless Treasures bundle of lovely fabrics.

Have read about it for years in various quilt magazines but didn’t purchase until this year and a decision to go a step beyond graph paper. Love it!
11-18-2016
2:17 am
I can’t remember for sure. I remember seeing ads in quilting magazines, & then a friend bought the program back in around 2007. It does sound like it would be fun!
11-18-2016
6:16 am
I heard about it from a friend a few years ago and most recently purchased a copy.
11-18-2016

I read about eq in quilt magazines many years ago. I finally got eq7 about a year ago and am still discovering all it can do.

EQ5 was my introduction to EQ, which I read about in quilting magazines.

I first say eq at international quilt feastivBle in Houston TX and fell in love
11-18-2016

I don’t remember when I heard about EQ. I have had EQ7 for years and I’m still learning.
11-18-2016

I watched a demo at the International Quilt show this year. I have seen it advertised but first actual demo of software. Seems like an excellent product.
11-18-2016
10:14 am
I have been looking for a program that would help me plan my quilts from design to fabric auditions. I am in the process of starting a wedding quilt for my niece and googled quilt software. EQ7 came up. It is perfect and exactly what I am looking for! Winning this would be a dream come true!!
11-18-2016
10:34 am
I first saw EQ4 in a quilt shop at a demo and I was hooked! I now have EQ7 and wish I had more time to design quilts. Of course there is no way I can ever make all that I’ve designed in fabric, but I have made them on EQ!! Thanks for a great tool for more than just quilting. I redesigned my new kitchen on EQ also!
11-18-2016
11:26 am
at first I was hearing about EQ from some other people on blogs. I really had no clue what it was so I started to look it up on line. Some of my favorite bloggers use EQ all the time.
11-18-2016
11:33 am
hi there. I was the final winner of EQ mini with Laura of Sew so easy. I am so excited to be able to create my very own designs. I just love the program.
11-18-2016
11:42 am
I heard about from my sister.
11-18-2016

I read the quilting magazines and they talk about everything!

I received EQ3 as a Mother’s Day gift from my kids in 1995 or 1996. Funny story..it arrived and was placed inside a side door of our house that we never use. My kids kept asking how I liked the Mother’s Day gift and I tried to be nice. Finally I had to tell them I didn’t receive anything. After tracking UPS we found it had been delivered 2 1/2 weeks earlier. UPS had location of where it was placed and we found it in the side door. I have upgraded every time since. Love it! (have new email address. Previously pollyannanotes1@hotmail.com)

The patchwork club. Then he bought his home EQ7. I love this app! The exact calculation of tissue – always enough for the project. Virtual quilts – preliminary results. It is convenient to introduce the remnants of fabric from other projects – the program gives the fabric consumption. You can play with color or upload some tissue from the manufacturer’s website. The program is just super! Many thanks to the developers!
11-18-2016
1:46 pm
I have been using EQ for so many years, I don’t remember how I initially heard about it or when. I started out on EQ5 and just love EQ7 and EQ stitch. I would have to guess I read about it in a Quilting magazine, probably Quilters Newsletter.
11-18-2016
2:41 pm
First heard about it from a quilting friend. So long ago I can’t remember!
11-18-2016

At least 5 years ago. My DIL found this great computer program for putting her hand drawn quilt designs into digital form. Been loving it ever since.
11-18-2016

11-18-2016

Along time ago in a quilt magazine advertisement. Never have owned one or used one before. Sure would be a fun tool when its time to create. Thank you
11-18-2016

I honestly can’t remember when and how I heard about EQ for the first time! It feels like I’ve known about it forever. Thanks for the chance to win!

