Important resize information

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, 
VRHQVXUHWKDWWKHGHVLJQÀWVLQWKHKRRS,IWKH
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 
PDFKLQH\RXPD\ÀQGVRPHGHVLJQVWRR
complex to resize in the machine. Please use 
the embroidery software (PC) to resize very 
large and/or 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

size, rotation, mirroring etc. When you touch

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.
