Getting started

1. Sign in​

Open Satin Studio and sign in. Choose the workspace before creating or importing a project. The workspace controls where the project is saved and who can access it.

If your deployment uses invite codes, enter the code before account creation.

2. Start a project​

Use one of these inputs:

  • saved workspace project;
  • SVG artwork;
  • PES or PEC machine file;
  • TTF or OTF font asset;
  • blank project.

See File formats and status for the exact support matrix.

3. Set the physical context​

Do this before detailed edits:

  • choose the machine/output target;
  • choose the hoop and safe stitch area;
  • choose the fabric profile;
  • record stabilizer notes if they matter;
  • set or review the thread list.

These values affect warnings and export confidence. A dense fill on canvas and a dense fill on knit are not the same problem.

4. Read the project as a sewing plan​

Do not inspect only the finished picture. Check:

  • object list;
  • stitch preview;
  • thread blocks;
  • sequence;
  • jumps and trims;
  • warnings;
  • export target.

For imported PES/PEC files, remember that the file is a stitch stream. The original design objects may not be present.

5. Make edits at the highest safe level​

Prefer object edits when the object exists. Use stitch-level repair only when the source is a manual stitch block or when an object-level change cannot express the fix.

Source order:

project source -> compile -> preview/export

Do not patch the exported machine file if the project source can be fixed.

6. Export deliberately​

Before export, confirm:

  • hoop match;
  • fabric assumption;
  • thread order;
  • unresolved warnings;
  • output format;
  • project version.

PES export is available now. Other machine exports are planned or under research.
