File Formats that can be used in QE-Pattern Finder

QE-Pattern Finder can show thumbnails of Quilting Patterns, of Embroidery Designs, of Images and Vector Artwork. All formats can be sorted into the catalog. The Quilting Patterns and Embroidery Designs can be edited in Design Editor. The images can be helpful to include photos of stitch-outs in the same category as the designs. Sorting Artwork into the catalog is helpful to see your design work in progress.

Note about Encrypted Designs

 

Because of the wonderful editing, tweaking, adding text functions in QE-Pattern Finder, the program will not display Encrypted files. Some designers lock their designs to a specific system. They do so for a reason. We respect that and therefore encrypted files will not show/open in QE-Pattern Finder.
