Start Screen: Make / Inspire / Learn

When you enter the editor with a new design (or open the "Editor" tab), a three-tab start (welcome) screen appears: "Make", "Inspire", and "Learn". This screen is the main gateway to learning the app and getting started quickly.

"Make"

Options for starting a design from scratch and quick access to your recent work are gathered here.

• Creation cards — "Quick Convert", "Add text", "Import from file", "Free draw", and "Monogram". (Details are in the relevant sections.)
• Recent files (Recent) — the files you opened most recently are listed with a thumbnail and a relative time (e.g. "2 hours ago"); one click and you pick up where you left off.
• Sample patterns (Samples) — if you don't have any files yet, ready-made sample patterns appear in place of Recent for you to try.

"Inspire" (ready-made templates)

A gallery of ready-made templates. At the top there are a few "Featured" templates, and below them the full template library with categories and stitch counts. When you click a template, it opens directly in the editor and you start working on it.

Tip — "Inspire" is a separate browsing surface from the "Studio Collection" store in the Library; the templates here are for quick starts.

"Learn"

The primary place for learning the app. It offers two kinds of help:

1. "Take the Tour" — replays the intro tour from the initial setup whenever you like; it walks through the main parts of the interface in short bursts.
2. "Tutorials" — each card represents a tutorial, showing its level (e.g. beginner / intermediate) and estimated duration (in minutes). When you click a tutorial, a step-by-step, narrated (guided) exercise begins in the editor.

Tablet — On narrow screens these three tabs stack on top of one another; the template and tutorial cards stack into a single column. The functions are the same.
