Me too. You never know until you try it for yourself. Maybe you enlarged it tooooo much?
You must make sure you do not change the number of stitches and then you'll be OK.
i will try and let u all know ok hugs

Interesting look. Wonder what happens if you decrease the size? Can you salvage that piece with all over stipple and new designs on top?

I said you could and I did, but I also said you should keep the stitch count the same. I resized in Embird, but as I know you have 5D, here's how to do it.
I resized a design I made 2 ways and only one will work.
When you load the design in 5D (extra) it has white handles - see picture 1. Enlarge the design by dragging the handles and the stitch count will be the same and it looks great - see pict 2.
Do NOT use the resize icon - see picture 3 - you'll get blue handles and the density will be corrected. In this case enlarging it gave fewer stitches and the result is horrible - as it shows in picture 4.
From your pictures I think you used the last method.

yes i did use re-size and the blue handles i will try again thank-you:):)Will let u know what happens hugs
I'm glad that is sorted. Thanks, Martine.
The proper terminology is 'scale' for method 1 (keeping the stitch count the same) and 'resize' for method 2 (keeping the density stable). But not every software uses 'scale' (Embird calls both resize - 5D uses both terms). So to be precise: you can scale cross stitch designs and not resize them.
thank you :)
