Hello all! I have some questions about pc stitch pro...

While I have a lot of awesome new patterns ot make with it, I want them so they're not fantastically gigantic. (248x176 is way to big for a badge.) So I was wondering, how do you make it smaller without losing half of your project as a result?

Not sure you can without loosing detail.

The trick is finding a drawing that isn't detailed. If a drawing has more stuff in it will have to be bigger to make it clearer.
Image good image --clear not alot of detail

Image too much detail and it will have to be larger to make up for that.

I hope this helps!!

For pixel art type styles, make sure that if you want an image to be smaller that you cut the pixel number by exactly 50%. That will ensure that the image doesn't distort. So, if you have an image that's 126x98 and you're trying to resize it to be smaller, you should go with 63x49. Something I learned by my video game programmer husband!
