On Monday November 7 I will post my first class showing you how to use your EQ or Electric Quilt software. It can be EQ5 or EQ6 or EQ7. I will cover all 3 versions as we go along.

How many classes will depend on what all everyone wants to see. I expect to show from the beginning how to open and start using your program. I will cover the tools and all the buttons and what they do in the first class. I will also show you a simple quilt block so you can practice on it using the tools.

These classes will stay on the Board and be available to anyone anytime. I will be available on Mon Nov 7 at 11 am for questions and discussion.

Every Monday I will post a new class until we have covered all the information we need to. How many that is remains to be seen.

Unfortunately with the move to the new site I will not be able to send out any notifications.

I would love to have some input from everyone on what you would like to see in these classes beyond the basics. What sort of things are you wanting to do with your program?

Are you going to design with it? Are you wanting to create quilts? Wall hangings table runners or any other type of quilt? Miniatures or Hotpads etc? Are you wanting to do Kaleidoscopes? Applique?

I am by no means an expert on the EQ. I just have used my EQ5 for about 3 yrs pretty nearly every day and I have explored alot of options. But there will be areas I am unsure of. What I don't know we will find out either in the books or by checking out some of the info in the EQ threads here on the Board or by asking someone who is more familiar with the areas I don't know enough about.

I can walk you through the basics and how I use my EQ. I can help you learn to add your own fabrics and how to use the libraries etc. I can show you how to experiment with borders and with quilt ideas. I ordered EQ7 and hope to have it soon so I can pick up on it.

Any feedback of what you would like to cover in these classes will help me to provide answers more accurately. Thanks everyone!! Rhonda
