Stand Alone Mode
Stand Alone Mode, known as SAM, is an important aspect of CS (CreativeStudio). It is a copy of the software without the drivers that control the stitcher. SAM can be used on most computers so you can do thing like:
- practice CreativeStudio features
- create or alter patterns
- manage your patterns and their tags
- access the integrated manual
- and more
Statler and Ascend owners can also create new CreativeStudio projects on a laptop while your stitcher is quilting. The new project can be saved and transferred to your stitcher to use when you are ready. There are times when the screen images in SAM look a little different than their counterpart on the Statler - for instance, the Machine Keypad. The keypad image does not appear on the screen in SAM. In addition, some feature icons are grayed out in SAM mode because they require a stitcher head to complete the action.
CreativeStudio Stand Alone Mode can be run on most Windows-based computers. For CS SAM, Gammill suggests a computer with 8 GB of ram or higher, intel i3 or i5, 250 GB solid-state drive or better, and Windows 10 OS.
