Help Guide

A Fabric Link is used to connect a particular quilt block piece (bottom left HST patch) to a particular fabric swatch (Ruby Star swatch on the right).

So when the fabric swatch used by a Fabric Link is changed (from a solid to another solid or from a solid to a printed fabric swatch or from a printed fabric swatch to another printed fabric swatch), everything that is using that Fabric Link will also change and be updated automatically.

Module 4a: What is a Fabric Link?
The HST patch is linked to the Ruby Star swatch.
It'll look like this once applied.
It'll look like this when the fabric swatch being used in the Fabric Link is changed.
