import textures

[woodknack]

How do I import a new texture into the software.

is there a way to make a pattern I have into a texture instead?

Nope, you can't import your own textures. Jon Jantz and I have bugged CW about this in the past I we both have developed several tile-able textures that would work great with Designer, and the response from CW is that they don't know when (if) Designer might have that capability.

You can however use a pattern pretty much like a texture. You just have to get the clipping and merge styles set properly.
