Hi welcome Sewcrazy
the second image you posted is large because it is 300dpi
the first image is 72dpi which is fine
96dpi is the maximum that is necessary - any higher tends to make the image too big

Hi and welcome Sewcrazy. I hope you find Xtreme the software you're looking for. I've changed the size of your clipart image so it matches the first post.

Hi Egg:
Thanks for the welcome and thanks so much for changing my huge graphic for me. It certainly looks much nicer now.
I stumbled upon XaraXtreme when I was hunting for graphics. Got talking with the lady who had the graphics that I like and she convinced me to give it a try. Said most of her clipart starts as photos and her work is beautiful. So here I am and I'm going to give this 100%!

Cheers Sewcrazy. If you click on the search link at the top of the page and choose advanced search then enter "embroidery" and choose Xara Xtreme forums, this turns up quite a lot of posts. Not 100% sure it'll all be of use to you but give it a try. Click here for an example.
As an aside, it's not really necessary to quote earlier posts in your reply. Post extracts of post by all means but not the whole post.

It actually is very easy with Xara Xtreme. You just need to add some practice, patience, study, and determination. For what you're trying to do you can get 'up to speed' with XX very quickly. Oh, and did I mention it was FUN!
Exactly. I used the embroidered bear as the pattern/template in order to recreate them using the previously mentioned tools. One 'secret' I forgot to mention is the 'Transparency' tool. You can use it to fade your shapes to better see what you're trying to reproduce. Once you get the shape to your liking you can remove the transparency, or keep it, whatever your preference.
I'll be keeping an eye out for your creations,

Sewcrazy,
Just wondering how you were getting along with Xara Xtreme and any of the associated tutorials? Figured you would probably have some questions by now or need something explained more clearly or differently. Don't be afraid to ask if you need some assistance. TG has lots of help on standby.
Keep at it,
HayTay
