quilt done


Recommended Posts

ok, I said I would post pictures of my double Irish chain where I learned to do feathers. I also used my new crosshatch rulers from Linda (they rock). I also used R&S feathered heart. So now I need to know how to post or where are the directions to post. ANY help would be very nice.

Nora, the biggest deal is making sure your file is small enough. Linda CArd gave me great instructions when I first started, but can't seem to find the post. 900x800 or 800 x600, they both seem to work for me. When you edit your picture save at a smaller size for email. I will look again for that post. maybe this will help you some!?????

I just copied Jeanne's post here. The advantage of posting from your computer rather than using webshots is that some networks have webshots, blogs, facebook, & ebay blocked. The pics that are posted thru webshots, I cannot see from work.

Enjoy Jeanne's post:

You can post pics yourself with no problem. Just take a digital picture from your computer and open up the paint program that comes with every windows computer. Don't know about Apple computer if that is what you have. anyway once you open the picture in paint ( you can find Paint in programs under accessories usually) go to the Image tab at the top of the menu and under Image tab you will find Attributes. that will tell you the size of your picture. It usually is about 1200 x 1400 or something close to that. you want it to be only about 500 x 700. so you go back under the same image tab and click stretch and skew option. there you will see stretch and horizontal and vertical box with 100% in each. change that 100 to 50% in each and then go back and look at the attributes again and see if your picture is closer to the size you need it to be. if it is save the file with a new name in it's new size. Remember where you saved it so you can find it when you want to post it to the forum.

See simple now got to the bottom of the post or start a new one (don't use quick reply) you will see at the bottom of the reply a browse box. click that and it will let you find the file you save. once it is there you just post your messag and voila yo have a picture. If by chance it doesnt work you may have to go back and make it a little smaller. I don't have any problem with file that are about 700 x 500 or a little larger.

give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Jeanne
