# 10b | Printed Fabric Binding ## Module 10b | How to Add Printed Fabric Binding In this sub-module, you'll learn how to add binding using a printed fabric swatch to your quilt. **Hot Tip:** You can now use striped fabric in your binding! We've developed PreQuilt to wrap the binding around the quilt the same way you'd sew it on in real life, so you can get striped binding all pointing in towards the quilt. *** ## YouTube Video {% embed url="" %} Module 10b: How to Add Binding Using a Printed Fabric Swatch {% endembed %} *** ## Help Guide ### 01 | Add Binding The first step is to add binding to our quilt. 1. Click on the **BINDING/BORDER tab** on the left side control panel.
2. **Enter the width** of your binding.
3. **Select the fabric link** that you'd like to use as the binding from the dropdown menu. In this example, I'll want to use C.
4. You will now see your quilt with binding, but it's still using a solid fabric.
### 02 | Choosing Binding Fabric {% hint style="info" %} **TIP:** Make sure that you've already loaded your digital fabric swatch for the fabric you'd like to use for your binding. {% endhint %} Now that you have your binding in place, we can now change the fabric to the printed fabric of our choosing. 1. Click on the **FABRIC LINKS** **tab** on the left side control panel.
2. Click on the **Edit button** for Fabric Link C (which is the fabric link we're using for our binding).
3. The Fabric Link panel will slide out. Click on the **PRINTS tab**.
4. Click on the **Select button** for the printed fabric swatch you would like to use as your binding fabric.
5. Click on the **x button** (![](https://2632437258-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZIxhpDEaPtVb8DXlSENh%2Fuploads%2FtjX9UsbbeK9YRMiV4NOz%2FScreen%20Shot%202024-06-04%20at%201.48.04%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=7d09d5f6-50b3-4fe3-a03e-ecbda0a6c0c6)) on the Fabric Link panel to close it.
