Note:
• Stamp settings remain independent from
the patterns that they are applied to. If a
pattern containing a stamp is edited, be
sure to check the stamp after editing is
finished.

• When scaling stitch patterns, the number
of stitches remains the same, resulting in
a loss of quality. To maintain the quality of
