I need help with this design, please instruct me how to do what I need. I picked this up FREE at embroideryshristi.com. Can you see my problem in the photo? It has all this blank area included in the design, when I click on to center it, making the design area way larger and I can't stitch. How do I get rid of the blank space so I can make the design fit ? The file says 'Large Decor Shristi'. Even if someone could help by contacting Shristi with this problem, I would appreciate it, since I am not sure how. It is a very pretty design. Thank you in advance for any help you may offer, I appreciate it.-Toogie....ps.Does problems like this go in Digitizing or in Embroidery? I do hope I did it right.

I just downloaded this design and it has been fixed. Anyone with a 'bad' design should download it again.

Hi Toogie..I just went and downloaded this design...if you are using the .Pes file, I can see the problem...try using the .Jef format which is a size of 203mm x 228mm...I reduced the .Jef file to 199mm x 224mm so I can sew it in one hooping...just a tiny bit of difference in the original size...hardly noticeable at all...If you want to stitch in the original size, you can rotate it a bit to fit into the 8x12 hoop...it will work....but you will want to print a template so you can hoop your fabric correctly...hope this helps...if you still have questions, let me know...

Thanks got it.

I have the design too, reduced it with embird, this is how it looks now in a 8x8 hoop, With embird you can reduce with change the density. I can do this for you if you give me your hoop size and format, send me a PM.

elemausi, I'm sure you didn't know, but it is illegal to send designs by email IF you aren't the designer.

If you have software that allows you to split a design, that is what I would do.
You will get the best help here in Digitizing. Although you might get more answers in Embroidery. Either place is OK for this post.
I hope you get the information you need to use the file.
