Tia, Save the template in a folder and any image you want to put on it. Open Corel Draw open the template go to file/import, find the image and place it anywhere you want on the template. Grab one of the corners to adjust the size. Never grab the sides because it will not stay in proportion if you move them in or out. I hope this helps. I have Corel 4, 7, 8 and 10. I used to use this program everyday at work but haven't in a while so I'm a little rusty. If you need any more help let me know. I do know that each version changes a little so I hope I am telling you correctly. Let me know. I still dont' like version 10. I think version 8 is the best. I can't judge 9 because I never used that one. Theresa

Can any one help me to use this softwate. When I try to sew out my designs I have a huge stitch count. One colour seems to sew out on most of the embroidery, then susequent colours build up on top of this.

Well, I got it finished, now I just have to do a final print. What I finally did was scan each page individually, then went into Word and inserted each page. Landscape, .5" margins, 2 columns, more columns-(changes spacing) 4.5" margins, & 1.5 inches between columns. Then inserted page 1 and page 3, the next was inserted as page 4 then 2. This way, when I print the front then the back, the pages end up where they are supposed to be! I worked on it all evening last night, then started again this morning at 6:30, and finished it at 7:30. As I said, now all I need to do is print it and bind it. I will also put a note in my notebook of tips and tricks I have aquired over the years on how I did it for future reference! Thanks again for all the help and suggestions Tami

I'll never forget how we went to a local-very good-tile store to look for tiles for our non-existing yet master bath we didn't have anything like elevations..we didn't have an architect..the contractor wasn't design-build firm ..we kinda "invented" how it will be-took us some time too- and the drafstman put it in blueprint, for the city, making sure of sizes and clearances, and all in short we knew the idea but never saw it except for in our head and as the store was very busy-we were lucky to get the old lady who owned the store and actually was a designer and I remember starting telling her about the bathroom..gesticulating, you know..in a not-very-clear way and she started sketching as I spoke and it felt like a miracle she listened to my rumblings, and sketched-and that was the first time that I actually saw our future bathroom, just emerging there, on a piece of paper. And it was as I pictured it, and I saw-it will be good. But I worked on that mental picture for many weeks-and she got it within seconds, based on my gestures and mumbling. It was like watching a wizard at work.
