Quilts: The number of quilts you can create in EQ6 is endless. You can start new blank quilts in any of our automatic styles, get quilts from the layout library by size or style, create your own quilt layout from a block, or even use a quick quilt already made for you! NEW Create a Quilt from a Block Choose any block from the library or one that you draw which has horizontal and vertical lines. Convert it to a quilt and you can set blocks in all the spaces! 3. Borders: We've added new tools, new blocks, and new border styles! 4. Fabrics: EQ6 has over 5000 newly scanned fabrics... the same quality as the ones you would find in the fabric stores or in our STASH series. * Fabrics by Category - need some dots? or how about an antique double-pink? Just pick fabrics from any of the 1280 fabrics organized in these categories: Antique, Colors, Geometric, Holidays, Nature or Region. * Fabrics by Color - yes, there is a difference between plum and violet, and between rust, warm brown and gray brown.

Print: * Templates - Specify the size of seam allowance around each patch. Move or delete templates before you print. NEW Rotate templates on print preview. * Foundation Patterns - EQ6 numbers each pattern, separating units and adding seam allowance. If you draw a pattern, EQ6 numbers it for you. Move or delete foundation pattern sections before you print. * Rotary Cutting Charts - Print rotary cutting charts for blocks in EQ6 or blocks you design yourself. * Blocks - Print them as line drawings, in gray scale, in color, as appliqué patterns, or as quilting stencils! Print off your favorite blocks as line drawings and make quick coloring book pages for children. * Quilts - Print your quilts as line drawings or colored with fabrics. * IMPROVED Fabric Yardage Estimates - Calculate yardage in inches or centimeters and print yardage charts. 6. Libraries: We've streamlined the libraries to be easier to use. NEW Now you can import directly from other projects and files, and copy and paste right into your library. In addition to the 4300+ blocks in the Block Library, 5000+ scanned fabrics in the Fabric Library, 400+ quilts in the Layout Library, you will also be able to use items from the: * NEW Importing Features - Now you can import from other EQ software projects or shopping bags right through the library. Just open the library you need and choose Import from Project (use this for BlockBase searches, EQ5 projects or palettes, and STASH shopping bags). Or, you can import image files through the photo or fabric library. You can also import your own embroidery designs (.EXP format only) to try out on your latest quilt, then save in your own embroidery library * Embroidery Library - Jazz up your quilt with all new images of embroidery designs from Viking, PFAFF, and Cactus Punch. Try out the embroidery on your quilt to decide if you want to get the embroidery card so you can sew out the designs. * NEW Photo Library - Photo and memory quilts have never been this much fun! Use any of our forest, garden, sky or textured pictures to create life-like fabric. Or, import your own pictures of family, events, or scenery to build up your own collection of photos to use in quilts. Photos can be in the JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, or TIFF format. * NEW Thread Library - Ackermann, Aurifil, Coats & Clark, Gutermann, Mettler, Robison-Anton, Signature, Sulky, Superior, Valdani, and YLI have let us know their thread colors so you can color your embroidery and quilting stitches with the spool you're actually using! You can also create a Thread library of your own spools. 7. Drawing tools: We've completely reworked the drawing side of EQ. You can draw blocks from scratch and even make new blocks without drawing! * Draw pieced, appliqué or combination blocks. * Draw pieced blocks almost as quickly as you would draw a block on paper in EasyDraw. * Draw appliqué blocks in PatchDraw using easy drag and drop patches (hearts, leaves, feathers, tear-drops, circles, triangles, octagons and more). * NEW Draw with the Freehand tool to make realistic patches. * NEW Vines, scrolls, and stems have never been easier than with the new Brush Stroke tool. * NEW Draw pieced blocks in PatchDraw using “click and snap” grids for stars, kaleidoscopes, and compasses. * Use the WreathMaker to turn shapes into wreaths or quick quilting stencils. * Draw sash or border blocks with ease on a rectangular drawing board. * Draw just about anything from a 4-Patch to a Giant Dahlia or Lone Star. * NEW Import images to trace and turn your favorite picture or drawing into a block. Images imported for tracing can be in the JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, or TIFF format. Choose how you want the image cropped and how transparent you want it right from EQ6. 8.
