No, you do not have to own a scanner.
There are a couple of different ways to import fabric images into EQ. You can take a picture of the fabric with your phone's camera and upload it to the program (EQ has instructions on how to do this). You can also download and import fabric images from the internet. I find this to be the easiest, because most of the time when I take a picture of fabric, I get a moire effect.
EQ and Moda both have free downloadable files full of fabrics, I'm sure there are other sites as well, I'm just not aware of them. You can also right-click and save ANY fabric photo, it does not have to be in the EQ, Moda, or any other collection. It simply has to be an image file of the particular fabric you want to use.
