the image to its original size as well.
To resize an image:
• In the Set new image size area, complete
the following:
In the Width field, edit the width of
your source image.
In the Height field, edit the height of
your source image.
From the Units list, select the unit of
measurement for your source image.

size, click the Reset Size button
Changing Cross-stitch
Parameters
Cross-stitch parameters control the way you
create cross-stitches. Cross-Stitch Wizard
allows you to change three cross-stitch
parameter settings: the cross size parameter,
the setting for repeat stitching, and the
amount of overlap.
The cross size parameter, given in stitches
per inch, is the most important cross-stitch
parameter. The higher the value of cross size
(the more stitches per inch), the more detail
will be carried into the final design.
Too much detail can also generate very
large designs and create unnecessary
delays in final production.
Cross-stitches also depend on the setting for
repeat stitching. You can set the number of
times the embroidery machine sews over the
branches of a single cross-stitch. This setting
is commonly used when the grid spacing for a
single cross-stitch is large. The default
setting is similar to a Two-Ply or Bean stitch
in standard embroidery. The machine will sew
over the original stitching the number of times
you set.
By adjusting the overlap you can set, in
embroidery points, how far you want to
extend the diagonal stitches over the edge of
the grid box. Overlap is similar to pull-
compensation in standard embroidery. The
actual penetration point will be outside the
specified grid box, the distance you set along
the diagonal.
