Tech Know Quilters Masters
a Monthly Membership Program
Apply your Electric Quilt 8 design skills to your own projects
Tech Know Quilters Masters Program is an exclusive membership for those who have taken 12+ Tech Know Quilter's classes.
Completing 12 months of Tech Know Quilters is an amazing achievement. Through your Tech Know Quilters basic membership, you have gained a much greater skill set in designing blocks and quilts with Electric Quilt 8. If you are tracking your progress with the Tech Know Quilters Success Path, I suspect that you are at either currently at Stage 4 (Make Mine Original) or Stage 5 (Sharing Your Art). If you are not at those stages, you are close to entering those stages.
If this is you – you are ready for accelerating your progress on mastering Electric Quilt. The masters program allows you to continue learning with full support of other members and of course me!
Let me reassure you – the much loved 10 minute videos are not going away. TKQ Masters provides flexibility to balance a smaller number of these videos with more time and support for personal creativity. The masters program also encourages accelerated progress as you explore designing your own quilts or personalizing quilt designs you have purchased using Electric Quilt 8.
