Draw blocks of all sizes and styles!

Scan and import fabric

Scan your fabric or take a picture of it, then import the image into EQ8. Use the scaling, straightening and cropping tools to make sure your fabric looks as accurate as possible.

You can also add fabrics from the web! Download fabric images from a website, then import into EQ8.

The EQ8 Fabric Library comes pre-loaded with 6,200 fabrics from top manufacturers!

Calculate yardage
