Is there any way to increase the font size of text above 100?

Those would be BIG letters! There are only two ways that I can think of to achieve the effect. One would be to use a larger fabric (lower count) so that each stitch would be bigger. The other would be to select 100 and then adjust each letter yourself manually to make them bigger. The first would be easy, the second would not.

As it is, that is the largest font allowed by the software at this time.

You can request a larger size available as a future enhancement.

Good Luck,


Diane

Thanks Diane. I am making a small pillow with an initial so just need it a bit bigger than 100. I think I will import a jpg of the letter into the design and revise as needed.
I may also send a request for future versions.
Thanks!
Olivia.

Remember when you import a file, even a simple pattern like one letter, it will need a lot of "cleanup". Even a straight black line will NOT import as a straight black line but lots of shades of gray around black. Be ready to "tweak"!

Just a thought - rather than import a jpeg which will need a lot of 'tweaking' why not import the jpeg as an underlay then just colour over it?

Several issues with that.

It is possible but you would have to choose all your colors manually yourself.

It also is not always easy to get the image at just the right place and size for your pattern for you to even start.

Again -- it's possible but it may be even more work than tweaking after a rough pass by the computer.

Maybe combine the two! Import and underlay and make them match.