I first learned about EQ through AQS magazine. I have been eyeing the program for about a year and finally bought it about three months ago. Still learning the ins and outs. Wish I had purchased it a long time ago.
11-18-2016
6:31 pm
A quilting co-worker recommended it
11-18-2016

I wish I could remember, but I think my SIL was raving about EQ so I had to check it out for myself.
11-18-2016
7:44 pm
I’ve only been quilting since this summer, so I know that I heard about Electric Quilt earlier this year. Someone on Facebook was talking about how much she loved her EQ7 and how amazing it was. I checked out the website that day and have been in love ever since!
11-18-2016
8:04 pm
It was advertisements in quilting magazines that I first heard about EQ7. With the price of fabric it just makes sense to use this. On my wish list!
11-18-2016
8:50 pm
I have been using EQ7 for many years and can’t remember where I heard about it. I design all my quilt on EQ—I designed 25 patterns for our Surfside Quilters Guild Wounded Warrior Project. Much easier on EQ then with pen and paper.
11-18-2016
8:57 pm
I actually heard of it by entering a contest I saw on “The Giveaway Roundup”. Thanks and God bless!
11-18-2016
10:08 pm
Not sure, but I think I first heard about EQ somewhere on the Internet. I can’t even guess at when I first heard of it, but I do know that when I did, I wanted to have it!
11-19-2016

A quilt show. I talked to the salesperson and was disappointed to learn that there was no Apple version. And no real plans for one yet. Obviously this was a looong time ago!

Im a fairly new quilter. I consider myself intermediate beginner … Im homebound most of the time and needed a hobby.. I am constantly looking online at fabric, sewing, inspiration, quilting sites and videos..anything I can find really . and saw an advertisement and read reviews… Got one and have no clue how to work it despite my best efforts. I’ve had it for 6 months or so…. Any advice that does not cost 40.00 would be greatly appreciated… Thank you! .

I was introduced to EQ5 by a quilting friend. I purchased eQ7 and EQstitch and have loved it ever since. Being able to pull fabric into the design is so nice. Since I don’t have a design eye it lets me see how my choices will look before I start cutting up fabric.

I first learned of EQ years ago from a quilters magazine – think it was Quilters Newsletter and always admired it. Now since I am retired a couple of months, I bought it and am currently learning by the tutorials. Absolutely Love it! Looking forward to learning EQ and designing my quilts electronically instead of manual calculation. Thanks for a great product!

11-19-2016
2:22 pm
I heard about it on Pinterest two years ago. I’m interested in this product and hope to buy the software in the new year. I hope that the software will help me produce quilts quicker so I can get more done.

I believe one of our local quilt guild members talked about EQ many years ago. She helped me out with planning a block & from there I felt I needed the program.
11-19-2016

I initially heard about it via various on-line newsletters from Quilt Shops and bought my first EQ during a Shop Hop! I like I can add new fabric to the library that ‘talks to me’.

Redditors at r/quilting turned me on to EQ.
11-19-2016
9:25 pm
I first heard about EQ from a vendor, Rhonda White, at the 1994 Y-S Valley Quilt Guild Show. I was new to the computer and was fascinated by the program of EQ-1 . I won one and still have the neat box, but think I gave away the program when I updated to the next one. I have updated with each new update to EQ-7, but do not do much with it as I have other time obligations and do not use the computer much. It is fun to play around with it. I also have Block Base, and Liby’s Sew Precise 1&2 and 3.
I also have The Floppy Gazette, Vol 1, Number 1 trough Vol 7, Number 1. Fun to read. Now I want to teach my great granddaughter to use the program. (I expect she will be able to do it on her own.)

When? Hmmm… I think it was when EQ7 was just released. The where was through email. How did I end up with it? My Mom got if for me for my birthday I know it is capable of so much more than what I do with it, I just time to sit and play!
11-20-2016

I first heard about it through Kimberly Einmo”s website. I’ve been playing around with it for a little over a year. I’d love to take classes at some point, but if Kimberly taught something online, I’d be the first to sign up for it.
11-20-2016

A friend in Rhode Island had an early version around 2000, and said she couldn’t live without it. I was working with graph paper, and often still do, but EQ is lots of fun.

