Important Resize Information
Since designs are digitized for a specific design size, it is important to consider the following information about resize. Always
embroider a test sample of your resized design before embroidering on a project.
• Resize is always proportional. If you reduce a design 30%, it will be 30% smaller in both length and width. If the design is
very detailed, some of it may be lost or distorted, and/or it can become very dense. Some designs, especially those with lots
of detail, should not be reduced more than 25%.
• Designs can be resized larger than the selected hoop. After resizing, make sure the design fits or select a larger hoop for the
machine to be able to embroider it.
• If you enlarge a design too much, you may see stitch irregularities. Touch the original size icon to return to original size and
resize to a smaller percentage for a better result. Please use the embroidery software to resize very large and complex designs.

• It does not matter in which order you select functions to adjust the size, position and rotation. When you touch OK, your
machine always resizes first and then adds the other adjustments.
• It is recommended that you scale instead of resize to change a design less than 20%. Scale is also recommended for designs
digitized with single or triple stitches, such as cross stitch embroideries. In this case, you do not want to add stitches to the
design, you only want to make the design larger or smaller by making each original stitch larger or smaller.
• Always start with the original design when resizing. This is to ensure the best possible stitch quality. If a resized design is
saved, and then resized again, it can cause stitch irregularities.
