299557sorry it didn't work out well. Thanks for trying and the explanation of Martine.
740198I said you could and I did, but I also said you should keep the stitch count the same. I resized in Embird, but as I know you have 5D, here's how to do it.
I resized a design I made 2 ways and only one will work.
When you load the design in 5D (extra) it has white handles - see picture 1. Enlarge the design by dragging the handles and the stitch count will be the same and it looks great - see pict 2.
Do NOT use the resize icon - see picture 3 - you'll get blue handles and the density will be corrected. In this case enlarging it gave fewer stitches and the result is horrible - as it shows in picture 4.
From your pictures I think you used the last method.

The proper terminology is 'scale' for method 1 (keeping the stitch count the same) and 'resize' for method 2 (keeping the density stable). But not every software uses 'scale' (Embird calls both resize - 5D uses both terms). So to be precise: you can scale cross stitch designs and not resize them.
145191I have not yet made any cross stitch designs on my emb machine, but thanks for the warning, I will keep it in mind. Will it be difficult to unpick? Hugs
21222thanks for letting us know - I will try and remember not to alter any cross-stitch design

140716I always understood you COULD NOT enlarge cross stitch!
15711We all do one of those once a year, use it to line a pillow with OR give it to some one you don't like ???

86901Interesting look. Wonder what happens if you decrease the size? Can you salvage that piece with all over stipple and new designs on top?

You must make sure you do not change the number of stitches and then you'll be OK.
