Georgene Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I've never calibrated my QP. When I used the ruler to measure the width of the quilt, it gave me a 70" measurement vs. the 66" that it really was. So I'm thinking I should calibrate it. Probably should be one of the first things we do anyway. But what is the correct term in the QP software for calibration. I'm looking through the help file index for it, but calibration doesn't show up. I looked on Angela Clark's site, recalling she had a lesson for doing that, but couldn't find it. Maybe because I don't know the correct term. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgene Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 OK, did it. Went to Panto design, clicked Help, then Screen Scaling, then Reset. I had already cut a piece of paper 3" square, put it on the screen and dragged the bottom right corner, portrayed on the screen, down to match the 3" square of paper. Then clicked OK. So I guess it's DONE. One more thing I learned. Thanks Karen. klwheeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floyd6451 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have the opposite problem as Georgene. My ruler (Mr. Stanley) usually measures 2-3 inches wider than the quilt path ruler. I scaled my screen awhile back but it didn't make a difference for this issue. I use the measurements supplied because it's what QP is going to do anyway. I only wish I could figure out how far off the length of the quilt will be so I could stop running off the bottom. Anyone else with this issue? thanks tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I've been running way off the bottom too and have been seeking solutions to that on the FAcebook QP Users Group. Are you a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgene Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 It's a closed group, so you have to ask to join. Do a search within Face Book for QUILT PATH USER GROUP. Then you should see something like request membership. JeannieB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankiequilter Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 This morning I made a request to join the QP Facebook group. I know nothing about Facebook; when and how will I know that I have been accepted to the group? I have not used my QP much and only know that it needs to be calibrated by reading about it here. I have a lot to learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd6451 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks for the invite, Georgene. I'll check it out. I think I have a facebook login somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Carmen, I think you will get a personal message within Facebook, similar to those we get on this forum. It will say that you are accepted. You'll know you have a message when you see a little red number located by the message icon at the top of your Facebook page. Just click on that number or icon to view the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmielf Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Has anyone set your “roll diameter”? I have a paper that is titled “Before stitching with Quilt Path” you need to calibrate quilt path and set your roll diameter. The paper states to set my roll diameter to 3 inches, but that isn’t the Actual size of my roll. So is the 3” just a random size? i hope someone knows something about this.
