Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/3/256.html When I bring in a DST file directly to the OS, the stitch count is 35,126. When I bring in the same DST file into Design Shop Pro Plus, the stitch count is 41,059. Why is that? The design also stitches out better if I bring directly to the OS instead of into Design Shop and then "sending it to machine." I like to change my colors and save as OFM, but now I'm wondering if that's a bad idea. What format is more compatible to OFM and why? What is everyone else using and why? ~geri =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
