🧵 July 15th – QMX Automation: Working with Block Designs

Have you ever found a quilting design you love, but weren’t sure how to place it exactly where you want it?

In this Quilter’s Playground session, we’re going Back to Basics with Block designs in QMX. Unlike Edge-to-Edge designs that are meant to connect across the quilt, Block designs are standalone motifs that can be placed in specific areas like squares, triangles, circles, borders, or open spaces.

• Understand the difference between Edge-to-Edge and Block designs

• Place standalone motifs accurately in QMX

• Use Block designs to add custom details to your quilt
