    Hi,

    I am quite interested in EQ7, have read reviews, etc., and it sounds fantastic.
    I machine embroider and would love to include embroidered blocks in these quilts I am going to design using EQ7.....is this possible?
    Would I just import an embroidery design from my Designers Gallery program into EQ7 like it was a photo or ??
    Anyone who uses EQ7 and also embroiders out there, how, or does this work?

    Works just like you said. You have to convert your embroidery design to a .exp format. Then click on embroidery library, click import, navigate to design location, select it and import. Just remember that if you resize the embroidery file to fit a block that it does not affect the actual embroidery file and you would need to resize it accordingly when stitching out. But it is helpful to visualize what your quilt will actually look like. I love EQ7!

    I love EQ 7 and yes you can put the M.Emb blocks into a project. Complete instructions are in the book.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Appreciate the replies, I was guessing that I could get the embroidery into EQ7, but good to know for sure!
