Use the Design Size page to set the picture size, hoop and cross size. Set the cross size, then set the desired hoop size. The preview shows the grid squares that fit in that hoop size. If desired, adjust the number of crosses.
Use the lock button (Proportional) to change the proportions of the picture.
Note: When starting a new design with no picture, the preview area shows the grid size of the new design.
Each grid square corresponds to one cross in a cross stitch design. When creating a QuickCross Design, it shows the amount of detail that is kept when the picture is converted to a cross stitch design.
