Starting Your Machine, Launching CS, Setting Point of Origin

To launch the CreativeStudio software:

1. Double click on the CS7 Icon on your desktop. A dialog box might appear asking if you want CS to make changes to your computer. If it appears, click ‘yes.’

2. Follow the prompt in the lower left corner of the screen. Move the stitcher to a known location, like the upper right or upper left corner of the table to set your Point of Origin. Notice the green dot below the PROMPTS box. This means the stitcher and controller are connected. A blue dot means Stand Alone Mode, and a red dot is a warning.

3. Click OK on the keypad to set the point of origin and the Main Screen appears.

Point of Origin

After turning on your Statler, you are always prompted to set the point of origin upon opening CreativeStudio.

For all pattern placement, the point of origin is the ‘basepoint.” Think of the CAD as a graph with the point of origin as the center with coordinates (0,0). All pattern placement is defined from the center.  The point of origin can be anywhere you select but it should be easily repeatable each time you turn on your machine. Generally, quilters pull the machine all the way to the front or push it all the way to the back and move it a s far as it will go to one side of the table to use one of the four corners as the point of origin.
