Quilting with Electric Quilt Stitch

9/23/2016

 
Lots to share this week.  As promised, this post includes the remaining close-ups of the Summer Games quilt.  

I also am now the proud owner of EQ Stitch!  I am including my initial impressions of the software -- and my first video.  See how easy it is to produce quilting designs for stitching on your embroidery machine.

I am also introducing a number of new digital quilting designs (for both longarm and embroidery systems) for the Summer Games quilt -- with a sale on these new designs.

EQ Stitch

I am now a proud owner of Electric Quilt Stitch.  What is EQ Stitch -- it is an add-on software for Electric Quilt that provides the ability to create designs for your embroidery machine.

​Here are a few observations after beginning to play with EQ Stitch:
  • The drawing tools work exactly like the drawing tools in Electric Quilt.  No learning curve.  
  • I could use my previously created applique and quilting designs - plus (of course) all the applique and quilting designs in the Electric Quilt library.
  • It only took a couple of hours to go through the videos and lessons on EQ Stitch.  Basically the important stuff I learned was how to change the outline, fill and underlay stitches.
  • The stitch out feature is really nice -- allowing you see how your embroidery machine is going to stitch out the design.
  • It didn't have all the bells and whistles of higher end digitizing software.  But the higher end software can run you $1,000+.  EQ Stitch retails for $250.  A great value for a fantastic program!
  • You can use all your fabrics in EQ for coloring "in the hoop" applique.
  • You can audition your created quilting designs directly on your quilt.
  • The designs are only for embroidery machines -- you can't use them on the computerized longarm machines.

Yodaladywho! Congrats on adding EQ-Stitch to your quilting tools!!
I clicked on your little videos but they both say "This video is private" so there isn't a picture. Did I miss something???

Thanks for letting me know. I tried a new method of showing the videos -- which obviously didn't completely work. I think I have fixed the issue.
