I would like to continue the new user classes and perhaps spread them out over the country in different locations. I do not have the ability to travel as I am a caregiver for my husband but would really looove to learn EQ8 to design my own quilts.
12-20-2019

I would love to take the Getting to Know EQ8 2 Day Class. I have not had time to sit down and teach myself since purchasing my EQ8 upgrade. My husband passed this year, I sold our home and purchased a smaller one, downsizing and going through his items has been a journey that is taking my of my time. I need to have a good distraction to look forward to next year. Thank you for considering me!
12-20-2019

11:18 am
I need to learn how to design a quilt when the blocks are different sizes.
12-20-2019
11:20 am
Your class for “how to teach” definitely catches my interest. Baased on questions I often receive from blog followers, I think the following topics would be good to offer:
- Custom Quilt designs (various block sizes, as well as unusual quilt shapes)
- How to take your EQ applique design to your electronic cutter to cut out your applique shapes (eg. how to create an SVG file based on your EQ design).
12-20-2019
11:20 am
Wouldn’t it be great to win this contest! The most serious thing I’ve won was a gold fish!! This would definitely break my record!
12-20-2019

Good Luck everyone.

12-20-2019
11:45 am
I would like a class on using a picture of an already existing quilt and recreating it in EQ8 so it can be manipulated. This would be very useful when looking at antique quilts where no pattern exists. Maybe an old quilt could be paper pieced???
12-20-2019

12-20-2019
12:13 pm
I would love for you to offer all of the courses online, especially the ‘Getting to Know…” classes. You’d be an industry leader – and I suspect your enrollment would go sky high. The other option would be to create an organized step by step series on YouTube. I’ve used some of what’s out there, but it seems there are more videos from non-EQ providers than from official EQ. I agree with some of the other comments, for some of us, it is difficult to travel to Perrysburg. Love your product, just want more at my fingertips .
12-20-2019
12:43 pm
I totally agree! I use YouTube for a lot of my learning. It would be nice to doe the EQ Academy courses online. I would definitely register!
12-20-2019

I would like to take all of the courses but am interested in Break Free From The Grid: Non Traditional Layouts and How To Teach an EQ8 Class.
12-20-2019
12:23 pm
Since I’m still a beginner to EQ8, I really do value all the Getting Started classes.
12-20-2019
12:24 pm
I have seen this mentioned by other quilters here this morning and must add my .02 cents: I would like to see more of these events across the country (in different locations) so it would be easier for all who desired to attend. I do not believe you would see a smaller attendance, in fact, I would think it would be the same or larger due to not having travel and overnight expenses.
12-20-2019
12:24 pm
I would like to take a course on how to teach EQ. I am already a Quilt in a Day Certified Instructor. I am also interested in learning how to incorporate EQ images into quilt patterns.

Thank you for all your support, ideas and teachings! Even tho I have learned so much and use EQ8 for every project now (including Quilts of Valour Canada), there is still so much to learn- like the foundation paper piecing & applique design – and subsequent share by learning tips for teaching! Being retired has its perks as I can now spend so much more time designing and using up the “collection” of fabrics accumulated over the years. You’ve made so much possible.
12-20-2019
1:11 pm
I would love a class on quilt design theory – how to see the results right away on eq8. What works and doesn’t work in real life. How to balance creativity with actual construct ability.
12-20-2019
1:16 pm
I would love a class that would teach me how to write patterns after designing a quilt in EQ. Or one that would tell me how to piece a block after I design it.
12-20-2019
1:23 pm
I have loved all classes offered. A class to help with combining methods would be lovely, ie drawing a pieced block and applying applique over the blocks/quilt.
Custom quilts have been taught, but more of that is also good.
12-20-2019
1:24 pm
There are several classes I would love to take. Start with “Getting started with EQ8”, followed by “Drawing pieced blocks”, then ending with “Drawing appliqué blocks.” I’ve had Electric Quilt SW for many years, I’m still a very novice user. This is a great opportunity to hone my EQ skill set.
12-20-2019
1:27 pm
I would love to learn to do pieced blocks and design a quilt using different size blocks.

