Shrinking Embroidery Designs in Embrilliance Essentials

In today's session, we will talk about design choices for selecting the best style of design for when you want to make a design smaller. We will also share some tips on making a design more "small size friendly". Remember that the test sew will be your best teacher!

Thank you!! I made a big reduction and sure enough it had several wonky spots. I held the command key to not change the stitch count and it looks great! It’s for a name tag so the extra density is actually helpful.

This was VERY HELPFUL. Thank you.. You look beautiful in this.. no I'm not hitting on you.. happily married 33 yrs. Have a blessed day and again.. THANK YOU for this

I really enjoyed this video… It was very informational and I was trying to figure out how to size my embroidery, but my control would not work, so thank you for letting me know. I needed to use the command button.!

Lisa, Thanks for this. Question: I've noticed that some designs I tried to resize did not change stitch count, and I did not hold the command key. I wasn't sure why. If I purchase a design from someone, does that make a difference if they've made it in a different program? Where is the best place(s) to get designs that are Embrilliance friendly for resizing and such?

[@Embrilliance]

Not sure as I've not seen that happen before. Might be a setting you have made in your software in the sizing preferences. The best place to ask is customer support on the website. www.Embrilliance.com/contact-us

Thank you so much!! You are a excellent teacher!

[@Gatornanny]

Lisa is there a way to decrease density on a design so it is not (bullet proof)

[@Embrilliance]

That is what Density Repair Kit (DRK) does. embrilliance.com/product/density-repair-kit/

The first tip is invaluable. I have been working with software since 1997 and always ha had to go into the design and “fix” those spots. THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@gracewest5504]

Thank you for this wonderful information. I have been learning so much from you.

[@pamelabarrett7645]

I just bought essential and your videos are helping me out tremendously. Thanks so much.

[@jeanchargualaf3649]

Thank you so much, I’m really new at this.

[@cyn4rest]

Great info. Thank you for explaining the How n Why!

[@sandrachadwell4951]

Just bought Essentials - loving learning with you!

[@marleagray4173]

I learned a lot, and I'll be tuning in for many more!! ❤

[@jeannehall3811]

I recently installed Essentials on my Mac. I am moving from TruE 3 and things look a bit different. So far I am missing the 100% view tab I had in my old software. I am sure there is a way to do it with essentials but haven't found it yet. I am having trouble adjusting the zoom slider. The little tab is close to the bottom when I open designs. When I watch your videos, your slider tab is more toward the center of the range. How do I adjust that? Thank you for all your videos. I have leaned on them a lot lately. : }

isn't there another way to do this on embrilliance instead of the cntrl key?

[@Embrilliance]

No - that's how the function is done.
