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.
This giveaway is open through the end of the month, November 30, 2017 and is open to all. Simply leave a comment on this post and I’ll choose one at random and notify the winner via email.

So excited about eq8
My 4H quilt club members would love this. We use EQ7 now, but an upgrade would be awesome!
What a great opportunity. I’ve never designed with a computer before. Graph paper has been my go-to tool.
What a great product! Please pick me! 😀
The last version of quilt software was many years ago. it would be interesting to see how far the software has come! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I have always wanted to try designing my own projects, and would love the assistance of EQ8! It would be a whole new exciting learning curve for me!
Would LOVE to own and use EQ8❣️
I have never used a program like this, but would love to start designing with it! Always sounded fun.
This would make my life so much easier ☺️
I just upgraded from 6 to 7 and love it. This version seems to address a few of the issues I had with 7. Would love to upgrade again!
I have never used any version of a quilt design program but would love ti try it!
I have EQ 7 & would love to win an upgrade to EQ 8!
WOW!!! Yes please! This is at the top of my Wish list!
Oh my goodness!! 😜 What an amazing giveaway!!
Have had EQ5 for a while, but no disc drive in MacBook Air, so a digital download would be awesome! I’ve had a very productive 2017, finishing a bunch of UFOs, and would love to dabble in design in 2018.
Well now wouldn’t this be a fantastic Christmas present! Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to upgrade my eq7 for the new pic version
I have been dreaming about this software! I’ve tried other programs but they just don’t seem to do what I’m imagining EQ can do!
I have been dreaming about this software!!! I’ve tried other ones, but they just don’t do what I’m imagining EQ can do!
I would love to try out EQ8. I have never used a computerized designing system, and it sounds like the upgrades in EQ8 make it the right time to try! Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity.
I hadn’t realized that it had been so long between versions! What a great upgrade!
Good luck everyone. Someones gonna have fun designing new quilts!
I’ve been wanting EQ for awhiles 😍 it would be amazing to win it!! Thank you for the chance!
Glad to hear EQ8 is available for Mac. Ready to move from pen and paper to digital design!
I’ve been looking at EQ7 and I’m glad to read that EQ8 is easier to use than EQ7.
It’s nice to know that it’s available for the Mac.
I have never used Electric Quilt. This would be my chance.
Getting a copy of EQ8 would be the best gift ever! I’m on disability, so I can’t even think of buying it, but I would love to be able to design quilts when I’m recovering from the total knee replacement I’m due to have in January. .Jadahlgr at Yahoo dot Com
This would be so awesome! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
So excited. Can’t wait to try it out.
All the previews I’ve seen of EQ8 look so great! Would love to win a copy!
What great news! I had been debating about upgrading my EQ5 to v7 but will check out the new release! How wonderful to know the creators haven’t gone the yearly subscription route of other software developers. Looking forward to seeing what’s new in EQ8!
EQ 8 for the Mac! Very nice!
I’d love this on Mac. I’m totally ready to start designing quilt patterns myself and maybe with this I could share them too.
WOW! This would be awesome. Good luck everyone.
I would love to have this version! thanks for the chance! (celiaambrose@hotmail.com)
I’m happy to see that EQ8 comes in a Mac version. I’d love to win! Thank you, and Penny and Dean.
Wow. The amazing projects that I can’t even imagine with this software. I would love to win – thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you so much for this chance! At 72 YO, I don’t have enough time to continue using 4-to-the-inch graph paper, colored pencils, & erasers (lots of erasers) to design all the Quilts I still want to do. The EQ8 MAC program would sure help me out! 😍
Thanks for the chance to win! The possibilities with this program are amazing!
I am excited to see a new version of EQ, and I am more excited to have a chance at winning a copy. It would open creative new doors!
This would be so cool. I could be my own designer.
What a wonderful Christmas present this would be for me! Would need the PC version.
EQ has been on my wish list for several years..would love to win!
Owning my own copy of EQ8 would be a dream come true! So many designs run through my head and this would give me what I need to put them together and play with colors and fabrics! How awesome to share one with a reader!
I’m so excited that this long awaited EQ8 is finally available. Thank you!
I love eq7 and would love an upgrade to eq8! Thanks for chance to win!
