How to Install
& Enjoy
Thank you for buying Volume 3 of Quilting Arts in Stitches, the interactive
whole new way. You’ll be reading in Stitches using the Adobe® AIR® reader, just as your computer uses Adobe® Reader® to view PDF files. To view the
eMag, you’ll need to perform a simple four-step process to install the reader and the magazine on your computer.
Before you begin the installation process, please take a moment to check the system requirements in the box below.
Installation
If you purchased the eMag earlier, but did
not download it, you can go to the My
Accounts section of the Interweave store
to begin the download. The download file
contains both the eMag and the Adobe®
AIR® reader that you will use to view it. To
install the Adobe® AIR® reader and the eMag,
follow these steps:
1. Download and save the
installation file When you click
to download, your browser may ask
whether you want to save the file or
run it. Choose “save.” If your browser
asks you where to save the file, select a
location that you can easily access such
as your desktop. Some browsers save
downloaded files into a default folder.
If you’re not sure where your download
saved, try looking in the Downloads
folder in Documents or search your
computer for QuiltingArtsInStitches3.

Opening the eMagazine
To read your eMag in future, double-click
on the shortcut that was placed on your
desktop during the installation.
If you don’t see a shortcut on your
desktop, you can always access the
QuiltingArtsInStitches Issue3 application by
navigating to the folder where it is installed
(step 3) and double-clicking on the icon.
In most cases, this will be the "Interweave
eMags" folder inside C:\Program Files. (f

keep them all here.)
You can create a shortcut by clicking on the
