Have you heard the great news? After years of patiently waiting, a new version of Electric Quilt software was released, just in time for Christmas! I’m sure you are all busy with your holiday shopping so here’s a fabulous gift you could win for yourself!!
Click here to learn more about EQ8!
Meet EQ8, with an updated interface, new features, and the same great capabilities you’ve come to know!
I have to share a fun behind the scenes story. Back in 2016 when I met the owners Dean and Penny for the first time while teaching at EQ Academy, I was impressed not only with their business sense, but it was heartwarming to see how much they cared about their customers. I asked if they would be releasing an updated version of the software since the previous version, EQ7 had been launched way back in 2010.
Even those these images say “coming soon” they are actually here now!!!
Dean’s answer really impressed me. He told me that he’d only release a new version if there was a market need for it. He said he didn’t want to follow in the footsteps the big software companies who release new versions year after year just so they could gouge their customers. He wanted to make sure that any new product the company created had enough value to justify the cost.
I love how thoughtful they were with releasing this software. Those who already own EQ6 or EQ7 can upgrade to the version at a lower cost, and those who haven’t ever owned it before can easily purchase and download it online without having to wait for anything to arrive in the mail.
This is my favorite thing about EQ8!
I’ve recently installed my version of EQ8 and just started designing new projects for upcoming patterns and online classes. So far it’s even easier to use than EQ7 and the interface is much more intuitive.
Once you start using this software, it will be hard to design without it!
Your Chance to Win!
My friends over at Electric Quilt are generously giving away a copy of EQ8. It comes both in PC and Mac versions and both version also include a comprehensive help manual already installed in the software.

Oh, how awesome that would be!
Thanks for the opportunity! I have pondered this software for quite awhile.
I have always wanted to try EQ, and this would be a perfect opportunity for me to win it. Thank you for putting it out there for all of us.
I’m a quilter and a lover of all things computer and computerized. I’ve designed only two quilts on my own. Most times I take a published pattern and modify it to suit myself. Doing this sometimes produces less that desireable results so I’d LOVE to try EQ8 to help with the math and layout.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful talents and for offering this as a prize.
Wow EQ8! I will try and persuade santa to deliver one. I’ve got EQ5 and I’m sure 8 is altogether different.
I’d love to win!i have eq7 and love it when I use it. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would enjoy learning how to use this quilting software. It would make creating easier.
Have never used a computerized quilt program before. Would love to have the opportunity to learn.
I’d love to utilize the EQ software to pare down my stash and organize it into projects, especially since I moved my quilt room to another area of the house. Please please please!!!!!
Well maybe by EQ10 I’ll be able to buy a copy, for now I’ll just enter contests
OMG I would love this, to design my own quilts instead of buying books. How amazing it would be!!!
