*Pro-Stitcher 101: Foundations Retreat

You’ve got your shiny Pro-Stitcher screen lit up, coffee in hand, and that little voice whispering… “Now what?”
Buttons everywhere, menus galore, tabs you didn’t even know existed — and a blinking cursor that looks like it’s laughing at you.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. We’ve all been there — staring at that tablet, hoping it magically quilts itself. But here’s the good news: by the end of this retreat, you’ll not only understand every part of your screen… you’ll own it.

In this three-day, hands-on retreat, you’ll go from hesitant to heck yes, I can do this!
You’ll learn how to navigate the software with ease, locate and load designs confidently, and stitch your first project from start to finish — all while having a blast with a community of quilters cheering you on.

This isn’t another “button tour.” It’s a quilting adventure where you’ll explore every corner of your Pro-Stitcher tablet through scavenger hunts, stitch challenges, and real quilting practice.

What You’ll Learn

• Navigate every tab (File, Area, Modify, Quilt, and more) like a pro.
• Load, resize, rotate, and align your first designs.
• Set Safe Areas and grids for flawless placement.
• Save and retrieve your layouts (and finally know where they go!).
• Stitch a mini project you’ll proudly take home.
• Troubleshoot common “oops!” moments with ease.

Why Students Love It

Because this class feels like learning by doing — with laughter.
Machines are provided, materials are prepped, and every “aha!” moment comes with applause. You’ll leave with muscle memory, confidence, and a small finished project that proves just how far you’ve come.

And best of all? You’ll no longer fear the File tab.

Each retreat is tailored to the group! Projects and focus areas may shift slightly to match student experience, learning goals, and creative interests.
