I'm installing the cd - got as far as putting in the license code and password and my name and address to over internet. It processed some more with the Windows configurations...then...
I got "unable to create new document" along with 'Tips of the Day'. I exited out of there and tried to click on the shortcut on the desktop and it configures again with Windows and I get the same "unable to create new document" notice again.

Help! ever had this issue. Of course they're closed for the weekend. :(

Thanks in advance - will check in later tonight...

I restarted the computer and now it seems to work... :)

Ok - sure will - but I have to start reading the book and go through the 'lessons'.

It does look a little complicated but with practice I'm sure I'll get it. Hopefully it won't take too much of my time away from quilting. :)

I do know that EQ has great phone support. Glad you got it up and running.

I'm taking my second EQ class on-line at Quilt University. Both classes are $36 each and well worth the money. I never ever would have been able to do this on my own. I'm lovin it.

If you go to their web site there's a list of up coming classes. The EQ Sampler class is where you want to start and it will be given again around July-August.

July/August is too busy here. We're usually out and about daily (or on vacation) and I'm too tired to get online and think. I'll wait until fall, I guess.

Just got an e-mail from Quilt University and the schedule for the Samplers class is 5/13, 7/15 & 9/9 and the cost is $36.

What is the sampler's class? Do they have downloads or do you have to be there at a certain time or are they on-site only classes? I have taken a few computer classes (like photoshop classes) but the site where I've done them has them available forever. That's one thing I love about them but they don't give anything but photo editing and digital scrapbooking classes.

The sampler class is the first of the EQ7 classes. It is four weeks. Each Friday a lesson is posted and you work at your own speed. At the end she leaves the class open for a couple of weeks so everyone has the chance to finish. There's a question and answer dialog so she can help you as you go through the lessons. It's suggested that you print each lesson so have a ream of paper and new ink cartridge handy. Well worth the time. The printouts are much better than the manual. I'm just finishing the second class "Building Blocks" and both classes are well worth the money.

ok thanks. I think the site I mentioned must be the only one that lets you access classes forever. It must work well for her because I know people who will only take classes there for that very reason. Too bad others haven't followed suit. I don't want to print out reams of papers that I don't have room for or worry about being there every friday and remembering to check before class materials are no longer available. Bummer. :(
