Pre-Designed Layouts by Size or Style

Need queen-sized or center medallion quilt? The Layout library has over 540 pre-designed layouts for you to fill with blocks and fabrics. With over 120 new layouts since EQ6, including new "Hexagonal" and "Twelve 12 Inch Blocks" categories, you can have a lot of fun using these layouts as a starting point.

The layouts from "Stars" and "Hexagonal" are sure to be favorites.

Traditional blocks skew when set in those spaces making for amazing medallion quilts.

Start with a Quick-Quilt
We've included many popular traditional designs in the "Start with a quick-quilt project" section. If you need a Double Irish Chain quilt, just select the Irish Chain project, and choose from the different quilt sizes in the Sketchbook. These quilts can be edited, re-colored, re-designed, or even just printed. They are quick and easy to use.

Start with a quick quilt and re-design it or just start printing patterns.

Create a Quilt from a Block
Draw your own grids and turn them into Custom Set quilts. Once you've drawn the block, you're only a few clicks away from turning it into a quilt layout that can be filled with blocks and fabrics.

Draw a block or use one from the library. Convert it into a quilt, then set in blocks and color.
It's that easy to make a truly custom Custom Set quilt.

You can set any pieced or appliqué blocks into your border or sash spaces. Browse through hundreds of ready-made border and sash blocks just waiting for you in the EQ8 Block Library.

Choose from over 290 pre-designed Auto Borders, or create your own. Have as many borders as you like. You pick the width -- EQ8 does the math, fitting borders perfectly for you. Central Medallions only take a few clicks to design.

Add borders to your quilts and either fill the borders with your own blocks or use the Auto Borders for quick and amazing results.

Choose Apply > Effects, Apply > Filters, or Apply > Symmetries from the Image menu and you'll be on your way to a whole world of new image possibilities. EQ8 has over 45 different effects that can be applied to images, including artistic, noise, blur and many more. Filters allow you to sharpen, unsharpen, or detect the edges of your image. Square and Circular symmetries take portions of your image and repeat them according to your choices.

You can apply more than one to an image for a truly unique effect. Print these images onto printable fabric to use as whole photos in your memory quilts, or chop the printed images up to make one-of-a-kind fabrics for your piecing.

Draw beautiful, original blocks and stencils, or let EQ8 create new blocks for you. Draw pieced blocks in EasyDraw or Pieced PatchDraw. EasyDraw works like a pencil and paper. Draw straight lines and arcs and subdivide as needed. Pieced PatchDraw has click-and-snap grids, designed to simplify drawing complex blocks like New York Beauty, Wheel, Kaleidoscope, and Eight-Point Star blocks.

Draw your own pieced blocks using the Line and Arc tools in EasyDraw, or draw from dot to dot on the click-and-snap grids in Pieced PatchDraw.

Appliqué blocks and quilting stencils can be drawn using pull-out shapes like hearts, leaves, tear-drops, circles, squares, and more. The Freehand tool lets you draw freely, just as you would doodle on paper. For drawing help, you can import an image and trace right over it. Vines and leaves are easy with the Brush Stroke and Swath tools. Just decide whether you want a plain vine or one filled with flying geese or diamonds.

Draw your own appliqué blocks or stencils using the tools in PatchDraw.

Make the most realistic appliqué by tracing pictures.

Don't be afraid of drawing on your own. Remember, we've included full-color PDF lessons (11 lessons just on drawing!) to give you step-by-step instructions on learning how to use the drawing tools.

EQ8 can also create blocks for you with the 7 Serendipity features. No drawing necessary! Create instant Kaleidoscope blocks by letting EQ8 work its magic for you. Or turn any block into a star with a few clicks. Just choose the number of star points and rotation -- from 5 to 10.

This irregular Quarter Log Cabin block can be used to make all these stars and more using EQ8's "Fancy Star" Serendipity feature... and you don't have to draw a thing!

