Brother PE-DESIGN V7 instruction manual Scaling patterns, Scaling manually, Scaling numerically

Arranging Embroidery Designs (Layout & Editing)

Patterns set for hole sewing

If just the inside pattern is selected, the pattern is aligned on the outline of the inside area. If the outside of the pattern is also selected, the pattern is aligned on the outline of the outside area.

•If the Shift key is held down while a handle is dragged, the pattern is enlarged or reduced from the center of the pattern.

3.Drag the handle to adjust the selected pattern(s) to the desired size.

b Memo:

•As you drag the handle, the current size is displayed on the status bar.

•For more precise resizing, select the menu command Edit – Numerical Setting – Size, as described below.

a Note:

•Stamp settings remain independent from the patterns that they are applied to. If a pattern containing a stamp is edited, be sure to check the stamp after editing is finished.

•Some patterns imported from embroidery cards cannot be scaled.

•When scaling stitch patterns, the number of stitches remains the same, resulting in a loss of quality. To maintain the quality of the embroidery pattern, hold down the Ctrl key while scaling.
