Do you want to share your EQ designs with others on the board?

First you have to convert your EQ files to PDF files using a program called a PDF writer. I use this one:

http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

It's free and easy to use. To convert the block or quilt to a pdf file just select your print option (in your EQ program) and then select the cutepdf writer as your printer. It will automatically save the blocks and quilts as a pdf in a folder of your choice.

I am using this website to store my EQ and PDF files:

http://www.box.net

It's free for a small amount of storage or you can pay if you need larger storage.

Here are step by step photos explaining how to do this.....

Oh thank you so much for sharing this info! I have been struggling with that exact question for quite awhile. I have a pile of quilts patterns and couldn't figure out how to share them lol.
Again, thank you!

I have EQ5, I have downloaded the cutepdfwriter from your link, and tried to follow all the steps, but after I've selected the cute PDF writer on the page setup and clicked okay I don't get the box that comes up to ask me to name the file and to choose a folder to save it in. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry thimblebug but I don't know how to help with this. I don't know why the last window won't pop up for you. It may be a problem with the cutepdf installation. Maybe you could try reinstalling it? I wish I could help you. :(

Testing.....hope you can bear with me, if I can try to get this figured out here, as unfortunately you can't see what's happening on the preview screen.
