a Note:
Slightly Enlarging/Reducing Stitch
Patterns
When stitch patterns are slightly enlarged or reduced, stitches become thicker or thinner without the number of stitches changing.
In other words, greatly enlarging or reducing the pattern changes the quality of the embroidery since the thread density is adjusted. Use this method when only slightly enlarging/reducing the stitch pattern.
a Note:
Greatly Enlarging/Reducing Stitch
Patterns
If the Ctrl key is held down while the stitch pattern is enlarged or reduced, the thread density and needle drop point pattern are maintained.
However, if the original thread density and needle drop point pattern in the stitch pattern are not uniform, the thread density and needle drop point pattern may not be maintained, even by using this method. Enlarge/reduce the pattern while checking the preview. Do not use this method when only slightly enlarging/reducing the stitch pattern.
Rotating patterns
1.Select the pattern(s).
2.Drag the rotation handle.
1. The shape of pointer changes to 
Rotation handle 
2. Rotate
b Memo:
To rotate the pattern in 15° increments, hold
down the Shift key while dragging the handle.
