Did you know that you can increase the size of any cross stitch design as much as you want! Yep, the reason is because all the stitches are the same length. It has to be proportionally so not to mess up anything. I have one in the machine now!

Yes you can, but it might get a bit thin or open, whatever you call it, when you enlarge it a lot. The reason is that for small crosses the digitise can set the crosses to 2 threads, for medium sized ones 4 threads, just like you would use 2, 3 or more strands of embroidery floss depending on the size of the crosses. I set 2 threads for 1.4 mm or less, 4 threads for 1.7 - 2.5 mm crosses.
Enlarge it a lot and you could consider stitching it twice.

I like that idea. My machine however which just came back from the shop, is not running as smoothly going over it the second time. I am going to change needles. I did wrong colors. i will post it in projects when it is done.
