Introduction to Electric Quilt

Introduction to Electric Quilt 7 (or EQ Stitch)

Are you ready to delve into this powerful software. I know that it can be scary getting started -- but Kari will guide you through each step of the journey as you become comfortable navigating and using the primary features of this program.

I know that learning styles differ, so I have a number of different options for you to choose from. Pick the one that works best for you.

Option 1: Online Instructor Led Interactive Small Group Training

Hands on Instructor Training that will guide you through the blocks and quilts in the class. This will be exactly like taking an in person class at a shop or show -- but from the comfort of your home.
Small Class Sizes (limited to 8)
Detailed Handouts that will assist when recreating the quilts
Downloadable Video of the session that allows you to replay the class over and over again -- until you get it. :)

Class size will be limited to 8 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.
