Important resize information
Since designs are digitized for a specifi c 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 has a lot of
details some of it may be lost or distorted,
and/or it can be very dense. Some designs
should not be reduced more than 25% if they
have too many details.
• Designs can be increased larger than the hoop,
so ensure that the design fi ts in the hoop. If the
design is larger than hoop size, the machine
will not be able to embroider it.
• If you are enlarging a design too much, you
may see stitch irregularities. Start over and
resize to a smaller percentage for a better
result. Depending on the memory left in the
machine, you may fi nd some designs too
complex to resize in the machine. Please use
4D™ software to resize very large and complex
designs. It is available to purchase from your
local authorized PFAFF® dealer.
• When repeating resize on a design that has
been resized but that has not yet been saved, it
will always go back to the original design for a
new 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. For the best resize result, always
start with a design in original size.
• Depending on how much you resize a design
and on how many stitches it contains, the
resize process will take a longer or shorter
time. Resizing a very large or complex design
may take a few minutes. Once you touch OK,
you cannot cancel and you need to wait for the
process to be fi nished.
• It does not matter in which order you adjust
the size, rotation, mirroring etc. When you
touch OK, your machine always resizes fi rst
and then adds the rotation, mirroring etc.
• It is recommended that you scale instead of
resize for changing a design less than 20% and
also 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.
