    Hi Leah,
    For presenting designs at workshops have a think about using a device with a touchscreen connected to a projector. Ideally I would like to see the process of a design drawn / stitched out as well as the final result (hope that makes sense) – that's why your videos work so well. My preference would be a tablet and wireless connection so you can draw for everyone to see from anywhere in in the room (I work in Professional Learning for teachers so use this a lot).
    Enjoy the rest of the time at mqx!

    I speak at tech conferences in a different field, and am always thinking how the setup I'm familiar with would work for teaching a group of quilters. 😀

    Basically instead of a projector the place has a screen for you that hooks up to your computer with a regular AV cord and is just screen sharing.

    So you could also jump out of your slides, if needed, and flip over to a drawing program in another window. Then while you do your thing in your laptop, the audience can see it on the big screen.

    I haven't tried the tablet & wireless setup tho. I usually use my ipad for extra notes in one hand (if needed) and a clicker to advance my slides, if they have it.

    Leah, I was in the wednesday class Feathers to Flames and came away very inspired! I have not done much machine quilting beyond a basic meander, so I am excited to practice my new skills. Thank you so muh for your inspired teaching and sharing what you have learned.
