I make a folder to store all my fabric scans here:Īfter you’ve saved your scans, here’s how to import them into EQ7: It keeps the weave of the fabric from creating a moiré effect on screen (think about that crazy pattern that can happen when you see someone wearing a striped shirt on tv).
You can go larger, but if you import a lot of large fabric scans, EQ7 may get a bit sluggish.ĭescreen (or Magazine) – You may not have this option, but if you do, use it. Size: 500 x 500 pixels – This size is usually sufficient to give you an accurate depiction of the fabric. When I scan fabric I like to flatten it down on the scanner using a book.Įvery scanner has slightly different settings to choose from. Press it to get rid of wrinkles and make sure there’s no lint or stray threads on the fabric. The key to good fabric scanning is prepping the fabric. If you have a scanner, you can scan the fabrics and import them through the Fabric Library.
So you have fabric in your stash that you’d like to use in your quilt design. Here are your options for adding more fabrics to your EQ7. The fabric will disappear to let you know it’s been added (don’t worry, next time you visit the Fabric Library the swatch will be back!).ĮQ7 comes with a great selection of fabric built-in, but new fabrics are always being released so you want to be able to add new fabrics to your projects. When you see a fabric you like, click on it (look for the blue outline to know it’s selected) and then click Add to Sketchbook. They are broken into three sections: By Category, By Color, and By Manufacturer. EQ7’s Fabric Library has over 5,000 fabrics ready to use. On the top menu bar, click LIBRARIES > Fabric Library.It’s a great group of fabrics to start with, but let’s see how to add more fabrics to our project. You also have the option to use solid colors by clicking the Colors tab in the palette. Use the scrollbar under the swatches to see all the fabrics. The Fabric Palette appears with the default group of fabrics that EQ7 always starts with. Click the Paintbrush tool on the right toolbar. Click the Eccentric Star block in the Blocks Palette, then click the lower-left block space on the quilt to pop the block into place.Click the Set Block tool on the right toolbar.The quilt we created in Lesson 1 will be selected (because it’s the only quilt layout we’ve saved so far). Now click the Quilts section on the left.You’ll see the four blocks that we copied from the Block Library in the first lesson. Remember that the Sketchbook holds all the “ingredients” for our quilt designs.
Click on the project file name to select it, then click OK. Most likely, your project will be listed under Most recently used projects (unless you’ve designed lots of projects since our last lesson!). Click the Open an existing project tab in the Project Helper window and open your sew along project file, which we named “Jump Start Sew Along” in the first lesson.
