Introduction
Version 8 of was a complete rewrite of the "Advanced Training Autopilot Mach 3 For The Innova" self-study, multi-media training and reference course materials by Forever In Stitches over a half year period. The rewrite was necessitated by two factors: 1) Our observation of the needs of the longarmers taking the workshops; and, 2) The enhancements made to the Mach 3 system by Innova required new videos and approaches to the projects.
Please note: Version 8 of these materials are designed for use with M-Series machines upgraded to version 1.4.2.1 (or higher) and Classic machines that have chosen to upgrade to the latest C2 software. [IMPORTANT: If you are a Classic machine owner and have chosen NOT to upgrade to the C2 software, you will need to purchase our Version 7 bundle of these training materials.]
There is nothing like these materials available anywhere or from anyone - dealer or Innova, itself. On these pages we are focusing on "Advanced Training Autopilot Mach 3 For The Innova," itself, even though it is now sold as a bundle that includes "Be Creative With Your Mach 3".
The materials included in the course are:
- Projects and exercises that cover and explore ALL the Functions of the Autopilot Mach 3 software.
- A workbook printed in full color, of 182 pages.
- It includes 623 illustrations.
- It includes 20 chapters.
- There are 5.02 hours of focused videos that cover the projects and additional comments.
- 11 videos (Windows MP4 HD) that follow the workbook step-by-step. The view of the quilt and the screen are shown simultaneously so that the impact of Project's steps can be fully understood.
- We have expanded the number of projects to 8 to accomodate three edge-to-edge techniques; highlighting three methods of relating the Mach 3 screen to the physical quilt. The remaining 5 projects are dedicated to exploring the functions related to custom quilting.
- The projects include creating your own design elements as well as modifying a pattern.
- There are innumerable exercises included within the 8 projects, and many more individual, fully illustrated steps.
- Also included are 17 pages of "Hints, Tips & Techniques".
- 22 digitized designs that are used in the 8 individual projects. These do not include those you will be creating.
- 14 additional "Extreme Volume E2E" projects that demonstrate high through-put and high profitability including quilting with 14 associated patterns.
- All designs, whether with the 8 course projects or included with the Extreme Volume E2E projects, are yours to use in your longarming projects.
- A separate 16-GB V3 USB drive to hold all of the projects, patterns, and videos.
- Four individual, one-on-one, on-line, technical support sessions with the author, Ruth Grihalva.
Below are three sample pages from the workbook and a 7 minute section of the video that corresponds to it. It is from Project #3, at the end of the Project., beginning on page 15.
What you will experience are:
1) A display of the finished block; 2) Converting a square block into a triangle; 3) Placing the triangle in the appropriate quilting area; and, 4) Using the "invisible square" to line up the two objects.
