01 | Subscribe to PreQuilt!

02 | Prepwork -> Import Your Printed Fabric Swatches & Set Its Width

Before being able to use a digital fabric swatch in a digital coloring page, you'll need to do a bit of prepwork first. You'll need to:

  1. Find your printed fabric swatch online and save it to your computer.

  2. Import your printed fabric swatch into PreQuilt.

  3. Set the width of the printed fabric swatch & crop out any rulers.

Click on the below Help Guide links to learn more.

03 | Use a Printed Fabric Swatch in a Digital Coloring Page

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 Edit button associated with the Fabric Link you'd like to change. In this example, I'll be changing C5.

  2. Click on the PRINTS tab on the fabric swatch panel that will slide out.

  3. You will see all the prints that you have already imported to PreQuilt here.

  4. Click on the Select button for the printed fabric swatch you'd like to use.

  5. You can now see the quilt using our fabric swatch!
