What’s New in CreativeStudio 7.3

What’s New in CreativeStudio 7.3

New! Pattern delete features

CreativeStudio has several new features to make deleting patterns more simple. You now have the ability to view, search and restore deleted patterns in CreativeStudio or PatternCloud. When patterns are deleted or restored in CreativeStudio or PatternCloud, simply sync to apply the changes globally. You also have the option to permanently delete patterns. Permanent delete is not applied globally.

New and improved patterns!  

Now, 25 border corner pattern sets have been added or improved to work better with the border corner function. A total of 74 patterns have been added to CreativeStudio. The next time you sync, CreativeStudio will be updated with these changes.

Improved Sync

Pattern type, tag, collection, and favorite syncing have all been improved to make organizing your patterns more simple and effective.

Special Characters added

Searching for tags with special characters is now possible in CS and PatternCloud. The added characters are &.’_-~()+

Login Improvements 

CreativeStudio will now keep the user logged into PatternCloud after a restart. Please note, you will need to log back in one time after the new software install.

Improved Notifications

If CreativeStudio is unable to connect to the stitcher, the notification will now contain information about why it is unable to connect. This will help users troubleshoot connection issues.

Cursive Text Patterns

CreativeStudio now hides the cursive letters used in the text function from the pattern list.

Auto Turn Off of Pause

CreativeStudio will now time out when the machine is left in a pause state for an extended period of time. This will prevent damage to your machine from being left in the wrong state for an extended period of time. If timed out, the user can use Restart Quilting to begin stitching again.

New offline registration directions

If you don’t have internet available at your stitcher, directions for how to use the offline registration process are now available under the Help menu.
