About Eq8 Lessons for Beginners
Step-by-Step Exercises for Learning EQ8 Software
This step-by-step lesson book is an excellent starter book for learning EQ8 software. The lessons are easy to follow and cover the basics of each of the three main worktables of EQ8.
You will design quilts, draw blocks, import fabric scans, print patterns and calculate yardage estimates.
Even if you’ve owned earlier versions of EQ, this book will introduce new features, while refreshing and energizing your approach to quilt design.
This 128-page fully illustrated color book has a convenient spiral binding that allows pages to rotate 360 degrees and lay flat.
About Shoot for the Stars
In talking to people in my classes and online, one thing I heard frequently is "I haven't really learned how to use my EQ7 or EQ8 software". Or a variation on the theme -- "I haven't used EQ in (insert number) of months (or even years)". Or -- "I've tried the software, but it wasn't intuitive".
Can you relate?
Could you commit to just 10 minutes a day to learn the basics of Electric Quilt 8?
Note: This challenge is designed for both beginners to Electric Quilt and those that have just migrated to Electric Quilt 8. My goal is to encourage you to learn the basics so you are comfortable starting to design on your own.
- An e-mail will be sent to your mailbox on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week.
- The e-mail will provide you with a link to a short video (most are under 5 minutes) you can watch online. The video will provide you with step by step instructions to draft some part of an Electric Quilt 8 project.
- Save all the emails in a folder, so you can refer back to the documentation and watch the videos again. The private link in the email is the only way to access the videos.
- Your challenge is to watch the video and complete the tasks within Electric Quilt.
- At the end of the 14 videos, you will have designed a quilt in Electric Quilt 8 and will have been introduced to many of the new features in this release. The theme is Shoot for the Stars with EQ8.
- The most significant benefit is that you will now be on track to being a regular user of Electric Quilt 8.
