Getting a deleted quilt back
Nothing you delete in Quarter Inch is gone at once. Quilts and files wait in Recently deleted for 30 days, so you can put them back.
The short answer
A quilt you delete isn’t gone at once: deleted quilts and files wait in Recently deleted for 30 days, then they’re gone for good. To get one back, choose Recently deleted in the sidebar, find the quilt and choose Put back.
Get a deleted quilt back
Choose Recently deleted in the sidebar. It’s there only while something is in it.
Find the quilt or file. Each one says when it was deleted, and when it will be gone for good.
Choose Put back. It’s back in your library, just as it was, and the page offers Open it.
How long things wait
Quilts and files wait in Recently deleted for 30 days. Then they’re deleted for good, our copy of your original EQ file included. The EQ files on your own computer are never touched.
What happens when you delete
In your library, a quilt’s ⋯ menu has Delete…. The box that opens names the quilt and says until when you can put it back.
- For a quilt from an EQ file that holds other quilts too, choose Just this quilt or The whole file.
- Choose Move to Recently deleted to delete it, or Keep it to change your mind.
- If a pattern uses the quilt, the pattern waits, read-only, until you put the quilt back.
- On the Free plan, deleting a quilt you were designing frees its place at once.
Putting back on the Free plan A quilt you were designing takes its place again when you put it back. With all 3 places in use, Put back opens the same choice as New quilt: get Quilter, or make room by deleting a quilt you’ve finished with. A quilt from an EQ file you never changed doesn’t count, so it always comes back.
Deleting for good straight away
In Recently deleted, Delete now removes a quilt or file at once, our copy of the original included. It can’t be undone. To delete your whole account, see Delete your account.
If it doesn’t look right
- There’s no Recently deleted in the sidebar. Nothing is waiting there. Anything deleted more than 30 days ago is gone for good.
- A quilt from an EQ file isn’t listed on its own. If you deleted The whole file, the file is listed, with its quilts inside. Put back the file.
- It isn’t in your export. Quilts in Recently deleted aren’t included in Export everything. Put them back first.
