I'll post week 2 PDF in the week 2 tutorial. I just haven't had a chance to do it yet. My DH who once was in his room and wouldn't leave our bedroom for depression(he has a TV and computer and movies etc in there) now wants to go out to eat about every other day! LOL I hate to say no as we used to work hard to pry him out of the house. But now I am gone too much and find it hard to keep up!! LOL

" I figured it out!! YAY!! Thanks Rhonda for a great tutorial"

Disregard message below!! LOL


Hi Rhonda... your class is amazing but I am having some problems. I made my HST block and went back the screen with the 9 patch on it to add my blocks and I am getting an error message that says "cant set drawing on base layer of quilt. Please use layout options to remove restriction." What do i do to fix this? I am using EQ5. Thanks for your help!!

Here is an answer that was posted on Class 2. I hope it helps!

In EQ5, Go to File, click on Preferences, a box will pop up. Look at the tabs and click on Layout Options. You have several boxes that have check marks in them, uncheck the following boxes, Prevent motifs from being set on layer 1 and prevent uncolored drawing from being set on layer 1 then click OK and try it again. That should fix the problem. Hope this helps!! This is what worked for me on Tutorial 1.

Thanks Rhonda, I finally got it now I just need how to figure out how to keep the color in my blocks. LOL Back to Lesson 1

What is EQ? Is it software?

Yes, it is software that allows you to design quilts. EQ stands for Electric Quilt.

I see PDF files for all the others. Am I missing something here or how do I find the PDF file for lesson 1? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I posted it earlier on in this thread but here is the PDF for Week 1

Thanks Gladie I haven't tried this yet. I am too used to just using edit but I know it will only delete or undo 2 or 3 and then you are stuck. Next time I will try this.

Was there a pdf file for week 1? I've looked through the tread several times and can't seem to find it. Thanks for your help.

Go back 4 posts and you will find it. I also posted it shortly after the lesson.

I figured it was there just couldn't find it. Thank you so much for your time. You are sew talented.

Great Tutorial
 

Thanks Rhonda. This is such a huge help. I've been trying to teach myself using the manual, but it gets pretty confusing. Your EQ Class is GREAT. Do you have classes for Weeks 2-6?
Thanks

All the classes are listed in the Topics List under Electric Quilt

Rhonda,
Where do I get the computer program to follow along with your classes?

You can keep an eye on the Classifieds on here. sometimes people have EQ for sale. Or you can buy directly from the EQ company. You can also look on Ebay. Sometimes you can get a good bargain that way.

IF you post on here you are looking to buy someone might have one to sell or send you in the direction of one that is on sale.
Some of the sites like Fons and Porter or Eleanor Burns will have sales on software.

i have eq 6 does anyone know if i upgrade to eq 7 if i can put it on my 2 computers that have eq6 installed on or do i have to purchase upgrade for both computers

You will have an unlimited number of times to upload 7 to up to 3 computers at a time. So you just need to buy it once. I just uploaded it to my new computer and a word of advice. The book suggests that you copy the ID and password from your EQ6 onto your EQ7 page where your ID and password is for 7. When uploading you have to put these in several times and it is easier to have them both in the same place instead of going back and forth between both books.

If you need any help and it is something I can do I will be happy to help. Just let me know. Rhonda

thanks rhonda
