ROTATION

 

to rotate the design in 

90 degree steps. See the direction of  the 
rotation as the letter “ ” rotates after each 
touch on the button.

Adjust Design Size

The embroidery size can be scaled up 
or down (up to 25% in either di rec tion). 
Use the stitch length buttons to adjust 
the height and the stitch width buttons to 
adjust the width. A beep will advise you of  
the limits.

Increase the width and height independ-
ently to create long and thin or short and 
wide designs. When enlarging or re duc ing 
the size of  the embroidery, experiment 
with different weights of  embroidery 
thread since the stitch count does not 
change with the size change. Use 

À

 ner 

thread for de signs made smaller and heav-
ier thread for enlarged designs.
