Using private rooms

Private Rooms allow to colour a pattern to a selected group of QuiltInk users.

Using the Private Rooms

To access the Private Room all the users invited will see a purple floating button in the top right of your account profile box. Click it and you will access to the Private Rooms page.

The Private Rooms page is a mix between the QuiltInk Wall and a “Colour Layouts” main page for a pattern. So:

  • At the top, you will see all the patterns with a Private Room you have access to.
  • By clicking over one of the patterns on top, you will have access to the Private Room of this pattern, and you will see below all the Color Versions of this pattern made by you or the users included in
    this private room, which you can “love”, save in your favorites, export, etc. (all you can do in the public Wall).
  • To create a new Color Version of the pattern, click the “NEW +” button, over the second bar. The Colour Layouts page will be opened in the same way it does in the QuiltInk main patterns page. Click the Colour Layout you want to use as a basis and the colouring page will open, in the same way as in the public mode.
  • Make your colour versions and save them as finished versions or as Drafts, in the same way than in the public mode.
  • In your account, for your colour versions made in a private room, you will see an extra “Eye” and “Cloud” icons in a purple box. They are the icon you can use to make that Colour Versions visible or not in the private room Wall, “Eye” icon in the Saved versions, and to turn a Draft from a Private Room into a Saved from a Private Room, “Cloud” icon in the Draft versions. 

IMPORTANT: When you create a Colour version in a Private Room it won’t be published in the public Wall regardless the pattern is activated or not, and the “Eye” icon to share in the public Wall will be crossed. So, REMEMBER when the designer activates the pattern to appear as a public pattern in the main QuiltInk page, to click the “Eye” icon for your Colour Version appears in the public Wall (The “Eye” icon which is not in a purple box).

When a Private Room is closed, the Colour Versions made in that private room will turn into Colour Versions made from an active pattern in the main page. 
There is no possibility to reopen a Private Room closed.

Exporting your design

Sometimes you’d like to share your design on social media or save it in your device. With Quilt Ink this is as easy as clicking twice.

You have two export options: in PNG format or PDF format. Both options include exporting just an mock up of your design or the mock up along with the information about the design (colours used, size, lay out and link)

Click on the square with an arrow icon

A new window will pop up as shown below. First, select on the left side top menu if you wish to save the full page with all the info or just an image of your design.

Once you’ve chosen this option, on the right side of the top menu, click on the format needed: pdf or png.
