Thread: Embroidery question

I don't have that program. I hope someone can help you, if not you could watch as it stitches out and stop it yourself for color changes. Could be done.

It's probably something really simple, I just can't seem to figure it out! Thanks!

Yes, I've had the free "My Editor" for several yrs and I love using it--for what I need it for. Have not learned to digitize with it, but understand you can. I've never had that problem of 'no stops' when I resize a design. If I have a design that is--for instance 5.5 x 7.2, and I want it to be reduced to 5x7. I resize by clicking off the 'aspect' button in the Scale window--then type in 12.70 width and 17.78 in height..click OKAY. Then I go up to STITCHES--ARRAY and click. This seems to take some of the density out when making the design smaller. If you want the aspect/ratio to remain same, then just leave the 'aspect' button checked & change either the height or width and it auto reduces both. I change colors a lot with the program--delete parts of a design, mostly editing preferences. If I can help-pm me.