It was in 2000 that I first learned about EQ at a Denver quilt show. I bought EQ4 at that time and loved it.
Have upgraded to each newly available version since. I still keep learning new techniques and features of the software and use it for every quilt pattern and quilt I design.
11-20-2016
10:34 am
Wow, I just found my first EQ project. It was EQ5 and dated August 10 2002. Didn’t know I still had it. EQ and I have come a long way and I need to do more after the Holidays.
11-20-2016
10:35 am
I purchased EQ1 when it was first released and have upgraded ever since. I truly can’t imagine life without EQ.
Thank you.

I remember hearing about Electric Quilt back when EQ4 was released. I don’t remember the year, but I probably read about it in Quilter’s Newsletter magazine or maybe the TV show Simply Quilts.
11-20-2016

I’ve been using EQ since EQ3 and that’s way to long ago to remember how I heard about it. But I still love it just as today(EQ7) as I did then and I’m always learning more things I can do with it.

I probably heard about EQ around 2008. I had a Mac computer and could not use EQ so I bought a pc laptop and used that exclusively for EQ7. I’ve had so much fun designing quilts and trying out different color combinations over the years. I’ve recently bought a new pc with a wide monitor and now EQ looks more beautiful than ever.
11-20-2016
11:15 am
It has been many, many years, but I think I was doing the “web surfing” and just happened to find EQ on-line. It has been a love affair ever since!! Thank you so much for the help and support.

I saw it first on the accuquilt sight. I decided to look more into it so I checked out youtube; I had to have it, so I bought it. What an awesome product.

I do not remember how I heard about EQ as I have been using it for many years. It may have been from one of my quilting friends or I saw it advertised in a magazine.

About three years ago on Stichery Dickory Dock’s quilting blog. I asked Santa for the EQ program and he came through.

11-20-2016

I first saw EQ on the equilter.com website while searching for free patterns. I love opening up my in box and seeing that the latest equilter fabrics newsletter has come in. There are so many beautiful fabrics and patterns each time. I was in love and amazed the first time I tried the online equilter, though! Since then I’ve been trying to save to buy the full version for my laptop. Thank you for a chance to win it! Fingers crossed!!!
11-20-2016

I can’t remember when I first heard about EQ, but probably from a quilting magazine. I started out on EQ5 and now I am using EQ7. I enjoy EQ’s endless possibilities so much that I bought one for my sister who is a quilting instructor in Taiwan. She loves it! Thank you for such a wonderful product!
11-20-2016
12:53 pm
I saw it at a quilt show. Would love to have one.
11-20-2016

I finally had the courage to open the box and installed software. I heard about EQ7 through my Modern Quilt Guild.
Don’t have all of the “ins and outs” figured out, but it has helped with the layout of 3 quilts!
11-20-2016
12:56 pm
Penny was a guest on a PBS quilting program of which I cannot remember the name. She demonstrated this new computer software that would allow a quilter to draft their own quilt pattern designs and quilts. I contacted her, the software was being completed at the time and I purchased it when it was made available. I have always appreciated that the software was only upgraded when there were significant features to add and not just because the version was over a year old.
11-20-2016
12:57 pm
I am pretty sure I learned of EQ7 through a magazine ad. but I sure couldn’t tell you which magazine. It has been awhile.
11-20-2016

magazine ads and online reviews. started with Quilt Wizard and upgraded to EQ7 2 years ago.
11-20-2016
1:16 pm
I heard about EQ many, many years ago, and have been a customer since the software was only Electric Quilt, not any number attached. I think I heard about it on a quilt forum, back when it was dial-up to go playing on the Internet! I still have the original box and software, along with all the subsequent versions.
11-20-2016

Heard about EQ while attending the quilt show in Houston. It is a fabulous tool—
Who needs paper and pencil? Accurate!!!!!!
11-20-2016
1:24 pm
I have had several versions of eq and love it. It has helped me many times in making decisions as to what to do next or making choices as in colors and design. Or works well if a person simply needs inspiration for the next great project.
11-20-2016
1:31 pm
Think I read about it in a magazine. I’ve had EQ since EQ4. I keep upgrading and love it.
11-20-2016
1:45 pm
I’m thinking it was around 2002, although I no longer remember where I heard of it; I’d been wanting to design quilts on the computer since the early 1980s.
11-20-2016
1:46 pm
As a newcomer to quilting I spend a lot of time searching through sites and blogs trying to learn. Not sure which but one of those got me started and interested in EQ!

