Last week I bought several quilting designs from Embroidery Library and accidentally clicked on a size too big for two of them. I thought all was lost, but this afternoon I worked out how to resize them using Wilcom Trusizer. I'm relieved that I didn't waste any money and thrilled to bits that I found the solution to the problem. Wish things always worked out this easily!

Em library gives me a warning for designs that I have already purchased and also if they would be too large for my hoop.Maybe you can fill out that info on your account there too.

Didn't you get a warning from emblibrary that the design was to large for your machine? If not you need to check into that so it won't happen to you again.

Emblibrary would of fixed it for you, just send them an email. Their customer service is great.

Sue when I first started collecting designs I did the same thing and contacted EmLibrary. They were really good and told me I have the wrong size and corrected it for me.
Cheers,

This is exactly why I love mistakes, the things I have learned when fixing mistakes are amazing. Good for you for working it out, and thank you for sharing.

Bet they would have taken care of it since you ordered some others the other size. They're good people. But then, you learned something, so it was a good thing.

hope this works, as they are already so dense, shrinking could make them even denser so let us know how this worked.....thanks....

Thank you for telling us about this. I was not aware that we could have our profile saved on Embroidery Library.

Hi Sue, just be careful not to resize more than 10%.
Emblibrary designs are usually quite dense and even Wilcom does not adjust the density/stitch count enough to compensate for more than a 10% variation.

I'd be interested in how your re-sized designs stitch out, most of them are just too dense to be successful, especially if reduced.
Hugs and roses, Meganne

It was a simple quilting design and it stitched perfectly. I'm definitely going to experiment some more.

you definitly learned from your mistake, which was ok in the end - now you know how to do it for another one.

Have you test stitched them? Sometimes sizing down distorts the design. Make sure before you put them on something of value and maybe get the correct ones from embroidery library to be safe.

Good save by the sounds of that, Sue. But I must have filled in my machine info like others mentioned, as I've also been alerted that a design is too big for my hoop -or that I've already bought it, LOL.

I have also used Wilcom for resizing and it seems to be fine. Hope it works when you sew it out.
