Hi Wenona,
Which free software are you using? It sounds like you might be using the Embrilliance demo. You can't resize with their free software and save it. For a free resize, I recommend Embroidery Tool Shed. It sounds like you are trying to do a very dramatic resize. If possible, try to find the design closer to the size that you want. And be sure to do a test stitch after resizing. It's not impossible to get a good result with a huge resize, but not everything resizes equally well at rates of 90%.

Hi I ordered a Love peace sign and want to downsize it to a smaller size. When I do (on the free software) each of the suggestions above it will not let me make it smaller.. (just only 10%)
It shows 90% in the box but when I place 80% or smaller it right away goes back to 90%. It also is stated that it is just a demo when i try to save it.. How can I get a free downsize with this software?
Maybe I am missing something or doing it wrong. Can this design be downsized? I need it to be about 1.5 x 1.5.. Thank you so much
