Licensing

When using Art & Stch for the rst me, the quilter must enter some informaon to acvate the license.

Refer to the instrucons in the Art & Stch soware box for oine acvaon. All network connecons

have intenonally been disabled on the Pro-Stcher computer to prevent the computer from downloading

updates or viruses that would adversely aect the performance of Pro-Stcher.

Using a mouse or keyboard

Many funcons in Art & Stch are much simpler when using a mouse and keyboard. When using the

pop-up keyboard, it may be necessary to press an area on the screen where the text is to be entered

before typing on the keyboard. While the pop-up keyboard is a quick keyboard soluon, it may be more

convenient to use a convenonal mouse and keyboard. The Pro-Stcher computer works with most wired

and wireless USB keyboards and mice. Just plug the keyboard, mouse, or wireless dongle into an available

USB port, wait a minute for Windows to install appropriate drivers, and then use the keyboard or mouse. A

USB hub may be used to expand the number of available USB ports. Keyboards, mice, and USB hubs can be

purchased from most electronics retailers.
