How do I use Karen Stone with EQ6?
Karen Stone installs EQ5 projects and a fabric library. There is no block library.
There is no block library because Karen rarely uses blocks set in a square set. She frequently sets blocks in paralellograms, triangles, and other settings. The Karen Stone CD installs projects, because it is important to see what context she sets the blocks in and so you also can get an accurate pattern.
If you have EQ5, these projects install into EQ5�s PJ5 folder.
If you have only EQ6, they install into the PJ6 folder.

Q: I'm doing the Indian Orange Peel, and am trying to use parts of the pattern from the book together with parts of the pattern from the software. But the pieces don't fit together. What's happening?
The book's patterns were traced directly from Karen's patterns. The software's patterns were drawn in EQ, following Karen's patterns, but made to fit the block. So to complete the Orange Peel you should use all of the pattern pieces either from the book or the software, and not mix sections from both together into the same block.
