Online quilting class registration now open!
Posted By margaret on May 6, 2009
Registration is now open for the next online quilting class beginning June 27.
In this class you’ll learn to use software to create your own custom pattern for your portrait or pictorial quilt. Imagine that! Your very own photo comes to life in fabric.
You don’t need to know how to use the software because in the very first screen capture video I’ll show you how to use the tools you’ll utilize to create the patterns.
After completing lesson one, a student currently taking the online class, has allowed me to use her email note:
“Hi, Loved the class. I learned more about Photoshop Elements from this one set of lessons than in the 2 years I have been using it.
Attached are my homework photos for Session One.”

This is a four-week class complete with screen capture tutorial, handouts, and homework. You don’t need to be on your computer at any specific time.
You may watch any or all of the videos from three choices of software. You may use Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or the FREE software, Gimp. Watch the video and pause it to work along, after you’ve completed an area, go back to the video and continue watching, it’s that easy. Or, watch the videos completely and then try it yourself. I’ve covered the same materials in each piece of software and in the videos; however, I may have explained it a little differently, so if you would like to watch any or all of the software videos, go for it.
If you use a PC and would like to use the free Gimp, go to: www.opensourcewindows.org.
If you use a MAC and would like to use the free Gimp, go to: www.opensourcemac.org.
The videos are QuickTime movies. If you can’t see the sample screencast tutorial, you’ll need to download the FREE software at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. This link is software for both PC and MAC.
To help get you acclimated to the online class, we’ll have an orientation beginning June 20. If you’ve never taken an online class, this one is for you. It is easy to understand, and follow. If you have any questions, just ask!
I’ll set up new session each Saturday at 10 am. You don’t need to be at your computer at any specific time. You work on the class any time, day or night. I’ve set up Sat. at 10 am so you’ll know when a new session is available.
