b Memo:
• If the key is held down while a handle
is dragged, the pattern is enlarged or
reduced from the center of the pattern.
• As you drag the handle, the current size is
displayed on the status bar.
• When scaling stitch patterns, the number of
stitches remains the same, resulting in a
loss of quality. To keep density and fill
pattern of the embroidery pattern, hold
down the key while scaling.
