Geometric scale multiplies coordinates and leaves the stitch count alone. The bench sample is 110.0 by 70.0 mm and 37 stitches. At 80% it is 88.0 by 56.0 mm and still 37 stitches. The PES still starts with #PES0001. That download is allowed because 80% is inside 80 to 120.

Below 80% or above 120%, the free machine button hides. So does density. Nordic at 95 by 95 mm is about 64% of 148 mm, so even before density the free file is hidden. Density then changes the count from 7,640 to 3,148. The spacing label stays near 0.45 mm, the original median.

The area formula is stitches times new width over old width times new height over old height, rounded half away from zero. 7,640 times 95/148 times 95/148 is 3,148. A geometric shrink would have kept 7,640 and piled the stitches closer than 0.30 mm.

Rose Crest at 88.0 by 84.0 mm already fits a 100 mm field, with 6.0 by 8.0 mm of clearance. Botanical Wreath at 124.0 by 122.0 mm does not. Use those two beside Nordic so you can see a fit, a miss, and a density rescue on the same page.

The dock fits the original design into 100×100, 130×180, and 160×260 mm and counts stitches by area. For Rose Crest that is 8,290, 14,011, and 21,223 stitches. Eight formats times three hoops is 24 files. They download only in the seller bundle.

The free ZIP on this page is the current size in eight formats, and only when the scale is geometric and inside 80 to 120 and density is off. It is not the 24-file pack. The file count in the dock stays 24 so the paid set is not confused with the free set.

Sew time follows the count on screen. A density preview at 3,148 stitches is shorter than 7,640. At 600 stitches per minute that is about 5.2 minutes. The dock also shows 800 stitches per minute. Both use the same rounding as the rest of the bench.

Width and height are the target size in millimetres. Setting 95 and 95 on Nordic, with density checked, is the case that fits a 4×4 field. The status should read Fits 4×4" Hoop. The stitch line should read 3,148. The machine button should be hidden.

A Brother 4×4 sewing field is 100 by 100 mm, which is 3.94 inches. A design marked 4×4 still has to fit inside that field. The frame around the field is larger and does not count. The hoop chart lists all 30 fields the same way.

Clearance under 3 mm is a tight note, not a failure. The Fits or Exceeds line uses the full field. A 95 mm design in a 100 mm field fits. Try to leave 3 mm when the artwork allows it. The checker will not pretend a miss is a fit.

Rotating 90 degrees swaps width and height. If the swapped size fits and the current size does not, the note says Fits if rotated 90°. Nordic is square, so a turn does not save it. A wide crest sometimes does.

Uploaded files stay in the browser. The density number is math on coordinates you already loaded. The paid files, if you buy them, are built in memory and not stored. Sew a scrap. A denser file can still punch a soft knit if the needle and stabilizer are wrong.
