You Are Invited

While using DE, have you ever wished that you could see and access all your Tapestry supplements — you know, the week’s MapAids map for your upper grammar student, the Writing Aids Talking Points and cluster diagram for your dialectic student, and the Evaluations for each of your kids, and Poetics from the Loom for your oldest student — all from one easy computer interface as you’re preparing for the week ahead?  Have you thought how nice it would be if they were color coded as well so that you could see which files you might need at a glance? How about wishing that the supportive links on the Tapestry website were connected to the DE interface so you could browse them without losing your place in DE?  Wish no more… all these features and more are coming to you, starting this month!

We’ve spent the last several months preparing a major update of the Tapestry of Grace Digital Edition that is easier to install, easier to understand, and easier to use. We are truly excited about this!  We’re writing you today to invite you to a webinar that will demonstrate all the new features of this major upgrade. It is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8, at 3 PM Eastern.  You can register now for this free online event.  That will explain the new format and the new “print to digital” offer that goes with it (see below).

Because this is such a major update, involving many linked files in certain organizational schemes, we’d like user feedback from you before we finalize this project.  At the end of the webinar, we’re going to make public a link to a BETA copy of this new DE interface that is functional as a Year 1 sample (it will include most of the files for Year 1, Weeks 1-3). Since it will take us several weeks to receive feedback and to finalize all of the year-plans, we will invite you to test drive the new interface online before you download and install it.

Can’t make the webinar?  That’s ok!  We’ve created a new product page at our store for this free new sample.  We know your summer days are packed with fun activities, so just click here to register for an automatic email that will let you know when the sample is ready for you to explore!

Print to DE Upgrade Coupon

We’ve received a number of calls from those of you who wonder whether we can offer something like our half-price discount coupon for customers who bought Classic and wanted to move up to Redesigned Tapestry. At first, we thought there wouldn’t be much demand for a similar “printed Redesigned to digital Redesigned” coupon, but the calls have just kept coming. We know that our DE update is only going to increase the demand, so we’ve found a way to make it easy to add digital features to your printed copy of Tapestry. In our July newsletter that is coming out around the 15th of this month, we’ll be giving you details on the process and a special price for existing customers who want to get in on all the cool new digital magic!

Converting your Disc Supplements to DE

When you see and understand that our exciting new DE interface will give weekly access and organization to your supplemental products, you may wonder if you can trade in your disc-based products for new DE ones.  The answer will be “yes!”  At the webinar and in our July newsletter, we’ll explain to you the details of that process.  The good news is that there will be no charge for this upgrade!

Thanks for your partnership!

Please pray for us. This update to DE is truly exciting, and experience has taught us to take it slowly, one step at a time. We are so excited that we can include your feedback in this step.  Please be aware that, during this BETA phase, we will probably receive conflicting feedback and ideas.  We’ll need to choose the ideas that serve the greatest number of folks.  We will need God’s wisdom and grace as we make this improvement.  We are serving you as you serve God and your family, so let’s all join together to make Tapestry DE the best product that it can be in the coming school year!
