 I would like to know from those of you who digitize, and those who are
 proficient using embroidery software,...  Can these two attached designs be
 made smaller?  One is freestanding lace, and I have read that those type
 cannot be altered.  But I thought I'd ask.  The other clockworks snowflake
 is a regular embroidery file.  I do have an old version of embird, but I
 wasn't sure if I could reduce a design size.  I haven't played much with
 sizing, and I didn't know what happened to the density.  I didn't want to
 end up with something so thick that it wouldn't sew out.  I was hoping to
 make each design about  2.5 x 2.5 inches.  I don't mind having a go at it
 myself with a little advice.  Do the embroidery software programs actually
 reduce the number of stitches when you reduce the size?  Or do they just
 make the stitches smaller?
 Thanks so much for any advice,
 Goody
