Class Overview

Looking for the next step after taking the 2-day beginner class at a previous EQ Academy? This class is for you! Take what you’ve learned in your previous courses and expand that knowledge with intermediate skills and techniques presented by EQ expert, Yvonne Menear.

In this two-day series, you will move beyond the basics and explore the more powerful features of EQ8. Spend time on all three worktables, learn to think outside the box, and design quilts beyond your dreams.

This is a 2-day class. Enrolling in this class requires that you attend both days.
