Mikimo The limitation to size 13/18 is hopefully not fixed forever ?! Think about buying the pro/creator version next time …first looking the videos
I don't think I'll ever be able to overcome the PES v1.0 limitation of 13 x 18 cm (5" x 7"), with Brother PES files being quite complex and no public information of their internals. Please refer to this FAQ for details.
Maybe you'd like to test-drive the creation of shapes after watching the videos, just to learn about capabilities and limitations before making a purchase… 🙂
