Chapter 1

Getting started

A new project, the parts of the workspace, and how your work is saved.

New project

Press "New project" on My projects. Choose "Block quilt" to build your own blocks from units and repeat them in a quilt, one of the overall patterns (Color by Number, Trip Around the World or Bargello), "Pixel quilt" to draw your own pattern of squares, "Pixel quilt from a photo" to start from a photo, or "From a pattern …" to start from a classic block or a whole quilt.

The "Patterns" page in the menu shows every block and quilt you can start from. Search by name, in Danish too, or filter by family and difficulty, and press "Use this pattern".

The workspace

On the left is the palette with your fabrics. In the middle the tabs switch between "Block", where you build the block, and "Quilt", where you see and change the whole quilt. On the right the quilt panel shows the whole quilt and its settings; on a smaller screen the "Quilt" button in the bar opens it.

On a phone, palette, block and quilt are tabs at the bottom of the screen. At the top are the project's name, "Cutting" and "Share and print", and the arrow takes you back to your projects.

Inches or centimetres

Choose "Inches" or "cm" at the top. Every measurement in the block and the quilt is a finished size, without seam allowance. The seam allowance is added in the cutting chart: ¼" in inches or 0.75 cm in centimetres.

Saved and undone

Everything you do is saved at once, here in the browser ("Saved locally"). Undo and redo are in the bar, and Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y work too. Take a backup now and then: see the chapter "Save, share and back up".
