Have you purchased Electric Quilt 8 with big dreams of designing your own quilts—only to feel overwhelmed once you opened the program?
You’re not alone. Many quilters discover that EQ8 is packed with powerful tools, but without guidance, it can feel like more frustration than fun. That’s exactly why I created the Tech Know Quilters Academy. In this 10 minute video, I’ll share how the Academy can help you move from stuck and uncertain to confident and creative—designing quilts that are truly your own. ​Watch the video to see how you can finally unlock the full potential of EQ8. ​Ready to turn EQ8 from a source of frustration into your favorite quilting tool? Enrollment for the Tech Know Quilters Academy is now open—but only for a limited time. In just six months, you’ll gain the confidence to design your own blocks, appliqué motifs, and quilts that reflect your unique vision. ​Plus, when you join the inaugural class, you’ll receive exclusive bonuses to support your journey. ​Enrollment closes on Monday, September 29.
Remember drawing five pointed stars in Grade school? Drafting them in EQ8 is just as easy. Learn how in this Electric Quilt 8 tutorial. Learn how to incorporate your stars in another block -- and create a new quilt from your blocks.
