You are going to just love your new Qbot. Did you also get the 4D Quilt Design Creator software? It'll allow you to create your own designs, including designs with background fills like stipple and crosshatching. I've had mine for a year now and really enjoy using it. Also, make certain the Qbot is version 2.07 or greater. If not, you'll be missing out on some useful features. But you can send it in to be upgraded for a small fee, if it's still version 1.3.
