Here is a question for someone who is a whole lot smarter than me. I want to buy a design that is larger than my biggest hoop. It states the design is 7.61 x 6.81 and my biggest hoop is 6x10. I can make a design somewhat smaller by decreasing it in my machine. I do not have a digitizing program and I wouldn't know how to use it if I did. Can I put this design in my machine and adjust it there or will my machine reject it because it is too big? I hate to spend the money on something that I will not be able to use.

I think the thing is just how badly do you want the design, I always ask myself is it a want or a need.
Perhaps the digitizer could reduce the design for you, why not ask they can only say No, but then again they may surprise you. Good luck

I would not be surprised if your machine would not let you downsize that much. It is the 6.81 that is the issue. Most machines will change the stitch count as well. Ha ha so my answer really is "I don't know"

Kindly ask the digitizer if they would adjust the size for you. Some are willing to do so.
