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.

Would make quilting life much easier. Would love the chance to give it a go.
what a wonderful opportunity to be able to enter for this great prize. Thank you
Would love this program!
Would love to win so I can design quilts using real fabrics and know how they will play together! So much fun!
I have never used a version of EQ. Those that use this software love it. It would be great to have a software application to answer “what ifs.”
I would love to win a copy of the new EQ8…thank you so much for this giveaway!
I had EQ5 before and gave up on it. This has to be so much easier to do than my drawings on graph paper. What a fun thing to win; just think of the quilts I could design. Thanks.
I would love to win a copy. I have been studying up on how to use it. Thanks for a chance to win it!
I’ve never owned EQ but I’m dying to try it! Wining one would be so awesome!
I have a question, can this be used as a standalone Or does it need another piece of software?
If it is a stand alone, I too would appreciate the chance to learn how to use it. Thank you
Oh, how I would love a copy!
Would love to win!
Would love to win a copy of EQ8 . It looks like a great tool to use when designing quilts.
Oh my gosh…….I want this software so bad! I’ve been bugging my husband every single day to order it for me for Christmas and he just ignores me! 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Been thinking about purchasing then decided to wait for EQ8 in the new year. Sure would be nice to win it (then I could spend the money I would had used on fabric!)
Would love to win eq8 had another program but not thrilled with it.
Would love to join the eQuilt family. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love to win this……thank you for the chance.
Oh, yes please!! I would love for the PC version to deck my halls for Christmas! ! (Its on my list, I’m just not sure Santa thought I was a good girl this year!!)
How amazing is right! Wonderful gift for under the tree!
Have never used a software program to design a quilt – what a a great opportunity! Thank you.
Yeah! I have been waiting for a more intuitive, user friendly version of EQ.
This is so exciting! The new upgrades sound amazing!
A great giveaway! Thanks for a chance to win.
I am a new quilter, just into it for less then a year. I didn’t realize there was a true Quilting software. What an amazing help this would be.
I could finally lose the graph paper!!
I’d love a chance to move to electronic rather than grid paper in my quilt designing! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I’ve been quilting for a few years now, but am just starting to design my own from scratch–would love to try EQ! Thanks for the chance to win!
This is an awesome giveaway! Thanks!
I would love to try EQ8 – have been reading lots of reviews – so much better than old pencil and paper! (And eraser…and scratching out….and miscalculating….)
I would love to win a copy of EQ8 for my PC. Thank you for the chance to win
Thanks for the chance to win EQ8, it sounds great & has my quilting ideas working overtime!
Have EQ6 and love it. Was thinking about upgrading so winning would be a treat.
Surely would beat using a pencil and graph paper like I currently do😌😌😌
Someone is going to be extremely happy with this gift. I will just dream about it for awhile. Thanks for the chance.
WoW! I’d love to win this! I’m always amazed and impressed after seeing what EQ8 can do. There were several designers during the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blog Hop that used EQ8 to design their block., were able to show different layouts and with different fabrics. I can only imagine all the hours of fun that can be had.
Super giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!

I am definitely interested in exploring EQ8.
This is definitely on my wish list.
I never even knew this program existed. It would be such a time saver when planning quilts.
EQ8, very exciting. Would love to win it.
EQ 7 is gres! I would love to upgrade it to EQ 8! Thanks for the opportunity.
It would be amazing to win a copy of EQ8 and start to get quilt designs out of my head and be able to bring them to life!
Thank you for the chance.

I would love to give the Mac version a try! Listened to a podcast interview with the owners and was so impressed!
Winning a copy of the new EQ8 would be the bright star for me after a challenging perioid. It would be a true thrill.
Ooh, pick me, pick me! I’ve been wanting this for a while.
A friend of mine has a version of EQ and I have always been fascinated at what she designs. I would love to win a PC version. Thank you for the opportunity to possibly win this amazing software.
This is such a great opportunity! I have liked EQ7. I thought that was it. It was the first and last that I found. It is such a great tool. Having an updated version would send me over the moon!
