Shoot for the Stars Student Projects

Just like current students in Shoot for the Stars with EQ8, you can feel so much more confident drafting both pieced and applique blocks.  You will even create some basic quilting designs and learn to incorporate a favorite fabric collection.  And then combine all of these to create your quilt.  All while having a blast in a community of fellow quilters.

Frequently Asked Questions:
​
What level is this class targeted toward?  Beginner to Electric Quilt 8.  Just install Electric Quilt 8 software on your computer, register it, and you are good to participate.  

Are there any pre-requisites for the class?  No.  You don't need any specific knowledge of EQ8.  But you should  be familiar with your computer or have access to someone that can help you with basic computer questions.  

Does it matter if I am on a MAC versus PC?  No.  Electric Quilt looks essentially the same for both PC and MAC users.  Both should be able to successfully complete the project using the instructions in the videos.

What if I have EQ7, EQ Stitch or EQ Mini?  The class and videos are not targeted for older versions of Electric Quilt.  However, if you are thinking of purchasing EQ8 this class will assist you in seeing some of the benefits of upgrading.  You can also save the emails (with links to the videos) and go through them again once you have purchased EQ8.
​
How will I access the videos?  The regular e-mails on Monday Wednesday and Friday will contain links to the videos plus any added instructions for completing that day's assignment. 

What if I didn't receive one of the e-mails?  Most of the time these may be located in spam or junk folders. Or if you have a gmail account, the Promotions folder.   First check there.  To minimize the potential issues. add Kari.Schell@onpointquilter.com to your address book.  If that doesn't work, please e-mail me so I can help research the problem.
