## <mark style="color:blue;">03 | Use a Printed Fabric Swatch in a Digital Coloring Page</mark>

Once you've found and prepared your printed fabric swatch (Step 1 above), we can now use it in our digital coloring page.

For this example, I am going to use Suzy Quilts' Tiny Meadow in Nova fabric from her Evolve collection from AGF.

1. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Edit**</mark> button associated with the Fabric Link you'd like to change. In this example, I'll be changing C5.

2. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**PRINTS**</mark> tab on the fabric swatch panel that will slide out.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/8ITECAcBHs75TfmypNIR" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
3. You will see all the prints that you have already imported to PreQuilt here.

4. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Select**</mark> button for the printed fabric swatch you'd like to use.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/sUzwmKNCzm0MXeJFObjG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
5. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**x button**</mark> (<img src="/files/uzDomi9DW7pf8UmCPLWq" alt="" data-size="line">) on the top right side of the Fabric Link panel to close the panel.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/rFoaYobHwkGQ2ffT7UQB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
6. You can now see the quilt using our fabric swatch!
