When you import a pattern, you have to keep in mind that what you see and what the computer sees is different.

For the best quality import, choose (or make) your original image the same number of PIXELS in each direction as the stitch count you wish to make.

If you want 10" inches, think -- is that 14 count, 16 count or whatever. Then multiply that count by the 10 and get 140, 160 ... and that's the number of pixels the original image should be.

Working in inches in a pattern like this is not usually very successful. It's better to work in stitches and pixels.
