Thanks Rhonda for another wonderful lesson. It makes me feel good that I can now do some of the things I was hoping to do when I bought this program. You are a great teacher! Manuals are good if you know what you want to do and what it is called. I wear out lots of indexes looking for what I need. And I learn best by doing or seeing it done. Do you know if we
can scan in a pattern block or quilt and use that in EQ somehow? Another thing I'd like to learn. Thanks again!

Thanks Rhonda. I will print this out and use it. I had figured out how to do some of it but not the "proper" way. LOL. Scanning in fabric was one reason I bit the bullet and bought EQ7 in the first place. So I could see how it looks with the fabrics that I bought.

What exactly are you wanting to do with a pattern block or quilt?

When I started scanning I didn't know about DPIs so I scanned at 200 pixels. If you can only use 100 DPI then you just won't have as close up of a pic of your fabric as you would with 75. You will still see your print but it will be a little smaller print than it would be with 75.

Rohnda, I lost you at the beginning with scanning the fabric. I don't seem to be able to do anything but scan to my documents and don't even know what kind of file it is. Do you know if I can use photoshop elements to do the size and type after scanning? Then import the file from photoshop?
