•This dialog box can be resized. The size of the dialog box is retained until it is changed again.

•To close the dialog box, click Close.

a Note:

If a pattern is larger than the Design Page or if it is positioned so that it does not completely fit within the Design Page, the error message “Please change the object size or position.” appears instead of this dialog box. After the design causing the error is displayed selected, change its size or position. (If more than one design causes the error message to appear, they will be displayed in the sewing order.)
