We are excited to bring you a series of Technique classes for the Designer Epic, Designer Epic 2 and Epic 980Q machines. This is something that has been asked for time and again and we are now going to do the classes via Zoom. Each month we will present a new topic. The first half of the class will explain how to do a technique(s) and the second half will discuss the project provided using the technique.
Some months will only be for the Designer Epic 2 as the feature is only available on that machine. Other months the technique is available for all three machines.
Each class will be recorded so that if you are not available on the particular day and time, you can still participate.
