FAQ
Can I resize the designs I purchase?
Designs can be resized by about 10 % without any problem, but more than this can cause some problems in the design stitch-out. There may be a build-up of stitches that will cause thread breaks, or there may be some areas not covered properly by stitches. There is software available that can resize a design by 20% or more but some programs are better than others in this. Designs with precise guidelines such as ‘In the Hoop’, 'Free-standing Lace', and ‘Applique’ designs are not suitable to resize. If you do resize a design, stitch out a sample before stitching on a precious garment or item.

You may not sell, trade, share, give away, modify the design, or to combine it into other designs and then claim them as your own. All designs remain the sole property of Dawn Johnson Designs.
