EQ6 - Getting help

I make a point of stressing to all my EQ6 purchasers that the customer support offered by the Electric Quilt Company is second to none. In addition to contacting EQ directly with questions, you can also turn to the EQ help forums. There are seperate forums on installing and activating EQ6; on using EQ6; on designing blocks and quilts using EQ6.  You can browse through the questions and see if your particular problem is mentioned or browse just to learn tips on using the program.  Once you've registered with EQ, you can post your own questions.

I posted a question the other day in the 'Using EQ6' forum on 'Scanning Fabrics'.  I posted in the evening and Penny McMorris (founder along with her husband Dale of the Electric Quilt Company) answered my question first thing the next morning. By the way, my posting name is 'SkookumNarrows'.  Ever since I upgraded to EQ6, I have wanted to scan all the beautiful Jo Morton fabrics I sell and start designing blocks and quilts with them.  However, I was having some difficulty wrapping my mind around the process possibly due to using my Paint Shop Pro graphics program on a constant basis for picture and image design.  Penny clarified the issue for me and now I am ready to go.  I hope on the weekend to post a tutorial on the process and share my success with you all.

I agree with you on the EXCELLENT support and website offered for EQ6 users. Absolutely delightful!

I am eager to read your tutorial for scanning photos and pulling in fabric images to use in EQ6. I've not yet taken time to learn that feature, but am very interested. Your tutorial would certainly get me going in the right direction.

Do you ever eat the super big hamburger at the restaurant at Skookum Chuck Narrows? Yummy.

Hi SewCalGirl,

It sounds like you've paid a visit to Egmont, BC in the past. The village was my home for 14 years and I loved living there so much. However, I've moved south down the peninsula to Sechelt which is special in its own way.

Your posting has spurred me on. I will work that tutorial in the next few days.

Thanks for visiting and posting!

P.S. I never did tackle a Skookumburger. Everyone said it was yummy but it was too big for me...LOL!
