Sending a project with Project file, Palette file and the Fabric files.
-
Compose an explanatory email of what you
are sending and what to do with each file unless you are sure they know what to
with each file. -
In your email program click on
the paper clip icon. -
An Insert attachment dialogue
box should appear. -
Browse to Quiltpro 3, Projects
and select the current project. -
Click attach. -
Repeat above procedure and attach the Palette file. -
Repeat the procedure and attach the Fabric files. -
Check to see if you have an attachment to the email for each
file. This could be a very large email so
if you have the capability to zip it, it would be a courtesy to do so. This will
save much time in sending and receiving your message.
Quilt Pro May 2001 Challenge. -
In
order for Joany to work with the quilts(projects) each of us must have the additional
fabrics each of us plan to use and they must be in the same order in everyone’s
palette. -
Further, the fabric files must be in
a folder with the same name in everyone’s computer and the Quiltpro May 2001 Challenge
palette must be in the Palette folder in everyone’s computer. -
To accomplish this Joany or I will probably solicit the additional
fabric files in the next few days. We will then consolidate the fabric files
into a challenge palette and send them back to you with explanatory information.
