More information about our publications:
WORKSHOPS on CD-ROM for PC:
Our complete workshops on CD-Rom offer detailed information and
hundreds of full color close-ups of every step in Caryl's techniques.
For the same price as the average how-to book, you get far more
than we could ever include in a book or pattern. We think this is
the "how-to book" of the future. Unlike a video, where
you have to think as fast as the teacher speaks, you can study each
image as long as you like and scroll forward or backward until you
are sure you understand the information. The CD's are organized
in chapters, so you can pick up where you left off in your project.
PLEASE NOTE: These are CD-ROMS
for your PC computer. They are not movies or DVD's and will not
play on your TV set.
MAC: Some of the newer Apple computers with dual boot systems
have been able to run our CD's, but we can't promise that they will
run on yours.
Please be patient
No special software is needed. The program opens automatically when
you put the disc into your CD drive. HOWEVER there are lots
of graphics on our CDs so they may take longer than expected to
open. Depending on your computer and the speed of your CD drive,
it could take over a minute for the program to open. Take a deep
breath, do some stretches or have a cup of tea:)
* If your IT person has disabled your "auto-run" feature,
you may need to "explore" the CD folder under "My
Computer" and double click on the program file.
* If your CD drive is slow, you can copy the program file onto your
hard drive and it may run faster.
GUARANTEE: We test all of our CDs to make sure they work
before they leave our studio. If an elephant sits on your CD or
if it has been damaged in any other way when it arrives, we will
be happy to replace it within 30 days. We can not be responsible
for the operation of CD's which have been stored for extended periods
of time in environments that we cannot control.
RECOMMENDATIONS: People often ask us the recommend the CD
that gives the most information. Naturally we can't include everything
on one CD, so depending on your personal goals or interests here
are some recommendations.
| COLOR: The most complete
information about how Caryl gets her eye-dazzling color effects
can be found on the Feather Study #28 CD. Color
is also discussed on the CD's for Soaring Compliments
and Migration Wall Hanging. |
| TECHNIQUE: Caryl shows
you every step of every technique from cutting out the pattern
to sewing on the binding and hanging sleeve on the Soaring
Compliments CD. Caryl's applipiecing technique for curved
piecing is also included on the CD's for Migration Wall
Hanging, Feather Study #28, Square Dance. |
| MACHINE QUILTING:
Naturally our Drawing with Thread: The Fine Art of Machine
Quilting will have the most information about the nitty
gritty details of machine quilting. We also cover some machine
quilting techniques on the CDs for Migration Wall Hanging,
Soaring Compliments, and Illusion. |
| DESIGN: The Square
Dance CD covers how to draw and mark your own pattern
for Applipiecing® as well as all the details you
need to master this fast, easy, and accurate technique. |

PATTERNS:
Please read the individual descriptions to see what is included.
- Some of our titles are complete patterns with step by step instructions.
- Some are patterns only (without instructions) for those who
have already learned the techniques.
- Some patterns come with very basic instructions for the techniques
with more detailed instructions and a gallery of inspiration available
in a separate complete workshop on CD.
- Some are just instructions for techniques which you can use
to create your own original designs. These would include Creative
String Piecing, High Tech Tucks, and Spinning Hexagons.
Why we sell some of our patterns and instructions on separately:
We don't think you should have to pay for what you don't need. Many
people just want to learn Caryl's techniques in order to create
their own original designs, so we sell our complete workshops on
CD separately from the full size patterns. Others have taken Caryl's
workshops and already know the techniques. They just want the printed
pattern. Some of our patterns are also versions of older, one-of-a-kind
work that was never intended to become a pattern. Due to multiple
requests, we have reproduced copies of the patterns for these pieces
without instructions.
