Software Classes

 

Electric Quilt 101 This has been the premier quilting software for years, however, we often use what we can  figure out on our own and never explore its full potential.  Spend a few hours learning new ways to let EQ6 help you design your quilts, plan settings and quilting patterns, select fabrics, edit blocks and design your own.  If you don’t own Electric Quilt, you are welcome to come and see what it’s all about.  Ask or click here for supply list.  1 session, $34 Monday 10am-2pm: February 15 (holiday) All levels ....................................................................Instructor, Nancy Karst

*NEW*Digitizing In and Outside the Lines Outlines don’t have to be on the outside of objects.  Learn to digitize from art work and experiment with special fills. Ask for supply list. Requires Designer Plus software. *Laptop loaded with software required.  1 session, $34 Saturday 10am-2pm: May 15 Intermediate, Advanced ...................................Instructor, Lesly-Claire Greenberg

Machine Mastery Classes

For those of you who have purchased a new Bernina from us, our Machine Mastery Classes are listed below.  In addition to being free with your new machine, we also include a booklet "Mastering Your Machine," which retails for $95. We feel these are so important in helping you get the most from your machine, they are a little thank you gift from us.  Please sign up for the appropriate class for your specific machine. 

For those of you who feel you need to refresh your skills, we welcome you to take the classes as often as you need to, but please sign up in advance.  Class size is limited to 8 students in order to give everyone as much attention as possible. 

If you have purchased your machine elsewhere, but wish to take your owner's classes with our excellent teachers, you are welcome to do so at a cost of $20 per class hour, on a space-available basis.  If you have recently moved here and were unable to take classes at your former shop, please bring in your sales slip and we will happily try to accommodate you.

Editor Lite software owners should sign up for the software mastery classes in addition to your machine mastery classes.  Please check the schedule below.

If you own an older model machine (purchased from us) and still need your mastery classes, please call the shop so we can put you in the proper class or make a personal appointment with an instructor.