12-20-2019
1:32 pm
I would like a class offered for fabric manipulation, like collages or multi-material art quilts. I don’t know how this would look, maybe it would require another level or 21
12-20-2019
1:39 pm
i Would like to be able to audition quilt designs over the completed quilt.
12-20-2019

12-20-2019
2:15 pm
I have been using EQ for years and love it. But I am not an expert and get stuck sometimes. I am a hands on learner. Now that I am retired, I have more time to become a serious user. Like everyone else who has commented I would love to win this wonderful prize.
12-20-2019
2:30 pm
I would love to learn draw designs. I have up to EQ7 but over the years I have only used the established blocks
12-20-2019
2:32 pm
I would love a class on the most beginner of beginners using EQ8. Everything from opening the program for the first time to what each thing on the program is for…from the simplest thing to begin with. Can you tell I’m computer-challenged?!! Been using them for years, but they really don’t like me! I need all the help I can get!!
12-20-2019
2:37 pm
I would like to have a class in designing art quilts – kind of a “free hand” drawing class.

4:19 pm
I have been waiting for EQ Academy and I’m so excited for January 10. I had wanted to go last fall but wasn’t able to work out the details. I have time scheduled off of work for April and I’m so excited. I would love classes on how to make your own quilt using Accuquilt Qubes.

I think it would be great to have a class on irregular borders and also one on ways to export appliqué for electronic cutting machines (Silhouette, Brother Scan n Cut, Cricut.) And also how to draw patterns using Accuquilt’s Studio dies.

12-20-2019

I have used EQ8 and other versions for a while but I don’t know if I am getting the most out of this wonderful program…just don’t know what I need. For me, maybe a little bit of an advanced class
12-20-2019
5:31 pm
How about a class on designing English Paper Pieced (EPP) quilts with various shapes, e.g. hexies, kites, coffins, clamshells, etc.? I would like to reproduce and use Marti Michell’s 2” and 3” Kite and Crown shapes and can’t figure out how to do it.
12-20-2019

12-20-2019
6:21 pm
I’ve not yet updated to EQ8, but I would like to take the class on beyond the obvious or non-traditional quilts and if I won I would be willing to update prior to the class. A big plus would be that I could visit my son, who works in Perrysburg, and his family while I am there. How exciting that would be!!

6:33 pm
I would like to see a class on designing custom settings.

12-20-2019

12-20-2019
7:29 pm
I would love to take ANY of the classes! I was given EQ8 last year as a Christmas gift and have tried to teach myself, which has been less than successful. I would LOVE to take a class!!

I would love the Designing Modern Quilts class.
12-20-2019
10:08 pm
I would be interested in a class on ways of using EQ8 to make modern quilts while using different size blocks. We do not have an EQ8 teacher in our area. As a result, we have started a group a few years ago with those of us who own EQ8. We meet once a month to “practice” and learn from one another. Winning a class would help not only me, but others in my group as I share my knowledge.
12-20-2019
10:22 pm
I would love to drill down into the program and design original patterns…Last thing I won was the room lottery at college…Oh and a prime parking space at work for a month.

I agree with Jennifer P., offering EQ8 101 classes via other platforms or locations would be wonderful. How about a 101 course in Blueprint or a series of DVDs or downloadable classes we can purchase to watch at home.
12-21-2019

My brother passed away in Oct after a brief illness, and I promised my sister-in-law I would make one for her, one for each of their children and one for each grandchild.
Thank you.

I am brand new to EQ. My goals this year are to really expand my quilting capabilities! I interested in learning EQ8 from top to bottom. This class would offer me a head start on understanding EQ8’s and my own potential! The beginner classes are important for me to learn how to optimize the tools within the program as well as learning to set up foundation piecing. I want to learn everything I can to become the best designer I can!

12-21-2019
11:50 am
There needs to be more EQ8 classes for beginners that are in the South of the country. When classes are offered anywhere, they fill up quickly. Can’t you get some business in the Houston/Dallas/Austin area to sponsor some of these classes?
12-21-2019
12:29 pm
I think an overview of the EQ8 over a 1-2 day class would help my brain absorb the information on how to use the product more fully. As it is, my usage is hit and miss depending on what I need at the time.
I have been impressed with the quick responses to my questions when I do get stuck but, think if I had a cohesive overview presentation, I would remember more and feel more comfortable (than intimidated or frustrated) when I try to use EQ8 for a project. It’s been great for determining borders; number, size and colors for quilt tops that I have done but, not too much designing and would like to use more often to expand my designing abilities to create unique quilts for shows.
