Borders with Corner Patterns

In this video we will work with setting in corner sections along with borders. I've also included a short section on working with the on-screen measurement tool. Update: This video was made before we had the line pattern feature. Please see that video to get an alternative method of working with borders. Produced by: Linda Lawson Part 1 Part 2

Placing Motifs in Blocks

Placing motifs in blocks. This is an older video with a 2007 version of the software. Additional features have been added over the years so now after touching, add/edit block a page will appear with more choices. In this case, I would have touched standard block on that page, then mark on quilt on the next page.
This is a simple motif so marking all the blocks and then placing all the patterns before stitching would probably give acceptable results. For more intricate patterns that will draw up the fabric, I would mark a block, edit the pattern then immediately stitch it before working on the next block.
