Please HELP - I have a small problem I'm hoping someone can help with - we are taking grandkids to Disney - I bought hoodies. Wanted to put Mickey design on back but ALL my Disney are too small (2"-3" max). I can enlarge but not big enough before integrity is lost. Any ideas???

Make a patch with the design on it, so it has more "presence"? (Give it an applique background in other words.)

You might try contacting your Brother dealer and asking how to do this. Sometimes you just can't enlarge a design without creating problems.

Make sure that your designs were not illegal ones specially when you advertise them at Disney Land. You can purchase legal ones at Ibroidery.com and they are larger. Unfortunately if you do not have a brother machine you will not be able to download. Good luck

My designs are ALL legit - I have brother machines. That's NOT my problem. My problem is that ALL my Disney are too small (2"-3" max). I can enlarge but not big enough before integrity is lost.

The ones at Ibroidery.com are larger but not free. How about making a collage of more characters like a large heart with 2 or 3 designs inside?

thought about that but I don't have much time - I was so crazy busy the last month preparing for a Xmas bazaar that I lost track of time - took longer to get the jackets (10 of them) and we leave tomorrow! I'm just going to go with the smaller design with their name. Thanks for the collage idea - might work for birthday gifts. With 6 grandkids I'm sure I'll be kept busy for a few years! :)

Why not do a left chest design? Would be big enough. Disney designs are tricky.....I get that you have legal designs, but altering them may not be included in the copyright.

yeah, hubby said to do that do - it's just disappointing. You know when you have an idea in your mind and it doesn't work out. Thanks
