Kevin Key replied to Marija Vujcic's discussion EQ - how do you use it mostly? Any good tips? in the group Electric Quilt Users"I don't use EQ to it's full potential which is why I haven't upgraded to EQ7, yet, but I mostly use it to create custom labels which I print out on fabric. I import pictures, use text, use fun blocks as backgrounds and borders to my…"
Marija Vujcic commented on Tim Langlitz's group Electric Quilt Users"Leona that looks beautiful!!
Hope you will use some paper-piecing to make this, since Storm at Sea is not the easiest pattern to sew! :)
I often have so much fun designing and drawing in EQ and then I have to ask myself do I really want to piece all…"
"I recently installed EQ7 & couldn't print. Here's the fix from EQ that worked for me:
Click START > Computer > C drive > Program Files (x86)> Electric Quilt Company > EQ7 > right-click the EQ7 application…"
Marija Vujcic commented on Tim Langlitz's group Electric Quilt Users"Hi J Mac! One of the "secrets" to getting familiar with EQ is to use it regularly! Only then basic things will become second nature and you can go further - and that is way more fun! If you do it only occasionally, you forget most of what…"
Pamela White replied to Marija Vujcic's discussion EQ - how do you use it mostly? Any good tips? in the group Electric Quilt Users"I've been using EQ since EQ4 but didn't really get into it until EQ6. I absolutely love it and wouldn't want to try and make quilts without it now. I have started to explore custom sets and using several layers for my…"

Kathryn Bates replied to Marija Vujcic's discussion EQ - how do you use it mostly? Any good tips? in the group Electric Quilt Users"Marija - You've just solved a problem I've dealt with -- because I thought more snaps is better - but often find that I can't get symmetry because one or more of my lines just won't be straight. Having said that -- when I…"
Kathryn Bates replied to Marija Vujcic's discussion EQ - how do you use it mostly? Any good tips? in the group Electric Quilt Users"I draw my own blocks or modify existing blocks probably three quarters of the time. Since I use my embroidery machine to quilt, I need blocks that accept embroidery designs well. I have used the custom set only once, because I found that…"

Holiday projects
HI everyone,are you busy, busy sewing your holiday projects? Or (unlike me!) are all done and can relax now? Do you get inspired at this time of the year to design new holiday quilts and projects?I always am, and then of course one gets busy with actual holidays, cooking, shopping etc. and half of them get forgotten or half-made... SO! I decided this year to do something different! Realized recently that nothing gets me going and inspired like the company of my fellow quilters (near and far),…See More
Marija Vujcic replied to Lalena Stewart's discussion How do you get your design inspiration? in the group Quilt Designers"Oh my...not sure I have enough time to list all, lol! I guess it depends on what I am doing - if it is some experimental, non-traditional piece, just for me, it is mostly from nature - colors, flowers, hundreds of photos I take...
If it is for my…"
Marija Vujcic commented on American Quilter's Society's group Quilt Designers"Hi Lalena - I understand your addiction! :) I love my EQ7! Besides all the technical tools it gives, I love that when that inspiration strikes, I can translate it into a design so much quicker now! Now that you dived into the EQ5 - I highly…"
Marija Vujcic replied to QuilterBridget's discussion Thread painting in the group "come PLAY with me!" and CURVIES Rule"yup - hoop helps a LOT! Funny - I had that same reaction when I first saw it in the book! :)
