If you want to design your own quilts it is nice to know what EQ8 can do. Did you know that with EQ8 you use a picture and trace it to make an applique or paper pieced block. Or use a picture to draw a block you want to make, it will even help you straighten the block to trace. I won’t remember everything little bit in the book but knowing what EQ can do, I can look it up.
