Help Guide

01 | Adding Block to Entire Quilt Grid

First option is adding the same block to every cell block in the entire quilt.

1. Click on the infinity sign (∞) in the top left corner of the quilt grid.

   • Note: All the cells are selected and are outlined in blue.
2. In the BLOCKS tab, click on the Add To Quilt button next to the Sawtooth Star block.
3. Deselect the cells by clicking anywhere outside the quilt grid. The result is the same block in every spot on the quilt.

02 | Removing Quilt Blocks from the Quilt Grid

To remove a quilt block or multiple quilt blocks from the quilt grid:

1. Select the quilt block(s) you want to remove by clicking on them.

2. On the keyboard, press the Delete button.

   • Note: You can also use the Back Space button to delete blocks.

3. The selected blocks have been removed and the corresponding quilt grid cells are now empty.

03 | Using the Selection Tool Button

Another option is to use the Selection Tool button found on the vertical Toolbar to select cells blocks in the quilt grid. This has many options, so give them all a try. In this example, I'll showcase one of the checkerboard options.

2. Click on one of the selection options. In this example, I've selected Checker Odd.
3. In the BLOCKS tab, click on the Add To Quilt button next to the Sawtooth Star block.
4. Deselect the cells by clicking anywhere outside the quilt grid. The result is the same block has been added to a checkerboard pattern on the quilt.

04 | Save the Quilt

Now it's time to save your quilt! This will save all the work done so far on your quilt - blocks, fabric links, and overall quilt dimensions.

2. Click on Save to save and continue working on your quilt.

   • Optional: You can also turn on AutoSave by toggling the button to On.