During my very first quilting class, someone mentioned EQ7. I seemed to be the only one in the class, who did not know the term. After class, I came home and googled your website and decided that EQ7 was for me! I purchased EQ7 and enjoy using it even though I am just a beginner and at age 75 it is a challenge, but an enjoyable one!!
11-20-2016
2:36 pm
I first learned about EQ7 from a magazine and then searched the web for more info.

I first learned about EQ while teaching a quilting class in Springfield, VA
in 1999 (I think).

Have had Electric Quilt since its first version. Way back then it may have been Penny discussing it on her show, but definitely a group of us formed to help each other with this very different method of quilt designing.

3:08 pm
I think I heard about it from Rita Fishel’s newsletter of Creations Sew Clever in Chillicothe, Ohio. I attended a workshop there on my birthday–Oct. 23, 2003–still have my notes–and purchased my copy of EQ5 on the 24th. Pretty neat birthday present. I’ve gotten both updates since then, but still loved what I created on EQ5.

Over ten years ago, via the Internet.

I discovered E Q. Many many moons ago surfing the net
11-20-2016
3:34 pm
I was standing in a patchwork shop when I overheard a lady talking about how she had designed her quilt on EQ7. I then went home and did a search on the internet and read all about the program before deciding to purchase it for myself.
11-20-2016
3:36 pm
First learned about Electric Quilt when version 5 came out, and I believe that was through one of the many quilting magazines I subscribe to.
11-20-2016
3:41 pm
It’s been such a long time since I started using EQ6! I think I probably saw it on a quilting show on tv, back when there were such things. I love EQ7 and use it for every quilt!
11-20-2016
3:48 pm
Have seen it advertised in many quilt venues, demo at Int Quilt Festival
11-20-2016
3:53 pm
I heard about EQ in a magazine ad. As soon as I saw it in a store I bought and have upgraded
as it upgraded. Have design a few quilts for my grandchildren and have helped friends design quilts.
11-20-2016
3:56 pm
Years ago at the Houston International Quilt Festival when I bought EQ5 about 2002 or 2003. I now have a MAC and need to get the MAC version.
11-20-2016
4:08 pm
I saw ads for EQ in my quilt magazine and wondered if it was something I’d use. At the time I thought no. But now as I’ve progressed as a quilter I can see a need for EQ.
11-20-2016
4:12 pm
It was a long time ago. Probably on Simply Quilts. I started with EQ4 so my memory doesn’t go back that far. I love the software, it is so versital. Plus the support from EQ staff is wonderful
11-20-2016
4:23 pm
I started with EQ4. I loved it. My husband was very supportive with me using the software.
I can’t remember where I heard of it. Maybe a quilting teacher like Billie Lauder or an advertisement.
11-20-2016
4:33 pm
I heard about EQ7 when I was in my local quilt shop signing up for a class last year and trying to imagine what the fabric would look like in the Hoopsisters “Summer Dreams” quilt that was being taught.

