For Studio Testing

Inklingo Quilt Studio — Tester Download

Thank you for being a tester of the new Inklingo Quilt Studio! Your feedback at this stage is very important.

Download links

Until the Studio is officially released, this download page is for testers like you only.

You may see a security warning

Inklingo Quilt Studio is new. On both Windows and macOS, new software often triggers a security alert, such as “unknown publisher” or “suspicious file.” This happens before an app has established a reputation with the operating system and does not indicate a problem with the software itself.

If you download Inklingo Quilt Studio directly from Inklingo, you can safely proceed.

  • Windows: Click More info, then Run anyway (not Run away 😉)

  • Mac: Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, then click Open Anyway

Logging in

  • Use your usual Inklingo email address and password to log in.

  • If you log out of the Studio, you will need to enter your email address and password the next time you open it.

  • If you simply close the Studio, you will not need to enter your email address and password the next time you open it.

What to test (and how)

Please keep notes as you test and send them to me at [email protected].
That is the most important part of being a tester.

There is a checklist (PDF). You don’t have to use it. It is just a guide. You may decide to do things that are not on the list.

Since you are already experienced with Inklingo, the main difference you’ll notice is that you no longer need to cut freezer paper to a custom size.

You may need to experiment with where to position custom-sized fabric on the freezer paper. It is a good idea to print on scrap paper first, then on fabric ironed to freezer paper (letter, legal, or any standard size your printer supports). For example:

  • Portrait: I place the fabric at the left corner of the leading edge (plastic side). The leading edge is the edge that feeds into the printer first. I usually leave a little less than 0.25 inch of freezer paper bare on the leading edge.

  • Landscape: I place the fabric at the right corner of the leading edge (plastic side)

Is this the same for you?
Would you recommend a “cheat sheet” at the ironing board? What should it say?

Test freely — and be critical

Please test everything you can think of and keep notes. Use it as you would any Inklingo shape collection.

I am already looking ahead to the next version (primarily for iPads and Android tablets), and I expect to incorporate your suggestions.

  • Help & FAQ doesn’t exist yet—what would you expect to see there?

  • I am uploading shape collections and design books as quickly as possible, so some will be missing from your library. You can still access them the old way.

  • Please tell me about anything you notice, good or bad—but especially anything that confuses you or that you think will require more instructions.

You won’t hurt my feelings. Truly. Big things, small things, good things, bad things — I want it all.

Do you know anyone else who might be interested in taking on the tester role?

Thank you again for helping shape the future of Inklingo Quilt Studio. 💙 I appreciate it!
