Friday Fabric Refresh - Metro

Happy Friday!  Earlier this week, I released a new pattern called Metro.  Metro is a modern-looking honey bun or charm pack friendly pattern and I used the upcoming Balboa collection from Sherri and Chelsi.  I love the colors in that collection, but it's always fun to see how a quilt will look in different fabrics!

Hello! Today, I'm back with some more tips for using Electric Quilt 8. Previously, I talked about importing fabric images into the software. This week, I'm going to give you some tips on editing those fabric images.

It's only been over the past year or so that I started playing around with the Image Worktable and it was the result of a new problem I was trying to solve.
