Shoot for the Stars with Electric Quilt 8
Electric Quilt has just announced the release of the latest version of their iconic software (the first release in over 7 years). This version has an entirely new look and feel which I think you are really going to enjoy learning to use it. I know that you are ready get started.
In talking to people in my classes and online, one thing I heard frequently is "I haven't really learned how to use my EQ7 software". Or a variation on the theme -- "I haven't used EQ7 in (insert number) of months (or even years)". or -- "I've tried the software, but it wasn't intuitive".
Can you relate?
Could you commit to just 10 minutes a day to learn the basics of Electric Quilt 8?
What if I offer it to you for only $25?
Note: This challenge is designed for both beginners to Electric Quilt and those that have just migrated to Electric Quilt 8.
