Resizing Stitch Data
The industry is always full of talk about how everything can just be ‘resized’.
It may be so, but whether that works or not is a totally different matter.
The attached files are a good example of the types of considerations to be made.
You will continually hear about how someone resized, then had their string
of unfathomable experiences begin to occur, from needlbreaks to damaged
garments to clients simply rejecting work.
For every embroiderer, whether you’re in home markets or commercial, the
principles are the same if you are in it for ‘business’ purposes and want to actually see
it expand in profitability. Now that industry has been whittled down to a common
scenario of ‘anything goes’ embroidery, it explains the historical closure of most
businesses within 1-2 years.
The same principles in this design, also apply to monograms, general and
personalization fonts. While it's a cool addon to have for borders or even main parts
of designs, take a bit of time to look at the differences in the sizes or stitch them,
and you’ll have a much clearer idea of why special changes are necessary
depending on the content of designs or lettering.
The designs are very functional and useful elements so, I hope you enjoy
stitching these. You can use them in numerous layouts with simple additions and
if your machine is well tuned, and you use these with recommended stabilizers,
you’ll be sure to find that anyone will be easily impressed with your larger
design capability.

Realtime Production Scenario
It's the little things that make the difference as to where your output lands, and why you may not get an order or go on to get repeat orders. If you look carefully you may be able to recognise an auto-generation. Unfortunately, software sales are based on this type of marketing...some even believe that what is output is 'great'. It can stun most digitizers really, but this is what we contend with on a daily basis.
The client gets a rush order, and is provided with a file. If you think about it, this stuff is 'acceptable' to perhaps many that know no better. They're PA's and ad executives in possession of such data.
Of course, it won't end, but it's worth a peek. Things have to be rushed in the world of corporate digitizing, so it had to be redone..fast. Its 300 stitches lighter and that's not all!

In the Mags....among my pals..
In Stitches Magazine..2013..above..
In Printwear..Feb 2013.
It's fun to be in the mags, and people get just chosen randomly. It's funny, because neither knew that another was part of the 'interview'..and while the article is about fonts, lettering, tips and hints etc, when the mag appeared, I saw something nice:) All the people in the article also use I-Cliqq Embroidery Software! A total fluke of chance...Janet Lindstrom, Pam Hanson and moi..
In case you're looking into Lettering Software, or general digitizing software, just keep tabs on the V2.0 release, and be sure to get your slice of 'free'!..If you miss it, you'll just be... late.
