Important Resize Information
Because embroidery designs are digitized for a
specifi c design size, it is important to consider
some of the following information for resizing
designs in Designer SE.
• Your resizing is always proportional. For
example a design reduced 50% will be 50%
smaller in both length and width. When
reducing a detailed design, it is possible that
some details may be lost or distorted and/or
heavy stitch build up may be created in the
detailed area of the design because more
stitches may be retained in that area. In some
cases it is recommended to reduce detailed
designs only to 75%.
• Always embroider a test sample of your resized
design before sewing on a garment or project.
• View your resized design in 3D on the
Interactive Designer Screen and be sure it fi ts
in the hoop as the Resize function will allow
you to resize larger than the hoop size. In
this case when you try to toggle to Interactive
Designer Embroidery, there will be a pop up
message "Design outside hoop area".
• When enlarging a design a great deal you may
see stitch irregularities within the design. Resize
to a smaller percentage for a better result. Due
to the memory in your Designer SE, you may
fi nd a design that is too complex to resize in
the machine. We recommend you resize very
large and/or complex designs on your PC
computer in the 3D Embroidery Studio or 3D
Stitch Editor Embroidery Software Program
which are available from your Husqvarna
Viking Dealer as an accessory.
• When repeating the resize function on a design
that is on the Interactive Designer Screen
but has not yet been saved, it will always go
back to the original design for a new resizing,
which ensures the best stitch quality possible.
When a design has been saved at a resized
size and is brought to the Interactive Designer
Screen again for resizing, the new resizing will
be made on a design that has already been
resized and this can cause stitch irregularities.
For best result always begin the Resize
function with a design of original size.
Embroidery Mode
• Depending on how much you resize a design,
and on how many stitches it contains, the
resize process will take longer or shorter
time. Resizing a very large or complex design
can take up to a couple of minutes. Once
you touch
process but need to wait for it to fi nish.

• We recommend using scaling instead of resize
for changing the design size less than 20% and
for embroideries digitized with single or triple
stitches such as cross stitch embroideries. In
this case you do not want to add stitches to
the design, only to make the design larger or
smaller by making each original stitch larger or
smaller.
• It does not matter in what order you adjust the
size, rotate, mirror etc. When you touch
Designer SE always resizes fi rst, and then adds
the rotation, mirroring etc.
