Cheryl,
Most digitizers will edit their design and send back to you if you have it done
fairly soon after you receive the file. If you wait too long or ask for
changes that are way different than how you asked for it to be setup originally
there may be a small edit fee, depends on the digitizer. Until you get the
hang of editing after "converting to wireframe" (thanks for the great
explaination Jeff) you should not hesitate to ask the digitizer to edit. If
you are having a language barrier because you are having your digitizing done
overseas find one in the USA, there are plenty that are both reasonable and do
quality work.

Jeff, Aaron and Ron,
Thanks for the info. I thought something along those lines but wasn't really
sure. I had sewing change drastically last week when I converted it to
wireframe. The quality of my column stitch was awful. It was jagged when it
should have been a nice straight side of a letter. The density looked like it
also changed. The one garment I ended up sewing before I realized, but the
material was so fine I couldn't pull the stitches out. Live and learn- I went
back to the original file after that one sewed out.

My thought would be to put it into a .CND file.
A condensed file contains blocks of scalable resizable and editable
embroidery (usually)
Expanded has all the stitches set in place and can't be edited easily and
also has
a scalable range of around 20% max bigger or smaller. since it will use the
same
amount of stitches and simply shrink or enlarge the gap in between stitches
to attain
the new size. So you can imagine what could happen taking a Jacket back at
30,000
stitches and shrinking it to left chest size!
I think the DST file is a Tajima format but Aaron would know for sure, and
also know
what you can do with the editing portion of those files.
and as he stated an OFM file if possible would be the best way to go because
it will
also work seamlessly with the small editing that can be done within the Amaya
OS
itself, as it pertains to scaling and rotations and color changes.
I can say this, though one of my early digitizing program stated it could
save in .cnd format
but I could never get one to be opened after it was saved so I always had to
use the .EXP file version
but since I built the design I could always resize it in it's resident format
and the export a new
.EXP file for the new size.
Just my 2 cents worth

This may seem like a silly question, but I am wondering since I send most
of my digitizing out to someone overseas due to price constraints, what format
should I be asking for: Melco condensed (.cnd) or Melco expanded (.exp)? What
is the difference and why do the files change stitch count etc when I switch to
wireframe? Thanks for the time.
