Importing:

Overview:
| This tutorial will show you how to create a pattern from a scanner or a graphic file using the Import Wizard. For this tutorial, you will import a sample graphic file to make a pattern. Along the way, you will learn about the ways to adjust the graphics to improve the quality of your final pattern.

This tutorial breaks down the importing feature into sub topics. We suggest you take the time to go through all of them in the order presented below.

|  | Selecting your Graphic
|  | Selecting a section of the graphic
|  | Removing the Background
|  | Sizing
|  | Image Adjustments
|  | Floss Selection

The Import Wizard allows you to perform each of the above steps independently of each other. This means you could select a graphic, pick the floss, but do nothing with image adjustments or worrying about the background. You do not need to use all the tools with the import. Our goal with this tutorial is to show you all the options so you are aware of what is available.
When you are done with any or all of the above steps, just click the OK button on the Import Wizard to complete the import process. The window will close, and you will see your new pattern in a new design grid window. Don’t forget to save it!
