You may need to calibrate your monitor so that designs at 1:1 scale appear at real size. Do this when you first install Hatch Embroidery or when changing monitors. Screen calibration is generally not required on Windows 10/11 as this is handled by the operating system itself. The first time you run Hatch Embroidery, the measurement system will default to whatever the operating system is using.
1Choose the preferred measurement system via the droplist on the Context toolbar.
Tip: To get the most precise measurements for screen calibration, it is recommended you use the Metric setting. Also, if you are using multiple monitors, take the measurement on your computer’s main monitor.
2Select Software Settings > Calibrate Screen.
3Measure the width and height of the dialog box. Make sure you measure edge to edge.
4Enter the precise measurements in the relevant fields.
5Click OK to confirm.
