Printed Fabrics Randomizer
Basic & Market Plan Feature
Did you know that there's a feature where you can randomize printed fabrics on your Color Tags? Yep! You can randomize fabrics using a Fabric Pull instead of only randomizing solid color swatches.
A Fabric Pull is a collection of solid and/or printed fabrics swatches grouped together. Fabric pulls can be curated by yourself or recreated in PreQuilt from existing fabric collections.
The first step is to create a custom Fabric Pull which will be the source the randomize feature will pull the fabrics from. Once a fabric pull has been created, you can use it to randomize.
- 1.Click on the Fabric Pull tab on the main Dashboard.
- 2.Click on the Create Fabric Pull tile.
- 3.On the left side box, there are two tabs - Solids and Fabrics. On the right side box, is the new Fabric Pull to be created.
- 4.To add solids to your fabric pull, click on the dropdown menu (in the left side box) and select the manufacturer's solid color card.
- In this example, I selected Paintbrush Studio's solids.
- 5.Then click on the colors you'd like to include in your fabric pull.
- Note: You will notice that they are added to the right side box.
- 6.To add printed fabrics, click on the Fabrics tab.
- Note: You will then see tiles for all the printed fabrics you've added to PreQuilt.
- 7.Click on the Select button on all the fabric tiles you'd like to add to your fabric pull.
- Note: You will notice that they are added to the right side box.
- 8.Give your fabric pull a name and click on the Save button.
Now that we've created a Fabric Pull, we can now use it to randomize our Color Tags using printed fabric swatches.
- 1.From the Quilt Dashboard, open the quilt you'd like to work on.
- Note: In this example, the quilt looks like this before using the randomize feature.

- 4.Select Randomize using your Fabric Pull (Kona) option from the dropdown menu.
- 5.Click on the Select button for the Fabric Pull we'd like to use to randomize the color tags.
- Note: In this example, I used the Fabric Pull called "Prints". The pop-up window will close.
- 6.Click on the Colors button.
- Note: The color tags in the block will now be updated to randomly used printed fabrics that are in the fabric pull we created.
-
- 7.Click on the Colors button as many times as you'd like to continue randomly generating different printed fabric combinations.
- TIP: As you find printed fabrics you like, lock the color tag.
- Note: In this example, the quilt looks like this after using the randomize feature.