Over 5000 scanned fabrics. Find them by theme (modern to antique), by color (you can even search by color), or by fabric company. Scan your own fabrics, then crop and "tweak" them right in EQ8. Save them and "notecard" them in your own My Library to use and re-use. EQ8 scales the fabrics for you -- no matter what size your quilt or block -- so what you see in EQ8 is what you'll get in your finished quilt.

Import your fabric scans to the new Image Worktable.

Crop & adjust the scans, then add them to the Sketchbook as fabric,


so you can start coloring quilts and blocks.

Color tools let you play "what if" before you cut fabric. You can even let the computer to choose colors for you with the Random Recolor tool. Rotate your fabric at any angle you choose, using the Rotate Fabric tool to create special effects with even the simplest stripes.

EQ8 includes over 5,000 copyright-free blocks. Use and re-use blocks as patterns or quilting stencils. Choose any size.

Or use EQ8's new Serendipity tools to magically turn any block into a new original block.

Search for blocks by Name or by Category. Searching by Category allows you to find blocks by theme, piecing style, or difficulty level.

Search the 5000 library blocks... by name (search for "Log" to find "Log Cabin" or "Interlaced Logs"), or...

by category (search for "Easter" to find Easter baskets, bunnies, eggs, and chicks).

Print Templates, Foundation Patterns, and Rotary Cutting Charts. Choose any pattern style, and any size. Or print right from the quilt. EQ8 remembers the size on the quilt, and the block's orientation too -- so perfect for skewed blocks.

You choose the type of printout that works best for the block *and you*!

Print blocks in any size, as line drawings or colored in fabric. Print dotted-line quilting stencils. You can even print more than one block on the page, perfect for English paper piecing templates, or even quilt-themed gift tags.

Print quilts as line drawings (like kids' coloring book pages) or colored in fabric. Or create fancy borders with an empty center, then write on the center to create a quilt label. Print yardage estimates for the whole quilt at once with 2 clicks.

NEW Print multiple photos at once. Just drag and drop your photos on the new Photo Layout page, fitting photos together so you don't waste an inch of printable fabric.

Position and size images in Photo Layout so you don't waste printable fabric.

Create professional images of your blocks and quilts to use in class hand-outs. Or send them to magazine & book publishers, or commercial printers.

  Like all our products running in the Embrilliance Platform, you get OSX and Windows versions. Your license lets you run it on as many computers as you own — even mix and match Mac and Windows. No dongle required. No limits to the number of installs. And as you add products, just add the serial number to the program, and all the features are there in one program, easy to use.
  
  Spiderweb embroidery design
  Work smarter, not harder. That is what the Embrilliance software programs are all about. How to create what you want as quickly and easily as possible.
  
  Enthusiast has some wonderful automated features for working with existing stitch files – such as instant repeat, mirror x4, and scatter. This project was created in StitchArtist using the carousel feature of Enthusiast. When you think about your project plan, its nice to be able to break down the project at hand into small mini projects that take advantage of shortcuts such as the carousel feature.
  
  Similar to a snowflake, the spiderweb base begins as a uniform circular repeat of a “wedge type design”. Its always easier to customize and edit, so we take the very uniform computer generated result and give is some personality and character by reshaping some of the “webs”.
  
  In this short video, you will learn about the carousel feature in Enthusiast as well as the automatic optimizing features in StitchArtist.

Wondering if it works with files for your machine? Yes it does!

Wondering if it works with files for your machine? Yes it does!

• Stitch generation is instant and automatic.
  
• No mode changes for selection, editing, coloring, moving, sizing, rotating or adjusting properties.
  
• You can work in any number of display modes such as 3D. You aren’t locked to a specific mode during any process.
  
• Hundreds of editable vector shapes are included. Several geometric shapes are easily created and altered with the automated shape tool.
  
• Perfect curves are 3 clicks away with the 3 point arc tool.
  
• Users unfamiliar with Bezier curves can use a simulated spline (draw with points) system that’s easier to learn and teach.
  
