Electric Quilt Tutorial: How to make wreaths

Draw a shape, select this shape, click the right button of the mouse and select the option :”WreathMaker“.

Now you have to choose:
Number of clusters / Cluster spacing /Resize cluster.
All these numbers will affect the appearance of the wreath, so try until you are happy with the design.

Se deseneaza o forma geometrica, se selecteaza, se apasa pe butonul drept al mouse-ului si se selecteaza optiunea “WhreatMaker“.
Apoi trebuie sa alegem niste numere:Number of clusters (de cate ori forma selectata se va repeta) / Cluster spacing (spatiul dintre forme ) /Resize cluster ( marimea formelor).
Toate aceste numere vor influenta aspectul coronitei, deci incercati mai multe variante, pana va place designul.This is an option:

Iata o varianta:You can add a circle in the center, then go to the “COLOR” tab and color the background and the wreath.

Se poate adauga un cerc in centru, si apoi se coloreaza (vezi in josul paginii de desenat ).

Let’s try a more complex design, so draw 2 shapes, select both and apply “WreathMaker”. You can get a wreath like this:

Sa incercan un model mai complex, asa ca se deseneaza 2 forme, se selecteaza ambele si se aplica “WreathMaker”. Se poate obtine o coronita ca aceasta:Start to color it, you will end up with an interesting design.

Se coloreaza si se obtine un design mai interesant.

Add a circle in the center and color it;

Se adauga un cerc pe centru si se coloreaza; or add 2 circles, color them and you will have a ring !

sau se adauga 2 cercuri si se coloreaza, si se obtine un inel in centru !

Do you want even more complex design ? Select the entire wreath then apply “WreathMaker” and color:

Un design si mai complex ? Se selecteaza toata coronita, se aplica “WhreatMaker” si se coloreaza :
The most important thing in designing a wreath is this: because the shapes might overlap you can select some shapes to be in front of others and this will make a difference in the design.
Here is an example. I started with 2 sets of shapes:

Cel mai important lucru in designul coronitelor este acesta: deoarece formele se pot suprapune unele peste altele, se pot selecta anumite forme care sa fie deasupra altora si acest lucru produce diferente in design.
Iata un exemplu.Am pornit cu 2 seturi de forme: Select the shapes you want to be in front of others (the shapes will be outlined in green), click the right button of the mouse and select “Send to front”.

Se selecteaza formele dorite a fi deasupra (acestea vor fi scoase in evidenta cu verde ), se apasa butonul drept al mouse-ului si apoi se selecteaza “Send to front”.

In the image below we have 2 different designs depended on which petals we want to be in front of others:

In imaginea de mai jos sunt 2 modele diferite, depinzand de care set am ales sa fie deasupra:

And this is another example:

Si iata un alt exemplu:
Designing a wreath is influenced by the orientation of the initial shapes.
Here we have the same shapes but different wreaths :

Designul coronitelor e influentat de orientarelor formelor initiale.
Aici avem aceleasi forme de pornire dar orientate diferit si deci, 2 coronite diferite.

For beginner users of Electric Quilt:

How to draw a patch:
Select the shape you want (from the menu on right side of worktable), move the mouse anywhere on the worktable, click on mouse and drag in any direction. As you drag, the shape will appear.

Pentru utilizatorii incepatori de Electric Quilt:

Cum se deseneaza o forma:
Se selecteaza forma dorita din meniul din dreapta , se muta mouse-ul pe tabla de lucru in orice loc, se apasa mouse-ul si se trage in orice directie. Pe masura ce se deplaseaza mouse-ul se deseneaza forma dorita.

How to select a patch:
You need to use the Select tool (the first button on the menu on right side of worktable).
Click on a line of your patch; if you can’t hit the line , enlarge the area where the patch is placed . (using the button with a “+” (Zoom In) from the left menu of the worktable).
You can make multiple-selection by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each patch you want to add to the selection.

Cum se selecteaza o forma:
Se utilizeaza butonul “Select” ( primul buton din meniul din dreapta ), se face click pe o linie a formei respective ; daca nu se poate selecta, se poate face un “Zoom” pe zona care ne intereseaza (cu ajutorul butonului “Zoom In” din meniul din stanga).
Se pot face selectii multiple (se tine apasata tasta SHIFT si se face click pe toate formele dorite) .
How to rotate a patch:
Select the patch, hold down the Ctrl key and click in the center of the patch, then use the mouse on a corner to rotate.

Cum se roteste o forma:
Se selecteaza, se tine apasata tasta CTRL si se face click pe centrul formei; se utilizeaza apoi mouse-ul pe colturi pentru rotire.

How to add a patch in the center of a wreath:
If you want to cover the center of a wreath with a circle (or other patch), draw a circle anywhere on the worktable. Select the circle and move it in the place you want. (once a patch is selected it can be moved or resized).

Cum se adauga o forma pe centrul unei coronite:
Daca se vrea sa se acopere centrul cu un cerc (sau alta forma), se deseneaza un cerc oriunde pe tabla de lucru, se selecteaza si apoi se muta in locul dorit ( o data ce o forma e selectata ea se poate muta sau redimensiona).

The WreathMaker tool will place the wreath in the center of the worktable. This is so cool, you can overlap different wreaths and can end up with more complex and beautiful designs. Here it is an example:
Make a wreath from a patch:

Unelata WreathMaker va plasa coronita pe centrul tablei de lucru. Acest lucru e binevenit, deoarece se pot suprapune perfect mai multe coronite una peste alta si se obtin modele mai complexe.Iata un exemplu:
Se face o coronita dintr-o forma:
On the same worktable, draw another patch (I drew the same patch but with another orientation), select it and apply “WreathMaker”.

Pe aceeasi tabla de lucru, se mai deseneaza o forma, se selecteaza si se face alta coronita:

This is the result:
