Great information! I will try this out later today, what’s up next? Working on a usable project like this is a great learning tool.

don't set the density to 2 like I do in the video, leave it at the default, it works better

[@maryannduplaga6508]

Love this video Brad. If you want to use variegated threads to make it look checkered or striped how would you do the fill to make that look? Thank you for teaching these great videos.

You don't really have a whole lot of ability to change the way it paths the stitch doing it the way I did it, might work better to use a mesh fill instead of a motif. Maybe do a lace fill, break it apart, and delete everything but the mesh layer. Also im realizing setting the density to 2 was a mistake in my video, it should be left alone for pattern f061

@@EllicottCitySewVac Thank you! I do have the design from EL and used variegated as I've seen so many people do. theirs worked out okay. Some brands of variegated look better then others. But I love that you showed us how to make this with other designs other then the bunny. I will have to experiment!!

ok i just sewed one out with 2 color varigated looked pretty good w density at 3mm. Turns out the mesh fill didn't work well at all, way too light

This is Bernina Jeff. We really need to do a collaboration at BU. A short 10 minute video to post on both our channels. Should get more subscribers.

Sure, lets do it. I was planning to bring all my recording junk this time anyways.