a friend of ours had it and i found it fascinating!
11-20-2016
5:01 pm
I learned of EQ7 from my girlfriend who is a long arm quilter. What sold me on the program was the calculation of the fabric yardages.
11-20-2016
5:06 pm
My computer junkie husband bought me EQ1(yep the very first one) as a birthday gift. I’ve been an EQ girl ever since.
11-20-2016
5:09 pm
I first heard about it from my local quilt shop back when they were still on EQ4. EQ just keeps getting better and better!
11-20-2016
5:09 pm
I heard of EQ7 from a friend and purchased first EQ5 and kept up to date and how have EQ7.
11-20-2016
5:10 pm
I first learned about EQ 10 years ago, when my quilt guild held a mini workshop night, where about 12 stations were set up in a large hall, with various quilters sharing a short demo of different techniques. Luckily for me my first stop that night was the EQ demo, well I never managed to visit the other 11 stations, I was so fascinated by EQ, that I stayed at that one station, marveling at this “NEW” concept (to me). By my next birthday, my husband knew exactly what I wanted and he made sure that I was able to purchase it. It is a great tool for so many reasons, but best of all it has allowed me to be more creative and more sure of my design ideas.
11-20-2016
5:16 pm
I heard about EQ almost 20 years ago while working at a quilt shop. I bought it from a PBS drive, then bought all the books to go with it. Would love to win a newer version.
11-20-2016
5:17 pm
I think I first heard of EQ from magazine ads. It seems like I have known about it forever. I remember drafting a pattern for my mother from I quilt I had in 1972. I used paper, pencil, a ruler, and a compass. It must have worked, because my daughter now has a quilt of the same pattern.
11-20-2016
5:20 pm
A friend had acquired EQ7 and had not used it. We talk about the programme for a while and she unformed me given the other software I owned I did not need it.
To cut a long story short> borrowed he EQ7 Manual with the intention of scanning it. But I soon realised I was reading the manual and was excited about the potential of the program. My husband brought the program for me and it has been fabulous, fantastic and gets easier to use with practice. I can also use other equipment such as ScanNcut with the program . keep up the good work.

I was very interested in multiple patterns and an ability to move pieces around. I had been working on this under my own ideas. I was in a local, Clearwater, Florida, fabric store. I was asking some questions about how to fit a few unusual designs together.
One of the Owners of the shop, Rainbows End, asked me how long I had been trying to do this “my way”. I told her that I didn’t know how else to do it, to which she replied “Boy do I have a program for you.” Hello, EQ7. I have purchased every upgrade since that date and I am still learning new ways to do what I need.
Thank you Michelle, THANK YOU EQ7!

Electric Quilt is a great program that I have been using since EQ4…but it really became my favorite program when it became part of the Apple line and you didn’t have to use Windows or Parallels to make it run. Getting lost in Windowsland was so terrible! I had manuals for manuals trying to make it work. EQ kept working on getting it to be able to be used on the Mac and finally they did it. A wonderful program became even that more special. Thank you EQ!
11-20-2016
5:45 pm
i heard about through a friend and am jut learning to use it
11-20-2016
5:55 pm
Boy are you making us think!! I started quilting in 2005 and shortly thereafter started reading about EQ through websites. Naturally I had to have it and purchased EQ5 and upgrade with each new edition. I love it!!
11-20-2016
6:22 pm
I heard about it from a teacher at my local quilt shop

I heard about this product when searching for ways do design my quilts. It was a couple months ago, and i think its pretty cool!
11-20-2016
7:03 pm
I learned about EQ while reading Benni Harper mystery’s written by Earlene Fowler.
I was on her website and there was information about the quilt and designer Fran Iverson Gonzalez, how she had used electric quilt to design the quilt called Equinox!
11-20-2016
7:15 pm
I can’t remember how I first heard about EQ. I have had a few versions and also have EQ Stitch. I am hoping to have more time to play around with these now that I have retired. I love the great support provided with this wonderful product.

