50% which would be just right, size wise, but I think the stitches will be too dense. It went from approx. 37000 stitches per panel to 26000 stitches per panel. That is only a reduction of 11000 stitches when the pattern was resized by 50%. Does this sould about right? Or is it just a bad idea to reduce the size that much?

Sorry Lily, You cannot successfuly resize Free Standing Lace designs. They just don't work.
I would suggest you find another design that is already the correct size.
If you MUST resize, the maximum recommended is no more than 15-20%.

Thank You Meganne! I had a feeling that was the case. Such a shame because I really love this doily. Oh Well...Off to find something else that's perfect.

Colleen, as Meg has said - it isn't wise to resize FSL designs - that is too bad - hope you find the right doily, soon. *4u

Waterlily, I would try to contact where you recieved the pattern from and ask them if they could make you a smaller one, since you like the doily so well. H&*.

Thank You all for responding. I can't remember where I got this one from, but I'm looking for something that will be just as pleasing to me.

Can u not omit some of the panels. Not a good idea to reduce so much., u will end up with distortion. I like dlmds suggestion *
