4 When you enlarge or reduce a converted pattern with the selection cursor, the number of stitches
sewn automatically adapt to the new size of the pattern, allowing you to keep the original embroi-
dery quality.
NOTE:
The selected color blocks can be moved or scaled individually, therefore, if you want to move the
whole pattern once it has been converted, be sure to select the whole pattern.
