This cushion is for a friend who lives on a narrow boat. Another design I bought in the Embroidery Library sale last week. The designs are far too dense for my taste, but work well either when increased by 20% or by reducing the density in Embird Editor.

I use my Gallery Designer to reduce stitch count but, I never thought about increasing the size by 20 %. Thanks for that tip Sue.
You always know how to make things work.
Love the pillow

This is great Sue, I find the same as you. I don't know why they need to be so dense! Love Chris

Lovely Sue as always. I always buy the smaller version and upsize. By reducing the density what does that do? Less top stitches or less underlay ? :))

It is possible to reduce the density of the fill, but I get good results doing as you do and enlarging the smaller size!

Nonna57, thanks for the idea. That is a wonderful way of dealing with those dense designs. Gotta try that out.

Very nice and I am sure it will be appreciated. I too find EL designs vvery dense. I used to buy many of their designs when I started ME but now find I hardly buy from them for this reason. I also increase the design size to reduce the density.

Is this a pillow form or stuffed? Looks good either way.

It ha a cushion pad inside. The cover has an overlap back.
