Author: Angie Padilla Lesson book for Electric Quilt 7 (EQ7) software. Learn to draw appliqué from a pro! Angie Padilla teaches you from the beginning how to draw and edit appliqué patches to create spectacular blocks. If you already have Angie Padilla’s EQ6 Applique Drawing, don’t buy this book. If you don’t have it already, grab it while you can. You’ll love how it will help you draw!

Although EQ with Me companion books are written for EQ7 PC, they work as well for EQ7 Mac with only a few keystroke differences.

ELECTRIC QUILT 8 IS HERE! The newest version of Electric Quilt software, EQ8, was released in Fall of 2017! Ask for EQ8 at your local quilt shop, or get it now here.

These books are for EQ7 software and are not directly compatible with EQ8 software. EQ8 has been redesigned so the lessons do not translate well to the new version.

About the Author

Angie Padilla was born in the USA and raised in Quito, Ecuador. A self-taught quilter, Angie’s initial interest in sewing actually lay in garment making. Quilting slowly started to take over and eventually evolved into a passion. Angie’s parallel love of computers and Internet technology naturally led to the creation of a website which continued to grow over the years and which today showcases her quilt patterns: www.ajpadilla.com. Angie also created the My Dream House CD, won the EQ Anniversary contest, and placed second in the Single Maker category for the Do You EQ? Contest.
