Is there a way to enlarge patterns on your site?  I'm particularly interested in the baptism cross and dove.  But it's not nearly big enough for the banner on which I need to put it.  I need it at least 8x10.

Hello,

You can use Catalog xpress to resize designs.  To download a 30 day trial version please visit http://www.annthegran.com/Product.aspx?t=1&i=2567

You will not be able to enlarge the design you are considering to the size that you want.

Design enlargement is suggested to fall in the + 10 - 15% range.

A design the size that you want would require your EM to have an embroidery stitching area more than 8 x 10. 

Less than that will require the design be split into two or more segments, depending on the stitching area available.

Pattiann is right, enlargement is limited to say the least.  The 8 x 10 size requires a very large hoop too. 

It might be more effective to have a design digitized an embroidered by a professional digitizer.  If you are a member of ATG's Club, there is a digitizing service availble.  Go to the Club area and check for it there. 

You don't mention how long you have been embroidering nor the size of machine you have, so some things are unknown in your question.  Read some of the blogs and use the search function in the Forums.  We are all learning, regardless of of our experiences.
