CONTENTS: Announcements - EQ4 Simplified - Mailbox - Fabric Scanning Tips - ClubEQ - Ask EQ - Show & Tell - Recognizing EQ Designers - Other Uses for EQ4 - Web Sightings. Fran Gonzalez Writes New Book EQ4 Simplified: A beginner's companion to Electric Quilt 4 software
Learn EQ4 while creating six original quilt designs made just for
you by designer Fran Iverson Gonzalez. No dull tech stuff here!
Fran's easy lessons start with the basics in Part I. She gradually
introduces more advanced work with layers, borders, quilting stitches,
the Wreathmaker, appliqué drawing, Country Set, and using
the graph pad, in Part II. All lesson steps, tools and screens,
are illustrated in large pictures that won't require you to put
on your glasses. There's a detailed Table of Contents as well as
a full Index for quick lookup. Fran Iverson Gonzalez is an EQ whiz.
She's written two earlier tutorials, EQ2 Simplified and EQ3 Simplified,
and taught beginners' hands-on EQ classes at Oklahoma Quiltworks
(Oklahoma City) for years. She uses EQ to create her own pattern
line, including the wonderful "Sky Lights" EQ Mystery
Quilt featured on EQ's Web site. Fran's love of quilts and fabrics,
clear in her book, is rooted in her childhood. "At an early
age I was exposed to vibrant colors, exotic fabrics, and unusual
designs," she says. "For relaxation, my grandmother made
very sophisticated and elaborate Mardi Gras costumes and entire
wedding ensembles on her 1930's Singer sewing machine. One of my
earliest memories is of collecting glittering rainbows of elegant,
sequined fabric scraps from her sewing room floor to make doll clothes.
Every gathering of the women in the family ultimately involved discussions
of fabric and needlework." To order EQ4 Simplified, call 1-800-356-4219
or ask for it in your local store carrying EQ products."Since I am, first and foremost, a quilter, not a computer expert, I helped my students learn EQ software the way I learned it myself. Now, with this Beginner's Companion to EQ4 you, like my students, can feel confident enough to 'try this at home... alone!' " Click the images below to see a larger version.