  All you need is a simple project to get started on, and a willingness to try. You would be amazed at how many embroiderers thought that creating a design or adding stitches would be too hard – and then discovered that they can do it!
  
  It’s one reason that StitchArtist has the largest online community of any design creation or digitizing tool. People love to share ideas, projects, designs, and simply delight in what each other have created!
  
  Level 1 does not include tools that new embroiderers find overwhelming. One example is the alternating input (Level 2) that is used by all professional digitizers, but requires a bit experience to use.
  
  Ready for more? The other levels are available as upgrades, and it costs no more to take the upgrade route than to purchase a higher level as one item. The upgrade to Level 2 is one of our more popular products, because so many people discover that they can make designs and want to do more!
  
  StitchArtist is embroidery design-creation software. It is easy-to-use and designed for everyone: New embroiderers, artists, graphics professionals, and seasoned apparel decorators. This is accomplished with product levels. As the level goes up, additional tools and control are added. Created with education in mind, StitchArtist’s level upgrades allow you to grow the software as you learn to take more control over your embroidery.
  
  The process of design creation, commonly called ‘digitizing’, generally requires a skilled person using a specialized tool. StitchArtist is that tool, but created specifically to take the traditional difficulty out of the process so users can concentrate on design and creativity.
  
  In a radical departure from the typical digitizing interface, StitchArtist uses a single mode to draw, set stitches, size, edit, rotate, sequence, and set properties of design objects. It is easy and intuitive. There is built-in help that replicates the printable .PDF manuals (download at any time), very active social communities, and of course, the award-winning Embrilliance support system.
  
  Embrilliance creates tools that people love to use. We put you in control, and use automation only where appropriate. This is how the best designs are made.
  
  Given the easy-to-use genius of StitchArtist, it’s easy to think it is an automated digitzing tool. It is not. StitchArtist is not a photo-to-stitch tool or an auto-digitizing program. Such things are sold but do not create nice embroidery. There is no such thing as ‘conversion’ from an image to an embroidery design. It takes a human being, with an eye for stitch types, but no real artistic skill is required. Can you trace? Can you click your mouse or tap your pen? You have all the skill you need.
  
  StitchArtist is part of the Embrilliance Platform, sharing one program with our other titles like Essentials and Enthusiast. This means that as you add titles, your features grow without having to switch between programs! Embrilliance products are modular: You do not “Need another program first.” You can use only StitchArtist. If you have other titles, they work together seamlessly to offer incredible ability in a single interface.
  
  StitchArtist is a design creation tool, which means it does not manipulate existing designs. Our other products, like Essentials, handle those tasks. Whether you want to create or embellish designs for hobby, friends, sale or full professional use, StitchArtist is for you.

  YOU CAN DO THIS!
  All you need is a project to get started on and a willingness to try. Even master digitizers start by creating simple shapes, and learning about stitches and settings by reaching a little further with every piece they make. If you want to reach further and make something special, StitchArtist level 2 has both the simple tools to get you started and the professional power to help you grow.
  
  It’s one reason that StitchArtist has the largest online community of any design creation or digitizing tool. People love to help each other figure out new ways to use stitches, work out the best way to draw objects, discuss the best ways to digitize for a specific garment or object, and simply delight in how the community members grow in their craft!
  
  Level 2 has all the ease of Level 1, but with increased control over the way stitches are generated and a host of tools that professional digitizers know and love. With Level 2, you can build your experience and have all the tools you need for professional, production-worthy designs.
  
  Upgrade on your Schedule
  Ready for the top of the line? StitchArtist level 3 is available complete or as an upgrade, and it never costs more to take the upgrade route than it does to buy level 3 at the outset. Level 2 users who master the its tools and those familiar with vector drawing and design like level 3’s additional drawing and shaping tools, while stock design sellers who want quick, all-format stitch-file savings, and those who want to create their own custom motifs, patterns, and object-based fonts upgrade to get professional custom tools to help them quickly serve customers and publish professional assets for the Embrilliance community.
