I would like to digitize a quilt pattern so I can make my own Piece ITH patterns. Does anyone know of a program that can help me with this?

I would love your design in the PES format? I guess I just need to set myself down and teach myself how to digitize, uggh, that scares me!

I've sent you a PM

I've been playing with the photograph below to see what it would look like as a quilt. I might even get round to making it!

I've made crazy blocks in the hoop and used the samples as pincushions - here's one of them. Doing regular patterns is just as easy - and I use Embird too.

These are so cool, very dainty looking. Could you tell me how you started? Did you upload a image or did you do it from scratch?

Hugs, MJ

I've done one using Embird which was very easy. The picture shows four of the blocks stitched together (not very carefully!)

So how did you do it? I don't have Embird I have Embrillance. It is a very simple program to use but I'm not sure how to start? All the help you can give me will be very much appreciated. :)

Have you stitched one out already as that would give you an idea of the stitching lines you need to create. You can have this one to try if you like.
