I get a screen full of junk when I try to download my pattern.


Answer:  
The problem is that your computer is not sure what to do with a PCStitch Pattern File.

The patterns on our site are stored as computer data files. When you click on the Download button, your browser is pointed to the pattern file. Since your computer does not know what a pattern file is yet, it simply tries to "display" the data. It really can not do this, so what you see is a screen full of stuff.

Now, the next questions is: How do you "teach" your computer what to do with a PCStitch Pattern File?

Hey, good question!

You need to install one of our software products. As with any computer file, to use it, you need a program installed on your computer that understands how to use. This is where the PCStitch Pattern Viewer comes in. When you install this software, we tell your computer what to do with PCStitch Pattern Files. So, after you install our software, the next time you click the download button, your browser will say "Hey, this is a PCStitch pattern file,I need to start up the Pattern Viewer!!!"

What really will happen is your browser will ask you if you want to "Open" or "Save" the file. If you choose "Open", the pattern will download and then the Pattern Viewer will automatically start up and display your design. If you choose "Save", you will be asked where you want to store the file on your hard drive. The browser will download your pattern, and put the pattern file in that folder. After the download completes, you will need to start the pattern viewer (Press the start button, select programs, select PCStitch, select Pattern Viewer) and use the Pattern Viewer to Open the design.
