Hi..

I want to be able to reduce the size of an object in my graph after I've made sure all lines are connected and that my colors are what and where I want them to be.

I cropped it when I imported it so it would be as large as my graph, but now I want to reduce it so I can add some other embellishments within the graph.

Thanks

To reduce the size of an object, you need to merge it to the background. Then re-create it as a smaller number of stitches.

I did a merge, but when you say to re-create it as a smaller number of stitches, I'm not sure what you mean. I saved as a jpg to import again, t hen I resized it down from 200x200 to 100x100, then I lost all my modifications of colors and fixing of lines. So if you can tell me more about how to resize a PAT file, that would be great. Thanks

When talking about creating an object, you drag the mouse to create the size. If you drag a smaller area, the object will be smaller.

If you're talking about a lot of non-stitched area around a design, you can use the option to remove rows and columns. Just be sure to select rows and columns that are blank. Save with out the extra rows and columns will reduce the size.
