    Hi, in order to help a friend, I tried to make .xxx files from Ink/Stitch (she has a Singer machine).

    Unfortunately, her machine shows two linked pictures (doublet) which she cannot use because the total exceeds the frame area allowed. I thought it was because of the formating of the USB key but it is not (FAT32). Obviously, the .xxx file produced with Ink/Stitch is corrupted. Is there a get arround : what do you suggest?

    Thank you

    It sounds as if the design is too big for the hoop?

    What size is her hoop and what size is the design?

    Yes, Kaalleen, thank you for your prompt answer. You are surely right. The pattern is a locomotive. I opened the svg file in Illustrator (which I am more familiar with) and I could see the two locomotives (they do not show in Inkscape). Removing one still makes a pattern nearly 20 x 20 cm. The biggest hoop size is 13 x 20 cm and the smallest 8 x 8 cm...

    After bringing the size of the locomotive down to 6 x 6 cm, it should work! Will let you know.

    Thanks again.
