    Thanks for sharing this! I usually save my pictures from fabric.com and switch to a bitmap file to be able to import. This allows my to 'try' a fabric before I even purchase it!

    Thanks so much. I had never figured out how to do this. (Hate reading instruction books!) and it's really useful information.

    Yea! I understand your instructions. Simple and to the point. I could not understand how to do this from my book. I will try as soon as I can this morning.

    EQ5 is an earlier version of Electric Quilt, a computer program that lets you design blocks and quits, or use their library of blocks, or fabrics. There is also an EQ6 & 7. EQ7 lets you work with images and photos in the program. This software reminds me of Windows. There is so much you can learn about the program, but if you know a little, you can use it well. And if you want to learn more, you can use it to a greater extent.

    I use EQ7 everyday. Judy

    Someone asked me this question, so I thought it might benefit all of us here:

    Please help me. I just got a use copy of EQ5 with upgrade on embroidery patterns for ebay. My question is how do I get the embroidery designs out of EQ5 and in to my embroidery machine to make my embroidery quilt.

    This was my answer:

    The embroidery designs do not actually come with EQ. The designs are on Amazing Designs software. They just let you play with them in EQ, so you can see how they look on your quilt before you purchase the designs.

    I wish they were included, but they don't come that way.
