Tips & Fun Ways to use Quiltmaker Stencils in EQ7
• Digitize your Quilting Designs by exporting from EQ7. Click the View Sketchbook button, click the Blocks section – Stencils tab, and edit one of the designs to the worktable. If you were to do FILE > Export Image right now, you’d notice the dotted lines don’t digitize well. So, click the Color tab, make sure the Spray Thread tool is on your toolbar. (Right-click to add it, if it’s not there.)
Click the Spray Thread tool, put checks in all three boxes (selecting the top one for style and weight), and click on a dark or black thread color in the palette. Click on the thread lines and now you have a thin, solid line that will export well.
Click FILE > Export Image. Choose where you want to save it, what you want the image called, and what image file type your
digitizing software accepts. Click Save. Then choose the resolution and dimensions on the next screen. Import that image into your software and you should be good to go!
• If you’re doing a border, set it on the quilt at the right size (use the stencil notecard to ensure the design is at the right size), set all the blocks in the border to make the full border square. Then take the Adjust tool and select all those border blocks with a SHIFT+Click. Move the bottom-right corner handle and make it line up with the outer edge of your border.
