It is unseasonably warm in British Columbia, Canada where I live. We have very little snow or cold days. To my surprise my Daffodils are all ready coming up! I have decided to create a quick machine embroidery pattern that I can stitch onto quilted pot holders from my local dollar store.
Open your EQStitch program.
Click on the stitch worktable icon at the top of the screen.
Click on Libraries>Block Library a the top of the top of the screen.
In the library box, click on the words search> by note card.
Type in the word Daffodil.
My program showed several designs in the library with the word Daffodil listed.
I scrolled to the end to find the linear drawing of a Daffodil.
Click on the daffodil of your choice and add it to the sketchbook.
Click on view sketchbook icon at the top of the screen.
Locate the Daffodil and click on the word edit in the bottom of the box.
The Daffodil will open on the worktable it was created on.
Click on EDIT>Select All then click on EDIT>Copy.
Click on the work on stitching worktable icon.
Move the cursor over to the drawing area and RIGHT Click>Paste.
Center the design by clicking on the center selected segments icon at the top of the screen.
Click on the stitch tab at the bottom of the screen and apply the stitch properties of your choice.

I love it!! What a great idea I have thought of doing something like that just to get motifs so I can paint within the sewn lines and create my own fabric for what ever the idea of potholders and doing on them is great!!

I love your little projects. I am new to EQ Stitch and do not know a lot about it and I really appreciate the way you explain how to do it, it makes it very easy for new users.
Thank you very much !

I only seem to have 10 Daffodil blocks and the one you are using is not one of them. Was it an add on block to our libraries? I have had some problems with my computer but I thought I had everything for EQ fixed.

I do have the add on Quilt Stencils packages. I think the Daffodil was from one of the add on.
