10/28/2016 Stitchout or Sewing Problem<br />
Since resizing a design is in essence creating a new<br />
design that hasn't been tested yet, you'll want to run<br />
a test stitch before you stitch it on something<br />
important.<br />
All designs resize differently and all software resizes<br />
differently, so the 20% rule is just a guideline.<br />
Any time you are resizing or editing designs, ensure<br />
that you are working with a copy so that you don’t<br />
modify the original design.<br />
Resizing can cause bird's nests, thread breaks &<br />
needle breaks.<br />
Some embroidery software programs will convert jump<br />
stitches to running stitches with slight resizing.<br />
Wide, Satin Column Stitches Consider the items<br />
below when working with designs with wide, satin column<br />
stitches [like the large wide satin letters in the photos]:<br />
Most embroidery software programs will convert the<br />
wide, satin column stitches to regular or fill stitches if<br />
resized or modified in any way.<br />
If you have resized or modified the letters in any way<br />
and are having problems with your stitchouts or are<br />
not happy with the quality, please test stitch one of<br />
the letters without resizing or modifying [download the<br />
set again for the original if necessary] to see the<br />
difference in stitch quality.<br />
Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee the quality of<br />
designs that are modified (including resizing). If you<br />
have problems with the original designs we will assist<br />
you in solving the problem.<br />
Please contact us if the size that you require is not<br />
available and we'll do what we can to make a set that<br />
size.<br />
