OMG. EQ8 should pay you for your wonderful tutorials!! I've watched thiers numerous times and still had a hard time using EQ8, but after watching yours I get it. Thank you.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Wow, thank you! I do have a membership for EQ training if you would live to see more? We meet monthly to work on new designs. Here is a link to find out more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6PRhX2IlraXq6M

Nancy, thank you so much for giving me a starting point in EQ8. I bought it a year ago but hardly ever used it. It is not very intuitive, even for computer-savvy persons. You are a great teacher. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@morganosborne9258]

Nancy, this was a fantastic introduction to EQ8. You make it seem approachable.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful! Consider joining my Designer Level membership to join me for monthly training classes :) - Nancy

[@dianelouise3944]

I learned so much from this video that I signed up for your KZbin subscription (Designer level). I've had EQ8 for over a year. After watching your video I sat down and tried some things and it was so much easier for me! You taught me more in 1 1/2 hours than any other source I've looked at.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Great to hear! I'll see you on the Designer Level session December 23rd - we will be learning more techniques every month! Thank you so much for joining - Nancy

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

Thanks Nancy for an informative video. Just bought EQ a week ago and learned a few things.

[@jenniferdoud3568]

Best overview of EQ features I have seen.

[@60nonie]

That’s me, Nancy. Bought EQ7 did just two quilt and upgraded to EQ8 but somehow it stops there. I want to upgrade myself. Thank you Nancy.❤️

[@glenysdougall8926]

Thank you for a most informative video, I have just bought the software and was intimidated by the sheer variety of design options! You are a great teacher and am less frightened to begin my own designs.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks Glenys!! If you want to learn more about EQ and designing, please consider joining my Designer Level Membership - here is more information kzbin.info/door/L-lWGVL6aKLiwWWbFr19Fwjoin

Great video. The custom set is a very powerful tool, but it is tedious to use. One thing I do different - I do NOT use the shift key when placing a block on the table. I just click and drag it to wherever I want it. Then I use the adjust tool to change the size.

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

I wanted to do a diagonal set with washing and cornerstones. For some reason the blocks in the edges are triangles not squares. I might be missing something as I've not had EQ8 very long.

[@renaywitkowski5363]

I love lovelove your videos. You r so inspiring I am very new to quilting. Needed to pick up a hobby to keep me sane. And I always wanted to know what eq8 was about I have no internet where I live. Really is so hard to watch videos so I have to go to the library to view. Anyway I will be looking forward to view more from you P,ease keep up these interesting videos. Again you r such an inspiration

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are so welcome! Thank You - Nancy

[@llern3]

Fascinating! Thank you 😊

[@judylothian3481]

Thank you Nancy

[@robinkinley6851]

Great overview…well worth the time….

[@anitra7747]

I came late and then had a ton of interruptions so I’m coming back to watch it while it’s quiet. ☺️

[@lindsaychamberlain2929]

Thank you this was most informative. Xxx

[@BuildAQuilt]

Hi Nancy - this was a great tutorial. I had already watched the EQ8 videos, but yours was a great way to follow along and practice making my own quilt. If I join your Quilt Addicts level or Designer level would I have access to previous videos for that level? Thanks so much. - Diana

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Diana - yes you can see them although the best part is being part of the training sessions, asking questions as we go :)

[@BuildAQuilt]

Great. I'd love to do the sessions, but I'd like to see some of your previous sessions as well. Thanks. I'll be signing up today. Best, Diana

[@JP-np6rp]

Great class thanks Nancy.Very clear explanations. I have EQ6 and upgraded to 7 but have to admit I haven't really conquered it. Is it worth updating to 8 in your opinion?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Yes - EQ8 is a really big step from 7 - I didn't find a ton of improvement from 6 to 7 but there is a lot of improvements from 7 to 8 so yes, upgrade :)

[@sharonozereko5478]

Great intro! Just joined your design level today. Is this where I write the questions? Also, my particular interest is learning to use the drawing tools. They make me crazy!!!! Thank you!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Yes and yes - you can always email me at [e-mail] or use the community tab on KZbin.

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

Me too! I've just bought EQ after using Corel draw to design quilts and I miss basic things like align and being able to change line length. Also the snapping option, be useful to turn it off in Polydraw.

[@robinr5719]

Thank you for this video! If I join the Designer level, how many months can I go back and watch what I've missed? And on that note, how long are the zoom videos available after the live event in case I need to see the information a couple of times? Sometimes what I think I remember isn't what I really remember :)

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Robin, you can see all the videos and they are available as long as you are a member.

[@robinr5719]

@@QuiltingWithNancy Thanks for responding! I’ll sign up and looking forward to more of your classes!

[@shobhaananthanarayanan1601]

How to join the class

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hello Shobha - to be part of the monthly class you need to become at least a Designer Level member to my channel. Here is a link to the information. Let me know if you have any questions. kzbin.info/door/L-lWGVL6aKLiwWWbFr19Fwjoin

[@triciaphillips8560]

Can I import a picture of a quilt and then design on top of it?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Actually Susan, that's not how it works. You would be able to use a picture of a quilt design to use as the inspiration and then design it in EQ though.

[@enochjohnson2471]

bruhhhh I came here to learn the Ableton stock EQ wth is this

This video was a little difficult to follow.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Vicki - have you used your EQ much?
