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.

Note:
Greatly Enlarging/Reducing Stitch
Patterns
If the 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.

Memo:
To rotate the pattern in 15° increments, hold
