MQS Art and Stitch

[Gator]

Did anyone take Loes "Art and Stitch" software class? What did you think of the program? I'm thinking about getting it, but like any software it's expensive.

Love it! Bought it and took the class. It's easy to learn by following her videos and only the surface has been scratched as to what it can do. But......finding the time to play and learn it more and not let the quilting go too long.

Connie sent you a U2U.

Hi Connie - I went to a different intro class than Laura. Mine was a demo.

Loes showed us how to add motifs and shapes to our quilts. But the Wow factor, for me, was

that you can use Art and Stitch to add fill to that motif our shape. You can add it to the inside for

a very unique look or add one of dozens (hundreds?) of fills around the outside of the motif/shape

to make a wonderful trapunto look.

I downloaded the trial software and it is easy to use. The trial is full-featured but you just can't save

what you create.

Give it a try.

I won Art and Stitch at MQS. I have been playing with it without reading the manual and it has some really cool features. I need to read and play and learn all it can do. They refer to the digitizing aspect of the software as embroidery digitizing. It saves in all formats for embroidery and longarms, even dxf.

JoAnn you are one lucky girl! This software looks absolutely fabulous!

Is it best to play with it first, and what about the embroidery part of the software, I do not want to design embroidery, just read in some redwork and other embroidery patterns and use them in QP.
