tanuja, I believe it is based on the ability of your machine - with mine - I can enlarge to my largest hoop size and preserve the details of the design - with a feature - however if I don't use that feature - the design is a mess. Can't wait to view your project. *4U

I can enlarge on my Emroidery machine, Janome MC300E, but only 20 percent.

I have a Bernina, and Bernina Artista Software and as long as it is and "A" design (which is usually digitized with Artista Softward) I can enlarge it to fit my largest hoop and the stitch density changes as it is enlarged (or reduced).

Yes, the same goes for Janome but it would have to be JAN.

That is the Janome digitizer.

It seems that different programs are capable of different enlarging amounts. I find that if you enlarge to much you lose all details.

I don't know what software you used to enlarge it, but as a general rule it's best not to expect too much if the enlargement is big. Adelmarie is right: always try a test stitch-out, but NEVER forget to do that when you have changed a pattern.

I am afraid I do not know the answer to this question, I re-sized some designs about a 30% and I turned out to be a complete mess, stitch density way too thick and the registration was off. Dont know I just did something grong but surely know that messed up the jacket I was embroidering on as I was naughty and did not do any test stitching. I learned from this one to always test stitch. Hope you find the correct answer, meanwhile *4U
