Origin Point
3.1.1 Origin Point
CS requires an “Origin” point which is a reference point used for the placement of
patterns. This origin is set (using the sewing head) every time the CS software is
started.  
Move to repeatable table position and Click OK is the very first step
CreativeStudio ® asks you to do. Most people push their machine to the upper...

CS saves projects with a  file extension
 of .proj or .projx. The extension is
determined by the type of patterns used. If the project includes only unencrypted
patterns (like those that came with the Statler Stitcher) the file extension will be
“proj”. If the project includes patterns that were purchased from a designer who 
encrypted
 them to run on one machine only, the file extension will be “projx”. Once
an encrypted pattern is added to the projects pattern...

possible, and each group added can be given a...

2. Edge to Edge - is an example of a quilt group that is automatically created by the 
Edge-to-Edge
 (E2E) feature. Pattern size and alignment is very important in E2E,
so CS controls this in its own quilt group. 
3. Border - is another quilt group that was created for this quilt. It will be used to
create boundaries & position border patterns.  
There is no limit to the number of quilt groups that could be used. Some quilts
require only one quilt group (like E2E),...
