I have found when I down size something that much its so dense its a jumbled mess in the back and jams my machine. So I guess I'd rather have it loose, lol! Neither way is a good outcome, lol!

I have read not to enlarge a design more than 20% it is sorta what I go by. I hope this helps.

Now if you could get some of the really dense designs to enlarge to this size, you will have it made....lol
thanks for sharing.....

oops, slow site again

With P-E design you have the option of a checkbox to correct the density of designs that you enlarge.
Maybe your programs have this too.
I have great success with enlarging to very big on well digitized designs.
Only fsl can be problem.
It is fun to experiment and do your own enlargements, 20% is only a guide for the basic enlargement or decrease.
Happy stitching

I usually enlarge in increments; i.e., 10% and save, then enlarge that another 10% and save. My software does have a box to check to adjust the stitch density as I enlarge, but I'm overly careful if it's a design I've purchased.

Wow, we are always learning something new--some good--some bad. Guess this is what makes embroidering so interesting. H&*

So sorry you are feeling down and are hurting. One certainly can't concentrate when they are hurting and tired. I have a hard enough time when I'm feeling good. Too funny how this turned out for you! Hope you get to feeling better soon. Take are of yourself as no one else is going to do it. LOL

Sorry your not feeling good. This is something I would do! Hope you feel better! Have you found a good doctor yet? Hope so!

Have a good day.

At least you have an excuse. I hope you feel better soooon. =0)

What Jacobean birds??????????????

Did something like that before and sent the design to stitch over it's self a second time and that turned out pretty good.

Feel better Karen and hey, live and learn right?? You don't know how something is going to come out if you don't try it out-sometimes it's good-sometimes, not so much. Think if it as a teaching/learning experiment for yourself and the rest of us. At least you can laugh at yourself-better to laugh than cry-less draining .Take care hon ~linda~ P.S.-I love the Jacobean birds!

I found the Jacobean Birds. Beautiful! My next purchase. Thanks
