# Printed Fabric Swatches

## <mark style="color:blue;">A Little About Printed Fabric Swatches</mark>

Printed fabric swatches (also referred to as digital fabric swatches) are digital versions of printed fabric. They are usually square JPG images and often times they will have a ruler along the bottom to denote the width of the swatch.

PreQuilt is able to use digital fabric swatches for your printed fabric to preview your quilt ideas. If the swatch provided is smaller than the quilt piece the fabric swatch is placed in, the digital swatch will be tiled to fill the space. You are also able to reposition and rotate your digital fabric swatch as well.

In a few steps, you can import a digital fabric swatch into PreQuilt and link it to a patchwork piece in your quilt and quickly see what it'd look like.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.prequilt.com/prequilt-101/all-about-fabric/printed-fabric-swatches.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
