Look out - here comes EQ7!
All you techie types, get ready - Electric Quilt 7 is coming! We at Sew Inspired are very excited about this! There are some really cool features in this new version. Viv's favorite is the new Photo Patchwork function. This allows you to import a photo into the program, pixilate it, and use the image to create a photo-patchwork quilt. Other cool upgrades include drag and drop blocks, 480 new block designs, 5,000 new scanned fabrics, and many, many more. You can check out the "top ten" list of new features , and a complete list .
Electric Quilt is running a special pre-release pricing offer we are really excited about. If you call or stop by the shop before May 31, you can reserve your fully copy of EQ7 for $142 (savings of $47.95), or the upgrade version for $58 (savings of $31.98). Reserved copies require prepayment. To use the upgrade version, you need to already have a copy of EQ6; unfortunately older versions of EQ (version 5 or lower) are not compatible with the upgrade software. The software will begin shipping in early June.
In addition, keep an eye out for more details regarding a demo session of the new software. Also coming this summer is an "Electric Quilt 7 101" class taught by our in-house tech guru, Sandy. This is a great class for learning the software from scratch as well as picking up some new tricks and tidbits that comes with the upgrade!
