What The Example Worked With - If interested-in, See Pointer-to, below. For this example, I digitized one design, using three approaches: Digitize the original 10"-wide design. Modify the original 10"-wide design to be a 2 1/2" wide design - and, digitize the 2 1/2"-wide design. "Break" the 2 1/2"-wide design into three separate parts (in my case: "Top", "Middle" and "Bottom" non-text parts of the design and, then, digitize those three parts. Work firstly with the design in full-size as was in the original JPG. Use Toolbox to add some text to the design and to prepare the embroidery design to be "easily" (stitch color order, etc.) stitched from a user's point of view. Determine a good approach for making the large-size design 75% smaller. Again, use Toolbox, this time involving use of Toolbox text support; investigating individual letter separation, "font"/alphabet, etc. Finally, again using Toolbox support, make the design acceptable for embroidering onto a shirt.
