You want to be in PatterCAD to get the tutorials on how to digitize something. I will give you the steps on how to get the these tutorials. They are very thorough and I think you will find them to be useful if you go through all the steps to learn the process.

When you are in QuiltCAD, look on the right hand side of the screen and there is a box that reads,'Pattern Selection'. In the bottom of that box it has a 'Copy' and 'Paste' button. Right below the 'Copy' and 'Paste' there is a button that reads 'PatternCAD TM'. Click onto that.

Next, look at the top bar and move the arrow to the 'Help'. A menu will drop down and you need to click onto 'PatternCAD TM Help' [not the 'PatternCAD TM Help (online)].

This will bring you to another screen. The second selection down is 'PatterCAD Help'. Click onto this and open the file.

This is a step by step tutorial of how to digitize a pattern. Click 'Next' at the bottom of each page to get to the next page.

I hope you find this helpful.
