Put on your seatbelts and sharpen your note taking pencils! This class will give you at least 101 great pointers on ways to improve your productivity, help customers collaborate with you, use free tools & pattern organisation, marketing, organizing idea's, records and showcase your work for free on the internet etc.
Creative Studio Stand Alone Mode (S.A.M.)
2hrs
Demo/lecture
Lay out full quilts in SAM to show your customer exactly how their quilt will look, so often secondary patterns are created that you didn't anticipate looking at individual patterns. Learn to use this to your advantage! This class is a great overview of Creative Studio, we'll also review how to save images so you can send them to the customer for approval. A whole cloth quilt will be designed during this class using some of the 3500 free patterns you have the ability to access.
Divide, Fills and Trims: What to use and when.
2hrs
Demo/lecture
These and other Creative Studio functions allow us to create spectacular quilting, but they can create complications and unnecessary time to quilts if they're not properly applied. Real life quilt examples will be used to demonstrate these functions and select the best tool for the job. A must for the C.S. Custom quilter!
Getting the most out of the latest Creative Studio version and functions.

Gammill do a great job of providing us fantastic features and improvements to old functions on the release of a new Creative Studio version.

Creative Studio Tips and Tricks.

Demo/lecture
We complete hundreds of quilts each year, or if you're getting started you soon will be.
