I can open it in the digitizing software on my computer and
increase or decrease by whatever percentage or fractions of
inches I wish. The software will re-sized every part of a
design with one edit command. I can also save it to the
machine memory and re-size there if need be, but I would not
be able to determine exactly what the result would be
without doing a test stitch-out.

Oh, that might be really fun to play with, I could probably
do that as well.

Agreed, not having to hoop the fabric is a huge advantage,
and a sewn eyelet is infinitely better than a metal one.
But my machine takes care of all the motion, so once the
project is hooped I don't have to touch it, except to remove
the hoop to punch the hole after the initial centering part
is sewn.

Swings and roundabouts, innit. :) I dare say it evens out in the end.

I did eyelets by hand when costuming a show for the Jamestown 400th. The
neck of these shirts were closed with ties:

here's another, but you still can't see the eyelets daggumit:
