Earlier this afternoon I posted a question about EQ5. I do not see the posting so it might be lost in "never never land". Just wanted you to know that I have solved my problem. Hope this posting comes through before anyone has spent time trying to solve my problem.

So glad you've solved it, Susan. I saw your post but I can't even spell ET5. Polly
ok, now i'm gonna start call'n you Pollyanna, how can a Twilter (sic) now know where the Q is on the Qwerty keyboard. i hope you're not into the gator food. it could swamp the mind ya know. snorfle. :)
Susan, i saw your post earlier too but i > So glad you've solved it, Susan. I saw your post but I can't even spell > ET5. Polly
I had no clue how to solve your problem, but I am curious how you did it.

Swamp my mind? Yes. That's probably what happened. And you should just SEE this new keyboard. It probably can launch satellites and re-route the Interstate highway in Nebraska. Just never saw anything like it. In very simple terms, would somebody please explain what a tumbler pattern is? Polly
It looks like a bunch of drinking glasses (tumblers) in your kitchen cabinet. One row is sitting on the bottom and the next row is sitting on the part you drink from.
Scroll down the page on the right-hand side.
Got it. Thank you, Kay. Polly
I'd also like to know how you solved it, Susan! I had no idea what to tell you to do.
Discovered that the custom design has two different types. The one I wanted is called custom glide. I needed the top to be 1.50. Could only get it to be 1.49 but that was close enough. I have heard from others that the EQ6 solves several of these problems but I know I don't have time to learn to use the new system.
I spent the afternoon at the store cutting most of the scrap fabric in the waste box into tumblers. By using the EQ layout I figured that I needed at least 400 tumblers for a throw with borders. Was able to make 6 complete quilt kits cutting two pieces each of 200 fabrics. Also cut extras so on Friday I will put several more kits together. Those kits might have more than 2 of any one fabric but there will still be lots of variety.
To cut the kits we use an Accu Cut die cutting machine. I was cutting eight layers of fabric at a time. The die has eight tumblers but one width of fabric folded in half only covers seven of the dies. Occassionally that seventh piece isn't large enough so I will have to count and add extras to the seventh set. If you would like to learn more about the die cutting system check their web site
