Memo
• After the pattern size is changed using
, the thread density can be changed
in the embroidery edit screen. (page 143)
• If the pattern is enlarged and there is space
between stitches, a better effect can be
achieved by increasing the thread density.
• If the pattern is reduced and the stitching is too
thick, a better effect can be achieved by
reducing the thread density.
