Managing Recorded Files<br />
One of the outstanding features of CreativeStudio is the ability to use the stitcher to<br />
create an original design by recording 151<br />
the motions for stitching that design and<br />
save them so it can be used repeatedly. CS will automatically name the pattern file<br />
and save it to a folder on your computer. The path is:<br />
C:\Patterns Recorded\RecordedQLI_yyyyMondd_hhmmss.qli.<br />
This looks scary but it is really very logical. The new pattern file needs a name that is<br />
unique, and the current date and time make it unique. A pattern recorded on St. Patrick's<br />
Day, shortly after noon might be named<br />
C:\Patterns Recorded\RecordedQLI_2008Mar17_120345.qli.<br />
It can be found in the folder C:\Recorded Patterns.<br />
If a fish pattern had been recorded on St. Patrick's Day and it turned out so well that it is<br />
sure to be used again, it is a good idea to rename the recorded file, giving it a descriptive<br />
name. Then it should be moved from the 'Patterns Recorded' folder into 'My Patterns' folder.<br />
Using the steps above.<br />
Buying Pattern Files<br />
Statler Stitcher owners seem to share an appreciation for beauty and perfection.<br />
This is one of the reasons we tend to build a stash of patterns. Finding the perfect<br />
motif for a quilt is fun and stitching it out is very satisfying. So, building a stash of<br />
patterns is bound to happen. Each designer has a style of their own, so try patterns<br />
from multiple designers, and collect all their pattern catalogs too ! They are really<br />
inspirational. When ready to place an order, here is what to do:<br />
1. Logon to their website and view their catalogs. Most catalogs have shopping cart<br />
functions, so you can be adding patterns to your shopping cart as you find them.<br />
When you are done shopping, follow the instructions for checking out and paying for<br />
the patterns. Each designer does this a little differently so follow their directions<br />
carefully. One of the steps is to give your name, address and email address. The<br />
designer will either email the patterns to you or tell you how to <strong>download</strong> them<br />
yourself.<br />
2. When you get your patterns save them to your home computer first. (This<br />
assumes that your home computer has internet access, a firewall and virus security<br />
software.) All new files should be received by (and saved on) your home computer<br />
so it can check them for viruses, etc. The Statler Stitcher should never be connected<br />
to a network or to the internet.<br />
