Resizing

Paring Down

From all appearances, it doesn’t seem like a huge task to resize a design from 2.5″ to 1.5″. Needless to say I have begun working on a new project. I found what I needed on an online embroidery site and for the whooping sum of $1.00 it was mine. It downloaded at 2.5 x 2.5 inches, take it or leave it. A bit too large for what I was planning for the cornerstones of this project. The project needed taking the flash drive to the Bernina Tool Box and beginning the task of resizing. Once it was at 1.5 x 1.5 inches the calibrating of the number of stitches to decrease was the next challenge. The original was 4,390 stitches. The Tool Box unfortunately does not do that automatically. After trail and error, we may be onto something that can be used at 3,400 stitches. The thread of choice is metallic silver and red on marbled black. Metallic thread needs to have a lot of TLC as it loves to twist and turn. Time will tell.
