Electric Quilt 6 Frequently Asked Questions

How can I download fabric swatches from the Web, into EQ6?
Find a website with individual swatches.

1. If it is a small swatch, click on it to see if there is a larger view.
2. Right-click on the swatch to "save picture as" -- you can leave it set for JPEG. Make sure the "Save in:" window is where you want to save, and remember where you are saving.
3. Go into EQ6, choose LIBRARIES > Fabric Library.
4. Click Import > from Image Files.
5. Browse to your swatches.
6. Click the one you need (or use CTRL+A to copy them all).
7. Click Open. You will now be on the Import Results section, looking at your swatches.
8. You can either add them to a style in My Library so they can be used from all projects or add them to the Sketchbook of just this project.
   1. Add to My Library: Select one, then click CTRL+A to select them all. Click Copy, switch from the Import Results section to the My Library section. Select a style in one of the libraries you have created. Paste them into the style and Save Library. (See page 143 in the EQ6 User Manual if you have not already made a My Library space for your fabric.)
   2. Add to Sketchbook: Select one, then click CTRL+A to select them all. Click Add to Sketchbook.
