    Default I don't understand if I can import & modify emb files in EQStitch

    Please help! I have a new Janome embroidery machine (15000) with a hoop for quilting. The hoop is ~8 x 8 and my quilt has blocks that are 10 x 10. I hope I can use two runs -- one squaring up on upper left and another run quilting the block squaring up with the bottom right. That will require that I modify any embroidery file for it to look right.

    I purchased EQStitch, but I can't figure out how to import an embroidery file into it so that I can modify it. I'm still on the learning curve (huge).

    I see a few quilt designs in EQSTITCH for quilting, but not many and none that will work with my quilt.

    Any ideas or assistance is very appreciated.

    No, EQStitch is not designed to modify your existing embroidery files. You can design and digitize your own embroidery designs with it.

    I use Embird for editing embroidery files. Mostly for adding thread color changes so I get a jump stitch in a pattern. It has a way to split an embroidery file, but I don't know enough to help anyone do it. I have, also, resized the files, mostly on PES files.

    You can resize in a free program called Wilcom True Sizer. They have several versions, one of which is free.
