I will draw the same block using both EQ8 and Design N Quilt. I read through the entire manual and decided to test out the software with a fairly simple block.
This week I downloaded a trial version of Design N Quilt - which allowed me to test everything other than export capabilities. Design N Quilt has the endorsement of Alex Anderson and claims to be the most powerful and easy to use quilting software ever made. A lot of my readers have mentioned seeing ads for the new software from Quilt Select.
