EQ6 Simpliefied
 by Fran Iverson Gonzalez
An Easy Learning Guide

Here's your chance to take at-home classes from Fran Iverson Gonzalez!  This is the fifth of Fran's popular EQ "Simplified" book series.  She's taught thousands of beginning EQ students, turning them from novices to know-it-alls.  If you're someone who would rather sew than read manuals, but want to get the most out of EQ6, this book was written especially for you.

Sit down at your computer.  Open Fran's book.  And let her eight fun lessons teach you how to use tools that will open a whole world of original quilt designing.

EQ6 Block Book

An Illustrated guide to the Block Pattern in EQ6.

The EQ6 Block Book is a handy guide to the EQ6 Block Library.  Find blocks quickly by flipping through book pages rather than scrolling through files.  All 4100 EQ6 blocks are organized by category and style, just as they appear in EQ6.  Each is named, illustrated and indexed.

Use this book to find the blocks you want.  Then it's so easy to use the Block Library Search tools to deliver the blocks to you in EQ6.

Class Registration & Policy
  • You may register over the telephone, in the store, by email, or in writing.  We need your check, or credit card (with expiration date) at the time of registration.
  • Our teachers really work hard at not only preparing for classes, but also in keeping up with what is new and planning new classes.  In order to commit to them, we have the following policies:
  • If the class is under $20.00 we require your full payment at the time we write down your name - if the class is over $20.00, we ask for one-half of the fee.  You must cancel five days in advance - this means a Monday for a Saturday class - to receive your refund or credit.
  • Please be on time for class, with your sewing machine which you know how to operate.   We do not allow children or other visitors in class.
  • Thanks and have a good time!
