Hi cuties,

I am wondering if anyone would be able to advise on a simple solution (if there is one) to fix this design. A friend digitized a number so that it would match exactly like the number on my husband's remote control car. He is wanting it smaller and when I shrink it just a bit - lay language now - the first color sort of bleeds under the outline. I am wondering if their is a way to fix this for the future lol without a sharpie? The original looks great. I shrunk it in embrilliance about 25% - I know I know your not supposed to go down more than 10-20 but hubby changed his mind and this was done as a favor.

Thank you,
Lee

Sorry Lee, I can't help with digitising, but I'm sure someone will come along and help soon. I know if it was me, I'd use a small pair of scissors and just cut off the excess yellow stitches and use some sort of fray stop, but that's just me trying to get out of things a bit easy. Love Chris

Try using puff foam I have used it when I don't want the design to get lost in fleece and other heavy pile type fabrics. I bought mine at Joann's craft section it comes in many colors to match thread color and tears away easily. I saw hint to use heat gun to shrink the little wisp of puff foam after tearing away. Hope this helps. Cheri

The easiest way would be to ask your friend to resize it - resizing the object file gives far better results than resizing the embroidery file.

Thank you Kim, dragon flyer for an incredible redigitizing job for me.

Hubby didn't listen to me - as usual lol and loves his shirt, except for his name not showing up well (his fault - he chose the colors).
