Your videos have helped immensely. A couple of us want to start on this journey for 2025 and your video component with EQ8 is FANTASTIC! Thank you! :)

I’m so glad you have this video. I’ve always been curious about EQ8 and I want to start a Dear Jane. I think you did a great job. I am looking forward to watching more.

[ConnieWilliger]

Thank you for this! I am about to start my quilt, I’ve been collecting fabrics for a while and I just have to get the background fabric and I’ll be good to go. I’m a bit behind but I plan to follow your videos as I go along. I’ve not done paper piecing before but you make it look fairly simple so thanks again and greetings from South Australia ❤

I completed 4 blocks before I saw your video. I cut them all out by hand and then stitched them together, I didn't realize I could do the paper piecing which has been sooo much easier. Thank you so much for your effort it is greatly appreciated. Love using EQ8 and you are right, I am learning a lot just by doing this quilt. 12 blocks completed only 213 to go🙂

[deenakohls]

i have EQ8 and haven't learned much about it yet. and i have the Dear Jane book, so this is perfect. I'm happy to find your sew along and you have inspired me to get started on it. Yes please, the amount of information seemed great to me.

[enidroets]

I only found you now. I have EQ8 and Dear Jane add on but have to learn how to use them both. Thank you so much for your awesome video.

[coribeckett]

I’ve finished my week 1 set. It was a journey to decide how to work with the curves. I decided that I will appliqué curves going forward. Thank you for the tutorial. It helped me tons with EQ8. ❤

[gloriahaney]

I have the EQ8 add on for Dear Jane and just decided to start it. I'm just finding your SAL and I'll be working to catch up. Or I may start where you are and work backwards on the others. Thank you for sharing how you are working through this 225 block quilt. I hope I can stick with it!

[yhsmomo]

All ready made one but it's been awhile. I used EQ. I wish this sight was available back than...I plan on following along. It took me 3 years.

[kathydunn]

[nancybenolkin]

[renasiscoe]
