qwltnldy Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just got my CL on Monday and already finished a quilt! I used the Baptist Fan template and it took a grand total of 1 1/2 hours. WOW. Anyway I\'m going to try to post a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Robin, your photo is probably too big. Try reducing it to 600 x 800 or smaller. And if you are posting it using the attachment field under your post, do not review or it drops the photo. I would love to see your fans. I love Baptist Fans, so traditional. It really wows customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Robin, Try opening your picture in paint, then choosing stretch/skew and adjusting it to about 20% horizontally and vertically. THen save the altered picture to the desktop. Go to your original post at the top here, and hit edit. When you get to the bottom, attach your picture. Tell it to replace image ******* with the new image. Then hit post. DO NOT preview or your picture will erase. HOpe this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwltnldy Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 How do you reduce the photo? Linda, you said to change it to 600 x 800 but I don\'t know how to do that....Also, Chickenscratch, I don\'t know how to use "paint". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veg-girl Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Go to Paint program Go to File Open and find the image you want to play with Goto Image Attributes click on pixels and then you will know how big the picture is currently Go to Image stretch /skew ,knowing how big your picture is work out a rough prcentage to reduce to approximately 600 x 800. Put that in the hoizontal and vertical boxes click OK Go to Image attributes and check that its small enough. If not do the stretch /skew thing again Then save somewhere you can easily find it, then go to your post and click on the browse button \'til you find it and hopefully you\'re there.

Mary Beth Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Very good!! And you were persistant!! Great job...gotta love that CL!! Merry Jo, Funny you should say that Wish I had a circle lord! I was just reading back through the CL posts and found one that I had posted a year ago stating that I couldn\'t afford the CL. Then I bought it in June at MQS - I have just made my little monthly payments and it will be paid off like next month. I should be getting more new templates today It\'s funny to go back and read these old post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veg-girl Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I shall have to start saving my pennies for a circle lord ( or pounds for an Intelliquilter). Nice quilt. My hubby thinks its funny that I helped you post a picture as I am the least computer literate in the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwltnldy Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 You definitely need pounds for the Intelliquilter....pennies won\'t do it... I didn\'t realize you were in the UK (I didn\'t look to see where you are). I spent 3 years there in the mid 80\'s and wish I could go back. I want to see more of the country. I was in Ipswich (Harkstead, actually) we were stationed at RAF Bentwaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
