LinneaMarie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've been taking the CL classes on another forum! All I can say is WOW!!! Deb Levy. She's doing the ZigZag/Wave this week. I can't believe the versatility!! Now that template is on my "I want" list!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewcrazy4quilting Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 If she has the fever there is only one cure! Mine is suppose to arrive today! I keep looking longingly down the driveway, the little voice in my head saying "is it here yet....is it here yet......". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewcrazy4quilting Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 This is what my driveway looks like... (first time trying to post a pic, so if it doesn't work imagine a verrry snowy place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewcrazy4quilting Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ok so that was pretty easy! After seeing all the troubles people have sometimes posting pics here I was holding my breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsequilter Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 There are circle lord classes (that was mentioned in a previous post) right now on mqresource.com The previous classes I have taken on this site are top notch and although I do not currently have a CL I read the description of the classes and was sure they would be very informative.

Mary Beth Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yikes...you may need to meet the UPS man down the street....that looks like a lot of snow! Yes, she does have CL fever....and it's taking over her life!! The other forum, teaching the CL classes is MQR - Machine Quilters Resource - you can google it. You do need to pay for the classes and the teacher - Deb Leavy is actually the real CL Queen! She does beautiful work. I am a couple of days behind on watching the video, but you have a while to watch the videos. It has started out kind of slow for me, but I have the Zig-Zag and have used it many times, but I am sure it will be more advanced on these next few days....and I will be on the edge of my seat!

LinneaMarie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yes, Linda! It is on the MQResource Forum. It runs through December this year! This is the first week, and I'm pretty sure you can still sign up for classes. I am a Premier member (about$28./yr) so I got a discount on the classes. $136. for all 11 classes!! WOOHOO!! The only problem is now I am adding to my CL wish list!! Did I say that was a problem?? hahaha You know, Michael has the "easy payment plan", and I will be paid off this month! So, time to buy MORE!!! Kim, your drive way is very pretty in the snow! And I'm sure w/o it too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewcrazy4quilting Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 UPS came to deliver CL Yeah....he got stuck turning around, I was really glad my DH was here to pull him out.

Sparkle Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm taking the CL classes over on MQResources to Kim! I just got my Circle Lord (used) and today I loaded a big muslin quilt sandwich to practice on. I don't have the Wave template boards, but I have watched the videos--several times so I don't miss anything the first time, and to absorb it all! Deb Levy is a great teacher. My used CL also came with the Aztec, Gingko, Cross hatch and Double Spiral Template. I do wish the CL classes did not take a whole year! I'm learning so much with just this months class. I can hardly wait for next month's class, and I really don't want the year to go by fast---but, I love seeing Deb's first class. I can only imagine what the rest will be like.

yankiequilter Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Angie, congratulations on getting a Circle Lord. I can tell you are enthused about it and know you will really enjoy using it and the beautiful quilting that results from its use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonbon Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I signed up for the classes too. BUT the videos don't play smoothly for me. They stop and start continuously. We are on wireless internet so I'm not sure if I've made a mistake $$ or not. I would love to watch the videos while trying out my templates. Any advice? Frustrated.

IBQLTN2 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I can't wait till next month I am taking just 6 of the classes and next month is on the basic CL, I hope to learn lots of new tricks on that one. Does anyone know if they send emails when the video's for the class start or however they do it? thanks I am anxious to learn lots of new things too and I know some new templates will be on my wish list as well.

RoseCity Quilter Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I too am taking the CL classes on MQResource! I just got my CL Basic last week, so it is really good timing for me! I'm afraid my wish list will get really long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Don't be afraid...remember the payment plan Bonnie, any way to connect to the internet?? I dont' get that wireless thing...I alway thought there has to be a lead somewhere. Kim, Yeah!! You have the CL in you hands....get ready to have some real fun quilting now!! I knew that driveway was going to be trouble!! I agree, I wish the classes didn't take a year....but I'm thinking this will give us time between videos to really play with the template shown and we will fell very comfortable with it by the time the next template comes up in the class. If we practice after each video we should have some dang good quilts!!! I'm so excited to see what you all do with your CL....well, and me too. I can't wait to get at it!!

Bonnie, What I find works for is to click the play button , then click on it again to pause the video. It will still carryon loading. If you can wait till it is fully loaded, you should find it plays better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonbon Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks MB. The wireless is internet. Our alternative was (past tense) dial up. That did not work at all. I think I need to upgrade the router. We are new at this wireless stuff so guess we'll spend more $$ for speed. Kath~I'll try your pause suggestion. Thanks!

What some people have to do is to hi t the play button the push the pause button to let it load then watch it at a later time. I have to do that everyonce in a while.Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi Stuart, I don't think I have said this, but welcome to the APQS chat! Have you signed up for the entire year of classes? I think, what would be a great idea, is to have the video. That way you can watch a little, pause it and rewatch it, then try out the template as taught...then put your own spin on it. Take the time to just practice, play and have fun. That's just my opinion. Even if you have paid for the classes, the video would be of great benefit. Also, if there is not a disclaimer on the MQR site, or a warning that lets you know that - if you have wireless internet or dial-up or satillite, then the class video may be of poor quality. That's just what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I signed up for the 11 classes, too. Things didn't work out just right for the first 3 days - no access to the videos, but as of yesterday I was able to watch the Zig Zag class. Deb sent me an e-mail telling me I was "good to go." She 's such a nice lady and so talented, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
