(locate your scan/picture and double click on it)
Add to Sketchbook
Close.
When you click on the paintbrush (Sketchbook fabric and colors), it's the last fabric. Just paste it into your quilt.
The size of the scan of the fabric will appear on quilt in many pieces. Here is an Electric Quilt drawing with the hostas fabric inserted into the background.
