How to export an image of your virtual quilt from EQ

With your quilt displayed on the Quilt Worktable:

  • Click FILE > Export Image. The Export Image dialog displays.
  • In this dialog you’ll select the folder location for saving the file, give the file a name. You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, EQQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_EQQuilt”.
  • Click the down-pointing arrow for file type selections. Files can be saved jpeg.
  • The next dialog lets you specify the size of the image and other options depending on the file type that has been selected. You should choose 150 dpi and a width of 8”.

When taking a photo of your finished quilt, you should follow these guidelines or we may not be able to display your quilt in the gallery.

  • The quilt must be hanging vertically straight.
  • Take the photo straight on (the quilt should not be on an angle).
  • The image file should be larger than 600 pixels. If you send us the original photo without any editing, that file should suffice.
  • Do not crop out the background.
  • Do not cut off the borders or binding in the picture.
  • You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, FinishedQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_FinishedQuilt”.
