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.

What’s Included in Tech Know Quilters Masters?
- Access to six or seven training lessons per month. Starting in 2021, all new Tech Know Quilter content is exclusive to the Masters level program and will only be accessible in Masters.
- Each of the lessons will include 10 minute videos plus handouts providing step by step instructions supporting the video.
- Unlimited access to videos and handouts for purchased classes as long as the Tech Know Quilters program is in existence (even if you decide to cancel).
- Private invitation to three online help sessions per month. These help sessions are your opportunity to share a project you are currently working on and ask questions and receive advice from Kari. One of those help sessions will be only to those in the TKQ Masters program.
- Access to a Private Facebook group only for those enrolled in the ongoing Tech Know Quilters Member Studio program. This will be a chance to ask questions and share photos of your work from the class.
- A copy of the Tech Know Quilters Success Path so you can track your progress as you expand your Electric Quilt Skill set.
- Monthly challenge including (1) recreating an existing quilt from a picture or pictures of the quilt or (2) designing a quilt or block around a particular theme or style.
- The Apply What You Learned Challenge will be presented at the end of each month. This will be your opportunity to share what you worked on during the month. Note that submissions do not need to relate to any particular TKQ lesson.
- An Implementation Week where the focus is working on your own blocks and quilts. This could be an original design or it could involve remaking a purchased pattern -- to make it your own. You can even use this week to work on piecing your quilt.
- The Skip Option is a benefit for those who choose to be subscribed to both Tech Know Quilters Basic and Tech Know Quilters Masters. With the Skip Option you can choose to take a breather from all full-month classes for a month (or more) or even pause your TKQ Basics membership. This will provide you with more time to absorb and apply the content from your current classes – while retaining the full support and benefit of being in the membership group. When you are ready to resume or take another class, just let us know when and what class you would like next. When exercising the skip option, you will still have access to all the TKQ Masters program benefits. The TKQ Masters program cannot be skipped or paused.