7:24 pm
my first paducah quilt show I bought EQ3. I’m still using EQ
11-20-2016
7:24 pm
I was searching the internet for quilting software, many, many years ago. I read about both programs available and EQ made the most sense.
11-20-2016
7:35 pm
I learned of EQ design software on line. I had been trying to design a quilt block on draft paper, and use colored pencils to see what it would look like. I got frustrated with this, so went on line searching for a quilting computer program and found several programs on line. I looked at the reviews and bought the EQ7 program. It is fun and interesting to use, even though I have a lot to learn on using it yet.
11-20-2016
7:37 pm
I haven’t had EQ7 very long. I bought it after I had a frustrating time trying to design a quilt on graph paper. I have a lot to learn on EQ7 yet, but I enjoy it, and think it is fun to use.
11-20-2016
7:45 pm
I know for sure that I had EQ5 but can’t remember if I had anything before. I’m sure that it must have been at my local quilt shop where I first heard about EQ. I have taken about 4 classes to learn how to use the program.
11-20-2016
7:49 pm
OMG — I have no idea! I know I started with an early number maybe 2 or 3. I can remember meeting the EQ gang at the old quilt show in Lancaster. It was fun to meet the people behind the software.
11-20-2016
7:59 pm
I learned about EQ6 at a quilt show in Chicago,IL and purchased it and was hooked. Then purchased EQ7 when it came out.
11-20-2016
8:12 pm
Read about EQ via a link on either the Craftsy or Annie’s website and was thrilled to discover it existed – every attribute was either exactly what I wanted or even better than I dreamed e.g. being able to scan in my own fabric.
11-20-2016
8:26 pm
I first heard about it on the Internet shortly after EQ was introduced.
11-20-2016
8:32 pm
It has been a while since I received EQ6 for Christmas. Been using and enjoyning it to create quilt patterns and to quickly figure out the measurements of a quilt. I do enjoy watching the teaching videos to keep learning.
I hope one day to afford the upgrade to EQ7
11-20-2016
8:35 pm
First heard about it from a friend several versions (years)ago, thought it was pretty interesting. Now I am retired and have time for quilting, much better than trying to use Adobe Illustrator and graph paper to desgin.
11-20-2016
8:41 pm
I first heard about it in a conversation between some quilting friends. It sounds very interesting.
11-20-2016

I heard about the program from someone in my quilting guild about 4 or 5 years ago. It’s a bit pricey, but I finally purchased it and I love it.
11-20-2016

I can’t remember when I heard about EQ, but it was through my quilt guild. I know it was before EQ7 came out.
11-20-2016
9:54 pm
Many, many years ago! Being an IT geek I knew it was a toy which has opened up my visual side. Love what I can do with EQ!
11-20-2016
10:03 pm
I joined an online design group on FB called Quilt Design A Day (QDAD). I wanted to learn to design and after stalking them for a while (oh, stalkers are welcomed!) I decided to plunge in. I began my research, found EQ7..asked a few people for input and made the commitment to buy– however, I committed to using it everyday in the QDAD group. For a year (2014-2015) I posted a design everyday. In the beginning I posted simple designs (learning was the object of the game, right?) and gained skills and confidence day-by-day. Great way to learn! We are still going strong, so come join us!
11-20-2016
10:19 pm
I first heard of EQ when it first came out. I believe I saw a magazine advertisement for it and I bought it right away. I love it!

11:58 pm
I bought my first EQ product a very long time ago. It was the DOS version of EQ. I didn’t use it much way back then because there were not a lot of teachers to help learn how to use it. Fast forward many years and I’m still using EQ. I’ve upgraded each time there was a chance. Love all that EQ7 can do to help design quilts. I would not be as creative without it.
Thank you for all you do.

I learned about EQ about 8 years ago from fellow quilt guild members.
11-21-2016

My sister had an early version…a long time ago….and I thought it was a wonderful tool. Still love your products and sure could use a new version.
11-21-2016

