Art & Stitch 6.1
6. Art & Stitch
Art & Stitch is comprehensive quilting-design
software for creating and modifying quilting
designs. It is included with the Pro-Stitcher. The
Pro-Stitcher can pass designs quickly and easily into
Art & Stitch to enable the quilter to use any of the
Art & Stitch tools to modify the design however
necessary. Art & Stitch automatically loads when
the Pro-Stitcher starts and runs in the background,
so passing files from Pro-Stitcher to Art & Stitch
happens very quickly.
To pass the design to Art & Stitch, select the Design
menu and then press the Art & Stitch sub-menu
button. Press the Open button at the bottom of the
screen to open the Art & Stitch software (Figure 6.1).
If Art & Stitch is open and has been licensed, the
design will open in Art & Stitch. If Art & Stitch has
not yet been licensed, a licensing screen will appear
for entering license information. Pressing the Close
button will bypass registration but the quilter will not
be able to save any changes to the design until the Art
& Stitch license is activated (Figure 6.2). Follow the
instructions in the Art & Stitch instruction manual
for offline activation.
When the design is passed into Art & Stitch, the
position information is maintained; as long as the
design is not moved in Art & Stitch, it will be in the
same location when it is passed back to Pro-Stitcher.
Pass the modified design back to Pro-Stitcher by
pressing the Pro-Stitcher button on the Art & Stitch
toolbar on the left-hand side of the Art & Stitch
screen (Figure 6.3).
CAUTION: If a design is opened in Art & Stitch
without using the Pro-Stitcher software and the
Pro-Stitcher button is pressed to pass the design into
the Pro-Stitcher software, the design will be saved
in its current state with the same name it had when
it was opened. This could lead to unintentionally
writing over a design. To avoid this, always save
the design with a new working name when it is
directly loaded in Art & Stitch.
