iPhone & iPad

Use the designer tools on iPhone and iPad

Under the quilt, or beside it on a wide screen, is the tool dock: Paint, Select, Search and Eraser, then Library, Layout and More.

Where to find it

Open a quilt from Studio → the tool dock under the quilt (or the panel beside it when the screen is wider than tall).

How to do it

  1. Tap Paint, choose a color or fabric in the chip above the tools, then tap pieces on the quilt to fill them.
  2. Tap Library for every color, fabric, shape and block, in the Paint With sheet.
  3. Tap Select, then tap a piece and drag it to move it. Drag on empty space to box several at once.
  4. Tap Eraser, then tap pieces to take them off. Search finds pieces by fabric, shape or turn and picks up every match.
  5. Tap Layout for the quilt's size, grid, sashing and borders.

Good to know

  • Press and hold a tool to watch a short film of what it does.
  • Press and hold a piece for its menu: recolor, turn, duplicate, select every piece like it, or delete it.
  • Undo and Redo are in the top bar, and More in the dock has Clear the Whole Quilt.
