Have you looked at the Bernina Quilter user Ma...Hi<br /><br />Have you looked at the Bernina Quilter user Manual? It is about 80 pages and lives inside the Quilter program under Help when open it (same for the Bernina CrossStitch user Manual in the CrossStitch program). I think it can do most of the things you want. You can scan in your fabrics, I find it easier to get a chip from the fabric manufacture by saving the image, and using that in the program. Yes you can create your own blocks too. While not as sophisticated as EQ it quickly does most of the things I want. Yes, It does yardage, but sometimes I would cut and seam pieces together rather than just a very long single piece. <br /><br />Go to Trish's page http://www.mediafire.com/?4t17936lps5u9 and watch Embroidery Software #05 Designing Quilts.<br /><br />I found a few of the Quilter tutorials if you are interested in working thru them. Email and I will send them to you.<br /><br />Pam KAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515412331303663446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-84577148107911366082013-12-08T07:58:05.444-05:002013-12-08T07:58:05.444-05:00Pam, do you know if there's a good tutorial so...Pam, do you know if there's a good tutorial somewhere for that Bernina Quilter program? I already own the Designer Plus embroidery software and in software mastery classes, they showed us VERY BRIEFLY. When I asked the instructor questions about the Quilter program, she said "I don't know" and "that's a good question." My questions were about things like resizing the scale of a fabric print accurately, whether I could scan in my own fabrics, and things like that. I do know that the first time I tried to use the Quilter program in my embroidery software, the block I wanted was not in the library -- and I don't think there is a way to design your own block in that program, is there? <br /><br />Right now with my Jingle quilt especially, when I put it together in my head with the red and green borders and setting triangles like the pattern designer envisioned, I am not loving what that looks like. I want to play around and see what it would look like if I pieced some of the setting triangles, or added sashing and/or a series of pieced borders... And then once I find a combination that I love, it would be so nice to have the software calculate cutting sizes for me so that everything fits together properly. If my Bernina Quilter program can do all that, I think there has to be a separate tutorial or at least a webinar out there somewhere???Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-4329068158615270742013-12-08T04:06:22.397-05:002013-12-08T04:06:22.397-05:00I have EQ but I find using the Bernina Embroidery ...I have EQ but I find using the Bernina Embroidery Designer Plus software easier to use for mist quilted project. It doesn't have all the of the features of EQ if you wanted multiple block sizes but you can still figure it out using the smaller blocks and. And I like the ability to make my own blocks. Easy to go to a fabric manufacture and d/l a copy of their fabric chips to your fabric library. <br />Pam KPJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488580695900585262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-46114719804685404172013-11-27T16:37:57.841-05:002013-11-27T16:37:57.841-05:00I had the EQ program when it first came out and I ...I had the EQ program when it first came out and I was new to the computer. I actually sold it a few years after I got it only because I didn't like spending so much time on the computer. I might like to have the new one now that I am more computer savvy. For the reasons you mentioned it might be something you could invest in.Carrie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10063988589711911820noreply@blogger.com
