Easy Draw Online Class - Starts February 23rd

Have you ever found the “perfect” block online.  But then realized you wanted to piece it a different way. 

 Maybe you want rotary cutting instructions or a foundation pattern. 

Or maybe you want a different size to incorporate into a different quilt. 

With Electric Quilt you can redraft these blocks. 

This class will focus on how to “read a block” and then come up with the most efficient way to draft it with Electric Quilt. 

​The 22 blocks in this class are those that can be done in a “grid” format – basically just like drawing with a pencil and graph paper.  Within Electric Quilt these blocks are drafted within Easy Draw.  Level:  Advanced Beginner.

Dates:  February 23, March 1, and 8 6:30 - 7:30 pm (Central time) (three sessions)

Class size will be limited to 10 participants.  This class will be exactly like taking at "in person" class at a show or shop.   We will use screen sharing technology -- so you will be able to see my screen and if you have specific questions, I will also be able to view yours as well.
