Unlock Your Electric Quilt 8 Design Potential

Jennifer Rapacki combines technology and tradition in her approach to quilting, guiding quilters of all levels to explore new creative possibilities. If you’re new to EQ8 quilt design software or find yourself puzzled by the Electric Quilt software, this course is the perfect starting point. Think of it as the “missing manual” for quilters—a clear and concise introduction to mastering EQ8.

Jennifer breaks down the basics with her signature blend of insight and humor, showing you how EQ8 differs from typical software tools like Microsoft or other graphics programs. She’ll walk you through essential tools and settings, including her personal strategies for managing projects in the sketchbook. You’ll also learn how to edit rotary cutting instructions for efficient strip cutting, rather than tackling each shape individually. With detailed step-by-step exercises, this class will help you unlock the full potential of your EQ quilting software and elevate your design processes.

EQ8 is available for both Mac and PC. When necessary, Jennifer's instructions will cover if there are differences in the two versions.
