Changing colour and size in Husqvarna Customizing.

I have been playing with Husqvarna Customizing recently and I am wondering how to change the size of a design so that it is less than

-20 (even smaller). It says that that's the maximum limit for one-time scaling allowed per file.

But if I do need it to be even smaller?

Another question: when I combine several designs, and then change their colours respectively, I expect to see maximum three unique colours (for example). However, because there were several patterns added, the schema shows one and the same colour several times (even though I run the program to analyze that).

How do I avoid repetitions of colour? I would like the embroidering to be continuous inside the limits of one colour, but instead I have to do it several times for, say, red.

Thank you very much!

I am not familiar with the Husqvarna software (i use PE Design most of the time), but there should be a way to change the sewing order. I have been making small badges for clubs, and doing that I do more or less what you describe, making several in each hooping. I do all the copying, and then I start changing the sewing order to have all the reds(or whatever) done first and then the next and next colour. You might have to ungroup the parts before you can change the sewing order. I have inly done this with my own designs, so I don't know if it can be done with commersial/free designs. Probably depends on the software!

Hope this makes sence!

Do not, I repeat, do not try to reduce the design more than the 20%. How do I know this? Reducing the design reduces the stitch length, but not the stitch count. I thought I could keep reducing one & ended up with a big ball of thread on the back and front of my shirt. In the reduced design, the stitches were so small, I even broke 2 needles before I realized what I had done.

If you need it to be smaller, the design would need to be digitized again, I think. I do not know how to digitize, so am just guessing about this.

I'm not sure I understand your question about combining several designs. Not sure which version of Customizer you have, but I have version 6.0 and on it there is a color sort button. Click on that button and it will combine like-colors. Then you would have to put the red thread in only once & the machine will not stop like it would have. For instance. I had a poem that was 8 lines long. Each line was the same color, but I had 8 blocks of the same color in the color select. you can either click on the color sort button and it will stitch each line. often, though, I will not combine the colors, but rather just press the Stop button so the machine doesn't stop between colors. That way it stitches the whole poem without stopping, but in the event something happens, I don't have to go back to the beginning, but rather only to the appropriate line.

Hope I haven't confused you too much. Let me know if I can clarify it a little more if needed.

you will indeed see the colors of one of the patterns at one time. You have to combine the designs first and the you can colorsort them. At times, you will still see that the same color shows up twice. That is because of the sequence in which the pattern has to be embroidered. Paris

I have done the same mistake myself. Not fun!! Then I noticed that in PE Design there is a function that says "stitch to block". If you use that the stitch count is reduced with the design. Maybe there is something similar in VIP? I believe Embird reduces the stitch count with the design as well. Either way, it's best if you can avoid changing design size too much.
