4D Software Elements

Our new software education program is called 4D Software Elements. This is the main picture that is the inspiration for the entire program.

 

We will take a single picture file from the main picture each lesson and create an embroidery file. We will use all the different elements of the 4D Suite package, however some lessons will only use single programs like 4D Embroidery Extra. Overall, each block can be put together in an artistic quilt. The goal of 4D Software Elements is to teach some of the great features we have in our 4D Software and also to use the different hoop sizes - including the creative Grand Dream Hoop and the Majestic Hoop.

The classes are $20 each and you must sign up for the first six ($120). After you have completed the first six classes, you will have the opportunity to take the last six. Linda Bostwick will be teaching at the Speedway location.

The basic requirements are that you own 4D Embroider Extra. If you don’t own the Suite or have a laptop, you can use one of ours and see what you are missing.

If you want to sign up or have additional questions, please e-mail or call Linda at linda@catheys.com (721-4000) or Mary at maryg@catheys.com (797-7100).
