Even though my friend has a long arm that I can use at any time, I'd like the ability to quilt a small wall hanging on my own.
Right now, my quilt top is 31.5" x 39.5" and I would like the ability to customize my quilt squares to embroider. Yes I'd like to use my embroidery machine instead of free hand. I figured that I'd like my squares to be an odd size, not 5x5 or 6x6 like I can buy. When I've used my friends quilting machine, we tell the machine where the 4 corners are and the CAD program calculates the size and blends it all together. Does this make any sense?
So is there a program out there that will let me tell it that my quilt size is 31.5" x 39.5", this is the design I want (I pick one) and then it spits out the PES stippling file I need?
Thanks! teri
Here are 2 links to look at. The first has a good explanation and the second is her project of doing a new stippling design every day for 365 days!

If you have a walking foot with your machine that also helps, but you will find that most machines do not have any trouble going though all 3 layers.
