Overview 4.1
Pro-Stitcher Operating System
The Pro-Stitcher runs on a touch-screen computer
with Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system.
Because the Pro-Stitcher software is running in a
Windows 7 environment, there may be times that
the quilter will notice things such as the Windows
desktop or the Windows taskbar.
Those who are unfamiliar with the Windows 7
operating system or computers in general, will
benefit by taking a class or finding other ways to
learn more about the basics of Windows 7.
In order to maintain the integrity of the Pro-Stitcher
software, it is best to avoid using the Pro-Stitcher
computer as a typical desktop or tablet computer.
Connecting to the Internet without the direction
or tools provided by Baby Lock may result in
Windows 7 attempting to perform updates that
could potentially be incompatible with the Pro-
Stitcher software. It also may lead to unintentional
exposure to viruses and other malware that may
compromise the integrity of the Pro-Stitcher system
or lead to other problems that may not be covered by
the warranty.
To get the most of your Pro-Stitcher system, Baby
Lock recommends using the Pro-Stitcher computer
only as directed to run the Pro-Stitcher software, the
Art & Stitch
software, and other software provided by
or recommended by Baby Lock.
