EQ8 is quilt design software, so it lets you mockup your designs using actual fabrics to see what you like before you cut anything out. It will give you accurate yardage for a quilt top as well as allow you select a block and choose to print either a rotary cutting chart, templates (with or without seam allowance) or a foundation paper piecing pattern. Because it is design software and there are so many ways to sew a block it does not provide sewing instructions. That is left up to the designer to determine how to best piece.
Hi, I see different pricing throughout the internet. What is the difference between the packages, they all look the same. What is the advantage of a cd-rom?
There is no CD-Rom available for EQ8. If the other sellers seem reputable, we’re fine with you ordering from them. The only difference will be that you’ll wait a couple days to receive the EQ8 box, which you’ll then use to claim your EQ8 download from our site, versus having immediate access to your EQ8 download. Either way, you’ll receive the same great customer service as if you purchased it directly from us. If you have any other questions please email customerservice@electricquilt.com
Thanks for this design aid. I’m working my way through a very special memorial quilt project that I believe would not be possible without EQ8.
I enjoyed your tips and that Little House in the upper left corner. I was wondering how to get back to the main screen.
Very cool software! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
curious does the projects that you design does it make out the written directions for the constructions of said top

Is there a way to get the floating Starry Path Quilt you used in this video.
I'm sorry it isn't available. You could always recreate it, though! Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are happy to help :)
