Quilting Software Census for Virtual Swaps and Round Robins
Well, since no-one has posted any objections to this - here's the list of
questions. Please send the replies to me - not the rctq. Anyone new to the group who doesn't know how to send an email response please ask through rctq without answering the questions, and someone will post instructions or email you direct. When I get all the answers I will compile the list and email it to everyone on the list. I will also post a regular notice on rctq saying the list is available. As more people acquire software they may need help and the list could provide some familiar contacts. And even those considering such a purchase may like to have a list of "friends" they can ask about the different packages available. Since "virtual" swaps are done by file transfer, if anyone knows of any size limits applied by their ISPs, be aware you may have a problem downstream. It's rare these days, but still happens. We will circulate a test file to find out when all the answers come in and sort out any hassles then. We will also have to address the problem of different versions of sof****e (eg. EQ5 reads EQ4, but EQ4 does not read EQ5). I assume the same would apply to Quilt Pro. But let's sort out who has what first. This list will not be posted to rctq unless it is asked for and agreed by all on the list at the time. Just fill in your answers under the questions. I know most have sent me at least some info but it is scattered over a total of 197 emails and posts now (and still counting), and I need to get it sorted out! I have no problem with my details being known so I have filled in my responses. Just overtype my answers with yours. ____________________________ The list looks long but it isn't really. I am just trying to cover all bases in one hit. ____________________________ name you want to be referred to by (probably your rctq "handle"): ## cheryl in oz email address (include any "NOSPAM" text you want to protect yourself but please let me know what needs to be removed - I have had trouble getting in touch with a couple of people because some of it wasn't obvious to me - duh! dummy me): ## msg or other im access: ## "catsatararat" on Yahoo software you have including version (eg. EQ4.1 or QP) ## EQ3, 4 and 5 (now use mostly EQ5) additional software (eg. Judy Martin Stars, Block Base, QMN) ## Judy Martin Stars Karen Stone Sew Precise Block Base Stash (various) Classic Applique - Folk and Baltimore QMN projects expertise - one being real newbie and four being "long time user" ## probably a 3.2 willing to help newbies by im or email - yes or no ## yes, absolutely want help to learn basics - yes or no ## probably no want help to expand use of beyond the basics - yes or no ## yes, always interested in learning interested in a virtual block swap - yes or no (everyone designs one block, we all swap and design a virtual quilt, then show our designs) ## yes interested in a virtual Round Robin - yes or no (same as RR quiltmaking, you design the centre and pass on, we design borders, you get finished design back) ## yes NOTE: Anyone taking part in a swap of files has to be aware they are giving access to their design, so be clear about that. If you want to keep "ownership" of a design (say, for publication as a professional designer) DO NOT send the design around in a swap. The suggestion was made that a buddy system would help newbies. If you want a one-on-one contact to help you learn, or you are willing to be a contact for helping someone else, tell me here. ## I am happy to tutor anyone having problems if I can. I have different versions of EQ in different directories so I can "translate" most files between versions if needed If anyone has any additional ideas or suggestions for "swaps" please drop a few words in here. ## -- Cheryl ^;;^ ^;;^ ^;;^ U U U Enness Boofhead Donut http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest (Don'y forget to replace the DOT) |

hi cathy,
this needs to be sent to cheryl so she can collate all the folks replys into one file on her puter and send out the results to all those who do reply. its also a good idea to despam your return email addy when posting to the newsgroup. i can see you use mozilla and i've not a clue how to do it there, sorry. maybe one of the folks on the list cheryl is putting together can advise on this. i use outlook express to read/post to the ng. have fun, jeanne using yahoo msg'r is a real bonus cuz you can work together in real time, instantly rather than wait for emails that might not be as clear to you as you'd like -- san-fran at ihug dot co dot nz nzlstar on yahoo msg'r http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar "Cathy" wrote... name you want to be referred to by (probably your rctq "handle"): ## Cathy in Vancouver email address (include any "NOSPAM" text you want to protect yourself but please let me know what needs to be removed - I have had trouble getting in touch with a couple of people because some of it wasn't obvious to me - duh! dummy me): ## msg or other im access: ## software you have including version (eg.
