Do you want to use just its color in Illustrator? You can pick it up using the eyedropper. Or do you want to create a pattern out of that fabric? To create an electronic version of real life fabric in your stash, you can scan it and import the file into EQ7. Lay the fabric on your scanner bed and scan using your scanner software. Set the resolution to 72 or 75 and crop the scanned image to approximately 3″ x 3″, following the pattern repeat in the fabric as closely as possible for best results.
One of my favorite features of using is that I can preview my own fabric in my blocks on the computer. I have a lack of self-confidence when selecting fabrics, so I'm glad EQ7 allows me to see it virtually, before any cutting and sewing is done.
I've scanned in some of my fabrics, and would like to eventually do my whole stash. My stash is not incredibly huge, so that is the good news. ☺If you haven't tried it yet, here is how to scan your own fabrics into the Electric Quilt library:. First thing to do is scan your fabric into you computer.
Fabric Scan And Cut
Use whatever software you normally use to scan an item. I have an HP OfficeJet printer/scanner machine. The Print dialog for this printer has a Scanner button on it, so that is how I will scan in my fabric for this example. Ooooh, I have a birthday coming up and I thought about asking for EQ7 for my birthday.
I use traditional blocks and am interested in 'dressing' them up a little (different layouts, sashings, borders, etc.), so EQ7 sounds very appealing. But it's pretty pricey for this retired hand quilter (ie, not all that many quilts in a year's time). And the learning curve is very intimidating to me.
The time it would take to master it could be spent quilting, ya know? I'm going to look through your EQ7 how-to's and see if it would be something worth adding to my birthday wish list. Thanks for sharing them (and if you have any advice for this quilter who's on the fence, let me know).;-).