I’ve had EQ for so long, I don’t remember when I first heard about it. I’ve upgraded versions numerous times.
11-21-2016
12:52 am
I’ve known about EQ for years. My kids were in school and we’d just gotten the Internet. It was dial up and slow slow slow. I’m glad we have faster internet end much better software, fabric, tools, etc. the sky is the limit for quilt design!
11-21-2016
2:45 am
I first heard of EQ 7 at the quilt classes my mother and I took. We were doing the Farmers Wife quilt about 5 years ago now.
11-21-2016
4:26 am
I think it was probably through a quilting newsgroup (rec.crafts.textiles.quilting) quite a few years ago. I don’t remember exactly when, but my first version was EQ5. I have upgraded each time since and designed and made many quilts from my EQ.
11-21-2016
4:30 am
My first EQ purchase was EQ4 way back when. I learned about it on the internet quilters on Quilting List Serves would start a thread about it. It was so exciting to have quilting software. Later I moved onto EQ5 it was more than I could imagine. Now with EQ7 I feel like I must be in Heaven. EQ hasn’t missed a step the software is just incredible! Is there anything it doesn’t do??
11-21-2016
6:36 am
Was at the Paducah quilt show in the late 80′s or early 90′s and saw the demo there. It was EQ4. I think. Been using it ever since and have done every upgrade!
11-21-2016
6:43 am
I just came across my EQ3 manual the other day. I think I had a version before that. So – it’s WAY too long ago to remember how I heard about it. I started quilting in the early 1980s after watching Penny’s PBS shows, so she’s been with me all the way. What a joy to still have a manual to hold in your hands anywhere you want to read it. With superior tech support from the beginning. I have upgraded along the way to EQ7 and never been disappointed.
11-21-2016
7:08 am
In 2008 I was visiting one of my favorite fabrics store. The manager for the sewing machine area knew I was interested in quilting and she started to talk about EQ5 or 6 at that time. I was definitely interested, so on a different day she brought her computer to show what we could do with the program. That was it! Instantly hooked! I purchased EQ5, 6, and 7. Can’t live without them….

I bought a pack of print on fabric sheets while at a quilt show. The vendor was correct, I loved the finished product. Bought a second packet through your site. Now I am curious about your software. Maybe this old dog can learn something new!
11-21-2016

I don’t remember but I started with 5. I love it.
11-21-2016

11-21-2016
2:55 pm
I first heard of EQ from a quilting show many many years ago, and can’t remember the name. The narator sewed on a Husqvarna and the EQ person had segments showing how easy it was to design & print out the pattern. I purchased EQ5, could not figure it out so never upgraded. Just wish there was a very simple basic How To EQ just to get started. Or a Craftsy class to go thru it.
11-21-2016
3:31 pm
It’s been so long ago I just don’t remember for sure. I believe my first purchase was EQ3 or EQ4. I think I saw it advertised in a magazine. I was using it to make templates for our guild’s block of the month about 20 years ago.
11-21-2016
3:50 pm
First heard about EQ so many years ago I cannot recall When! EQ 5 was the first one I heard about, and have enjoyed the anticipation with all the newer versions. THIS year, EQ 7 has graced my computer! So much to do and learn and PLAY with!

11-22-2016

I started with the first one. It had a floppy disk. Several floppy disks if I recall. Neighbor man had to install it on my computer. Then you couldn’t use the program without the floppy disks in the computer. I WAS SO EXCITED!! Living in Columbus OH then. Have followed it all the way through. LOVE MY EQ!

I was surfing the net many, many years ago and came across the EQ website link and clicked. I’ve been really happy ever since that fateful day and my first purchase of EQ! Love that you keep giving up dates for the program. Keep up the good work.

Saw EQ in a magazine several years ago. have been trying to find a quilt shop in Ontario Canada, that could give me a brief demo (with no success), so i could determine if EQ could do the things i wanted from the software package. I watched some YouTube video, and determined from the videos that EQ had a lot of features I wanted.

I first saw EQ5 on the shelf at my local quilt store. I thought it was cool, but I couldn’t afford it at the time. I save my money and went back a few weeks later and bought it. I’ve been using it ever since and upgrading as they became available. My favorite part of EQ is how easy it is to apply fabrics and change colors so that you can really see what the quilt will look like before you start it.
