Electric Quilt A-0008EQ, Null

The EQ8 software was easy to install. I bought the beginner book but the instructions with the software were useful too. There's also Youtube videos that show how the software works. After playing around with the program, I'm having a blast designing and redesigning quilts. I can pick different colors and block designs to see how the quilt will look. I love the printing features - you can print the designed quilt, print templates for cutting specific designs, and it estimates the amount of fabric in yards that you need for each fabric type and color. You can change colors and block shapes and even design your own block. The only thing I'd like to see is a bigger variety of fabrics in the library. You can export fabric photos but it would be nice to have a more robust library. I would also like a "save" feature that overrides an existing quilt when I'm editing. It just saves updates to a new file and keeps the previous versions. Still, when I open the quilt project, it shows all the versions I made so that's handy. The price of the software is reasonable too. I would recommend this product.

I have been wanting the Electric Quilt design program for a while, and I'm so glad I finally made the purchase! This order comes in a box with a user manual and download code to download the program directly from the Electric Quilt website. (This is all very professional looking and I would feel confident giving this as a gift.) The process was very simple and I had no trouble setting everything up. They also allow you to have the program on two computers at a time and you can transfer to a new computer as often as needed. You will need internet access past the download because the system will periodically check that you are running a legitimate copy of the program. The software is pretty user friendly but does take a minute to figure out. The manual that comes with the program is pretty good and there are links to video lessons on the home page. I picked up the "EQ8 Lessons for Beginners" book and it has really sped up the process of figuring everything out. Don't forget to check out the Electric Quilt website, they offer add on packages for fabric palettes (some of them free and some paid). Overall, couldn't be happier with the purchase.

This program will definitely save me many dollars in quilt patterns. There are limitless possibilities for creating new patterns and testing out different colors and fabrics in the patterns you create. I am really glad I bought the "Lessons for Beginners" book with this - the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I feel like the software is user friendly, however I don't think I would feel that way if I hadn't purchased the book and gone through the lessons. The program is very powerful with a lot of features. I am rarely thrilled with software but this program is amazing. I highly recommend!!

Best price around. Easy and perfect for all my quilting projects

Like: website support Dislike: software uses some odd conventions for organizing “folders” hierarchy not obvious, I took a class to learn. Which I never do. So once I got through the tour, basic functions are easy enough. Like: Block designing is easy. Dislike: Certain workflows for managing fabric are not obvious—Can you tell that when I say it’s not intuitive I’m really saying EQ wasted my day? On up side there are good tutorials on YouTube. Dislike: EQ will calculate yardage—if you want to make a single pot holder, aka block. Yup. No yardage for total quilt, sashing, borders, backing or cutting diagram for the whole. Motif function etc for examining quilting is more of a toy. Not enough resolution, no edge to edge looks. Like: good for trying out quilt and block coloration. Good for block design, specifically. Great for resizing blocks. Great for overall block design and experimentation. Pretty quick actually. Great for eyeballing a classic block and recreation. Color trials are ok for a crude pass. Meh on fabrics. Your screen limitations are going to make that a toy. Great for keeping a catalog of your designs in different colors. Great for identifying really ugly combos (that’s useful too!) Haven’t decided if I’d buy again. Probably not. I like playing with it but lacks functionality that would light my fire.

Love the software so far. A Quilt Guild I am a member of had a speaker on it I purchased it and love it.

Easy to load onto computer, great training videos included. Has made my quilting projects much simpler and easy to cut. Saves time and waste

First - this is an excellent program for the price! I went on YouTube and watched a ton of the video's before I ordered and this program lived up to the hipe. Second - I am glad I ordered the Beginners book with it and worked thru the chapters - there were lots of tips in the book that helped me immensely once I started designing my own quilt. I bought this program to help me design a panel quilt and imported the main 2 fabrics which was also easy to do. Because of the built-in quilt styles I'm thinking of cutting up the panel instead of my original idea of using it whole and putting it into blocks instead. In addition - I'm also thinking about making an applique quilt as it appears I can just print the applique and scan it into my Scan 'n Cut machine which will cut it out of the material for me.

N/A

Optimales Programm, dürfte nicht viel besseres auf dem Sektor geben, schon gar nicht mit dem Service und der Community. Bestellung, Abwicklung, Installation, Aktivierung, keinerlei Probleme. Schaut man sich um, ist der Preis mehr als in Ordnung. Volle Empfehlung.

Use it for quilt design, it’s easy to use, haven’t used it that long yet but haven’t found anything to dislike about it

ずーっと欲しかった商品です。 以前ずいぶん前の旧版を使用したことがあり、キルトを作る人にとっては、とっても便利なソフトなのです。 キルトはパターンのレイアウトやピースの色はどこに何色を使うかで、イメージがまったく変わるので、それを瞬時に確認できるし、必要な生地の用尺も提示されたり、とにかく便利です。 ダウンロードも自分さえ、自分の有効なメアドやパスワードをきちんと入力できたら、あっという間です。 英語がわかれば、サポートを受けながらもできるようです。 問題は日本で購入するなら、平行輸入業社選びです。 わたしは、二度利用できない IDを買うこととなりました。 electric quilt 自体はオンラインショップで海外受注もしてるので、英語力が少しあって、海外とのカード決済などに、抵抗の無い方は直接購入してもいいかもです。 わたしも、Amazonでなければ、泣き寝入りだったかもです。 どこのショップが正解かはもはや超能力者じゃないと選別不可能かもです。 超能力のないわたしは2度失敗しました。 electric quilt はとても親切な良い会社でした。注意点は時差が半日以上あるから、 直接サポートをうけたければ、夜１０時過ぎ位にならないとアメリカの始業時間にならないとおもいます。

It is great pleasure to conceptualize your own quilt, user friendly, simply an amazing tool
