Desktop, iPad, and iPhone

One project model should work across devices. Not every device should expose every tool.

Desktop​

Desktop is the primary editing surface.

Use it for:

  • import review;
  • object editing;
  • stitch inspection;
  • text and font work;
  • thread mapping;
  • sequence review;
  • warning repair;
  • export preflight.

Desktop has enough room for the canvas, object list, inspector, and timeline at the same time. Use that room. Embroidery problems often require all four views.

iPad​

iPad is best for direct manipulation and review: placement, drawing, lettering, color checks, guided repair, proof annotation, and machine-side worksheet use.

Dense panels and raw stitch surgery should be avoided unless the interaction is redesigned for touch.

iPhone​

iPhone is the companion surface.

Use it for:

  • opening proofs;
  • checking dimensions;
  • reading thread order;
  • following sew steps;
  • reviewing warnings;
  • approving or requesting changes;
  • making safe prepared edits such as approved colorway changes.

Do not cram the desktop editor into a phone. It creates false precision.

Browser and install​

Satin Studio runs in the browser and may be installed as an app-like PWA depending on platform support. Saved projects keep work available across devices when the workspace is synced.
