Class Overview
In this class, we will combine the power of EQ8 quilt design with the ease of fabric die cutting. The AccuQuilt GO! Qube system is made up of building blocks in a four-patch design grid that make up some of the most common blocks already available in Electric Quilt. Use those blocks to design beautiful quilts, try colors and fabrics and then when you are ready, use your AccuQuilt GO! Cutter to cut your fabric.
Please note: This class will focus on the EQ8 design process for compatible blocks and quilts. No die cutters will be used.
This class was offered at previous EQ Academy workshops and will cover the same material.
Course Topics
- Discover existing EQ8 blocks that are compatible with the GO! Qube System
- Edit blocks to use the die cutting patch shapes

- Design beautiful quilts with your die cutter-compatible blocks
- Tips to design your own blocks using EQ8 templates and rotary cutting charts

This was a fantastic, energetic, & fun experience learning the EQ8 software. I couldn’t have asked for better instructors. They really wanted you to learn & were so helpful. I would highly recommend signing up for these classes. Thanks to EQ for having these in-person classes.

This was my first time at the EQ Academy. And it was worth the wait! I learned so much, and came back home and started using what I learned right away. Created my first table runner in EQ8 and actually finished it. Can’t wait to start another project AND attend another class. Thank you for everything.
