# Printed Fabrics Randomizer

## <mark style="color:blue;">Randomize Fabrics</mark>

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.

## <mark style="color:blue;">1 | Create a Fabric Pull</mark>

1. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Fabric Pull**</mark> tab on the main Dashboard.

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.&#x20;

   * In this example, I selected Paintbrush Studio's solids.

5. Then click on the colors you'd like to include in your fabric pull.&#x20;

   * Note: You will notice that they are added to the right side box.

6. To add printed fabrics, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Fabrics**</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">**tab**</mark>.&#x20;

   * Note: You will then see tiles for all the printed fabrics you've added to PreQuilt.

## <mark style="color:blue;">2 | Randomize Using a Fabric Pull</mark>

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, <mark style="color:blue;">**open**</mark> the quilt you'd like to work on.

   * Note: In this example, the quilt looks like this before using the randomize feature.

   <div><figure><img src="/files/IlV53iyDWgxlK9qU7FXs" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Close up of the block</em></p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/hOL8Tpbi2AV12KCQDX8c" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Block being uesd in the quilt</em></p></figcaption></figure></div>
2. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**RANDOMIZE**</mark> tab on the left side control panel.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/O21NA3b3GFRzAiYxmdAJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
3. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**three dots**</mark> next to the Colors button.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/zSHJIrdlTNooDEUUzcbQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
4. Select <mark style="color:blue;">**Randomize using your Fabric Pull (Kona)**</mark> option from the dropdown menu.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/KuakaC4d5RUWhHgbsyMj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
5. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Select**</mark> 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 <mark style="color:blue;">**Colors**</mark> button.&#x20;
   * 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.

   * <mark style="color:blue;">**TIP**</mark>: 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.

8. <mark style="color:blue;">**Save**</mark> the quilt once you find a randomized pull you enjoy.

## 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-features/randomization/printed-fabrics-randomizer.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.
