“EQ6 is GREAT! I am fairly new to quilting and am hooked. This program has made me go from following patterns in a magazine to designing myself. Who would have thought that I could do all this creating on my own. Thank you EQ6 for making it so easy to unleash my inner quilt artist.”
- Bobbie Davis, Alaska

  How does it help?

EQ6 helps develop your creativity. Combine blocks, borders and virtual fabrics, turning your computer screen into a design wall. Print quilt labels, draw original block designs, even import scanned fabric and photos. And no math needed – EQ6 calculates yardage and all pattern sizes & seam allowances.

You can see your quilt before you sew it and follow the patterns to make your masterpiece.
