its just to much of a bother to scan in exact fabrics.
Oh I agree I did try to scan them but it takes soooo long. I think I will try to just put colors that are close to my batiks and just go with the flow. Some times it is more fun that way.

You can try to copy the picture of the fabric from the manufacturers website or a website that sells it. Right click the picture, save picture as, change the file type to Bitmap(*.bmp), change the file name if you want, and save it into a folder you created to keep them all together. You can then import the fabrics into the program.

Hope this makes sense.
