So how do you use Thinksy? Well the basics are pretty simple. Here is a video if you are more of a visual learner and we’ll give you the written rundown below. The video features patterns by Itch to Stitch and Madeit Patterns.
- Login to the app.
- Upload a line drawing you would like to use to “my templates”. This can be a screenshot, hand drawn, digitally drawn or regular photo image.
- Upload photos of your fabric that you want to use in your template. (These must be square or they will distort so when cropping, crop to a square)
You don’t technically have to upload your templates or fabrics before starting a project. You can simply choose “Start Project” and take photos from there of your templates and fabrics, but you will have to upload them every time you want to use them. That means when you switch back and forth between fabrics and colors it will take longer. Uploading everything and saving them to the app before starting a project is the easiest way to simplify your process.
- Choose your template from “my templates”.
- Click the paint bucket and select your fill. (This can be images you previously uploaded, images on your phone or images you want to take photos of right now.)
- If you want to edit your images do a long press on the image you want to edit. You can then re-size, move and rotate the fill before clicking the checkmark to end editing.
- Design, Edit, Change and PLAY to your heart’s content.
- Save your final project. This will save to your Thinksy Projects. If you want to download the finished mock-up, go to “My Projects,” choose your image and select the download button.
Now you can share, compare or print your image.
