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).
