Hello QuiltCon!
Gar and I are so excited to be vending for the third time in Phoenix! If you’d like to learn more about PreQuilt, our quilt design software, please swing by Booth 229.
We have free stickers (reflective!), daily giveaways, amazingly talented guests, and our fun Matchy Patchy game.
We can’t wait to meet you and chat about PreQuilt and how it might fit into your quilting practice. (We’ll also have our two boys helping us out).
And if you’ve gotten a chance to read my Bojagi article in the QuiltCon Magazine, you can also check out my quilt, I Am Korean Adjacent.

NEW FEATURE ALERT: FABRIC CALCULATOR
Gar and I are pretty excited to announce (really we're ecstatic) that our new feature, Fabric Calculations, is now live for all PreQuilt subscribers! What?!? Yes, finally!
Here's a summary of the quilt math you'll get for every quilt you design*:
+ Total yardage needed
+ Fabric cutting diagrams
+ Block blowouts with IDs
+ Alternative construction methods
+ Backing fabric
+ Binding fabric
*Note: There will be no fabric calculations available for designer coloring pages - Go buy the pattern for that information!
Disclaimer: We did our best to create the *perfect* Fabric Calculator. But you know, we're not perfect and so we ask you to please review the calculations before cutting all your fabric. Thank you!
We're excited for you all to enjoy this new feature and we hope it decreases the gap between dreaming and making!

Yelp! Help!
We completely understand that learning something new is hard. And we want to make it a bit easier (and fun and addictive and dive-in-able) for you, which is why we’ve launched a written PreQuilt Help Guide. If you’re new to PreQuilt - give the tutorial, First PreQuilt Quilt, a try.
And if you’re in the Atlanta area in February 2023 and would like a hands-on workshop, come and join us at QuiltCon! We have 4 PreQuilt workshops available to help you dive into visualizing your quilts on PreQuilt.

NEW FEATURE: ADVANCED SEARCH
Thanks to all the great feedback we've received, we now have a new way to search through the preloaded fabric on PreQuilt.
Looking for things isn't fun! But with the new advanced search feature, you can search through a manufacturer's fabric swatches by Collection Name, SKU, Fabric Name, and/or Colorway!

Calling all fabric manufacturers! We'd love to load your fabric swatches in PreQuilt!
And quilters - whose fabric would you love to see in PreQuilt?
We load all fabric to scale, so it's always showing up in your quilts at just the right size.
DM us if you'd like to chat about loading your fabrics into PreQuilt!

The Princess Knot is alive in the hands of our testers and the design is already showing just how beautifully it transforms with different fabric choices.
These four colorway explorations were created in PreQuilt using fabrics selected by one of the testers. From the deep jewel tones of purple and green to the soft romance of pink and sage, each version tells a completely different story and yet the knot itself remains unmistakably Celtic.
There is something quietly wonderful about watching a pattern take on a life of its own in someone else’s hands and color sense.
The Princess Knot: Grá Geal Mo Chroí is finding its people and I am so excited to see what comes next.
What color way would you choose?
NEW FEATURE - SOFT LAUNCH!
We've been working on the way you can organize your fabrics! You can now BULK EDIT your fabrics all in the Tags View.
What can you BULK EDIT? You can bulk crop, set the width of a swatch in bulk, bulk set your quantities, and change the information for you swatches in bulk!
We'd love your feedback, so let us know what you think!
PS - We're going to rearrange the columns soon!
