Stretch your selection by pulling on the dashed 
portion of the selection boundary (Figure 3-14). 
When your cursor is positioned correctly, your 
cursor will look like the one in the example to the 
right. You can also stretch your selection using 
specific values for the stretch percentage, angle of 
stretch and the center of stretch (choose 

). For help on this 

command, click on the Stretch Selection dialogs 

 button.

Different embroidery machines require different design file formats. If 
you are going to use another machine's designs, you will need to convert 
the design to a format your embroidery machine can understand. 

BuzzSize

™

 will convert stitched-based design files from one design file 

format to another. You can convert your current design to the file format 
of your choice by choosing 

Each embroidery file format comes with certain standard colors and 
restrictions. Some design formats have only a few color choices and 
some have a plethora. When design files are converted using 

BuzzSize

™

, 

the best possible match is made from the colors available. In some cases, 
this involves selecting a secondary color choice in order to preserve color 
stops. 

Moreover, some design formats (such as DST and EXP) don’t contain 
color information at all, only color stops to let the embroiderer know it is 
time to change threads. When these designs are opened or converted with 

BuzzSize

™

, 

the color stops are assigned an arbitrary color value because 

BuzzSize

™

 does not know what color the digitizer intended. The colors 

assigned do not relate to the actual color value to be used at the 
embroidery machine.
