10 | Add binding and/or borders to your quilt design.
Objective | To add borders (using the quick method) and binding to your quilt design in PreQuilt.
Did You Know | You can also preview your binding using digital fabric swatches.
Click on the BINDING/BORDER tab on the left side control panel.
Click on the 'Add Border' button.
A 2" border will automatically be added around the entire quilt. Change the border to 4" and choose a Color Tag from the dropdown Fabric menu for the borders color.
In this example, I'll keep it Color Tag A, which is also the background fabric.
If you'd like to add another border, repeat Steps 02a.2-3 to add up 3 borders around the outside of the quilt grid.
In this example, I have added 2 quick method borders.
Click on the BINDING/BORDER tab on the left side control panel.
Select your desired binding width by pressing the + button.
Using the dropdown menu, select your binding fabric Color Tag. In this example, I used the solid fabric associated with Color Tag B.
Now your quilt has binding!
Import the digital fabric swatch for your printed fabric.
Click on the BINDING/BORDER tab on the left side control panel.
Select your desired binding width by pressing the + button.
Using the dropdown menu, select your binding fabric Color Tag. In this example, I used the printed fabric associated with Color Tag D.
Now your quilt has binding using printed fabric!
