Once you've created the Fabric Links you'd like to use in your quilt, we can start using them in your quilt blocks and other quilt components. This Help Guide will walk you through how to use Fabric Links in:
Quilt blocks
Quilt borders
Quilt binding
The essential thing to learn here is that Fabric Links can be connected (linked) to individual block pieces in your quilt blocks. This is done in the Block Editor and you can either edit an existing block or create a custom block.
In this example, I'll show you how to use Fabric Links to edit an existing block.
On the left side control panel, click on the BLOCKS tab.
Click on the Edit Block button for the quilt block you'd like to change.
The Block Editor panel will slide out.
Click on the block piece that you'd like to change the Fabric Link on. When selected, there will be a light box outlining the selected block piece. The current connected Fabric Link (A) is highlighted.
In this example, I'd like to change the Fabric Link for all the corner pieces from gray (Fabric Link A) to pink (Fabric Link D).
On the FABRICS tab, click on the Link button () next to Fabric Link D.
Once you click on the Link button, the corner piece will be reconnected to Fabric Link D and is pink.
Repeat Steps 4-5 for the remaining corners.
Click on the Save button () in the top right corner and select Save to Quilt.
If you want to use the Quilt Border option from the left side control panel, you must use a Fabric Link. You can have up to 3 quick add borders.
Click on the BINDING/BORDER tab from the left side control panel.
Click on the Add Border button.
The default border width is 2" and the default fabric is Fabric Link A. Change the border width and fabric as desired.
In this example, I selected a 3" border and Fabric Link D.
If you want to use the Quilt Binding option from the left side control panel, you must use a Fabric Link.
Click on the BINDING/BORDER tab from the left side control panel.
The default binding width is 0" and the default fabric is Fabric Link A. Change the binding width and fabric as desired.
In this example, I selected a 0.5" border and Fabric Link C.
