PS Connect FAQ List2023-05-18T12:17:56-06:00
Will Windows prompt me to update the tablet while I’m quilting using PS Connect?2023-05-25T15:49:53-06:00

No. Pro-Stitcher manages the connectivity in PS Connect so that the Wi-Fi will be disengaged when stitching using either the Premium or Lite models. When you hop back over to the PS Patterns tab or the Tutorials tab in the software, the Wi-Fi will automatically reconnect. This way, you have the internet when you need it and your quilting shouldn’t be disrupted by tablet updates.

You cannot browse the internet on your Pro-Stitcher tablet, even when the Wi-Fi is enabled. You can only access ProStitcher.com and our videos.

Will having digital designs on my tablet use up all its memory/space?2023-05-22T15:13:32-06:00

No. The vector-based graphic files are relatively small, and you are not at risk of filling up your tablet space with Pro-Stitcher patterns.

Why does the on-screen keyboard pop up when the numerical keypad is selected?2020-01-04T15:47:09-07:00

What is a Beta release?2020-01-04T15:48:08-07:00

Beta software refers to computer software that has gone through our internal testing processes, but has not yet been tested in the real world, and therefore is not officially released as a final version. Releasing a Beta version allows Pro-Stitcher engineers to get bug fixes and new features into quilters hands sooner, and gives quilters the opportunity to provide feedback to our developers. Remember, you can always rollback to a previous version if you find you are having difficulties.

What file formats are available for the digital quilting designs?2023-05-16T14:29:37-06:00
