Importing Purchased Embroidery Designs Electric Quilt Tutorial
Last fall I released my Miniature Thread Art pattern, plus a series of Thread Art Embroidery Designs that could be used in the pattern.

​I decided that the heart embroidery designs needed to be featured with the pattern in celebration of Valentine's Day.  
In this weeks Electric Quilt video tutorial, I share how to import purchased embroidery designs for auditioning in Electric Quilt.  I've included suggestions for both EQ7 and EQ Stitch.

Featured Product - Miniature Thread Art Pattern Plus Machine Embroidery Heart Bundle

Picture
Combine three different thread art machine embroidered hearts with the miniature thread art piecing pattern to create your own Valentine (or heart) quilt.  The 3 machine embroidery designs are included!

This miniature quilt finishes 18" x 24".  (Four other sizes are included in the pattern as well.)

Price:  $17.50

Happy quilting.

Well done! I bought the bundle and after watching them all stitch out in Palette, I can see a couple for St. Patrick's Day with just a change of thread color and some that remind me of a fan of Easter eggs!
I noticed I have a set of string art designs in another of my files and wonder if I bought some at another time from you or if we were taught to digitize them earlier. I didn't go through all of them to be sure but the more the merrier. You can't help but be inspired after watching them and envisioning maybe even some metallic's! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!- - - -

Kari thank you for this awesome lesson using another feature in EQ7. Are the blocks just brought into eq 7 for auditioning. I guess I got lost as to how you got the original embroidery design to become thread art.
