Re: resizing the designs. I mentioned in a previous post that I used an endless hoop and specially digitized designs to do borders. Since these designs are edge-to-edge, I'm guessing that it's a very similar deal. The designs work because the last stitch in the pattern is in the exact spot as the first stitch. For example, if the design starts at 2.25" from the left, it ends in exactly the same spot. The reason this is important is when you advance your quilt and hoop for the next design, you want it to start in exactly the same spot as you ended last time so the 2 hoopings appear seamless, giving you that continuous edge-to-edge. After you resize, the start and stop stitch may, or may not be in the exact place to achieve this. Just test first!
