Hello ,I need help in how to delete a design that came with two or more strokes like layers in top the other one ? :(

[SewHeidi]

@prototypex026 I am not sure if I understand your question...can you please clarify or send me the sample file to vector at sewheidi dot com? Thanks!

Thanks for the great tut! Only... I cannot save the swatch I made as ASE!!! HOw to?

[SewHeidi]

@anoukschaar I've taken a few quick screenshots of how to do this so I'm going to send you a message and attach them for your reference. Let me know if you have any other questions/problems/comments! Thanks, Heidi

thank you .. that was very helpfull!

@FernandaReis13 @eyecontact4art There are different reasons why your swatch may not be moving to the swatch palette, and it's hard for me to diagnose without seeing the file. For a small consulting/diagnosis fee of $35 I will fix your file and record via screen capture the process so that you can watch and see what was wrong and how I fixed it. Let me know if you'd like to do that. Thanks for watching! Heidi

@eyecontact4art Me too! I can't move my design to the swatch window! Did you make it???

[eyecontact4art]

Great tus, Heidi! Thanks so much. It is vey kind of you to share your skills! But I am also having trouble moving the textile design into swatches window.

I tried what it looks like you did in the vid, but nothing moves into the swatch window. Can you direct us to a website with the answers? Much appreciation!

Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with everyone in this tutorial. I have been looking for this for a long time. Your presentation was spot on for making it very understandable with your script and your visuals.
