Share Your Quilt
Share access to your quilt design with another PreQuilt subscriber & they can clone it to their account.
WARNING: When you share access to your quilt, anyone with the URL will be able to see everything in your quilt (blocks, fabrics, etc).
This is not a digital coloring page (see FAQs below for more info).
NOTE: Sharing a quilt is not collaborating on a quilt. Your original design can only be changed and saved by you. The shared quilt can only be copied (cloned), so the original is not affected. The cloned copy becomes its own version of your original quilt.
Quilt Accessibility for Cloning
Sometimes you might make a quilt design and you want to allow another PreQuilt subscriber to copy your quilt design and save it to their own PreQuilt account.
Well, with this feature, you can generate a sharable URL for your quilt design and give that to another PreQuilt subscriber. They can then clone a copy of your quilt to their account and create their own version.
FAQs
How is this different from a digital coloring page?
A digital coloring page enables anyone (no PreQuilt subscription required) to recolor your quilt design using their own fabric choices. They can ONLY change the fabrics being used. They will not be able to see individual blocks or redesign your quilt.
Shared access to a quilt enables PreQuilt subscribers to copy your quilt design to their own PreQuilt account. Once cloned, they can change where fabrics are being used, can redesign blocks, and can really change anything and everything from the original quilt.
Do changes someone makes to their copy affect the original quilt?
No. The original design can only be changed or edited by the owner of the original quilt. Any changes that are made after using the URL will not affect the original design.
