Embroidery Digitizing: All About Blending and Shading

[@pamelalewis9192]

Absolutely the best video I’ve been able to find on blending and shading! Your teaching technique was spot on! Thank you so very much!!!

[@LeonardoMacedoEMB]

Yes, love to see lots of testing just to see what will look better, specially because sometimes things look bad on screen but awesome embroidered.

[@lashleycreations]

yup when in doubt, test it!

[@Stackamillie]

Just want to say thank you. I was working on a sunset type of blend. I watched this video when I 1st got into embroidery but now over time it makes so much sense. Thank you again

[@lashleycreations]

Glad this video helped! Blending is one of those things that takes a while to get but worth it if you take time to practice

[@Nclk619]

Ohhh... I was going to say that you definitely took Lee's class. She is amazing. I have every class from her. Amazing amazing

[@lashleycreations]

Yes she is amazing! I have only learned a fraction of what she teaches, but I always recommend people to take her classes, she is a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to embroidery🤗

[@Nclk619]

@@lashleycreations , isn't she. I took 3 days class with her in Palm Springs. What an amazing sweet lady she is.

[@motorbikeaddict]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@angellove1619]

Stunning flower and a wealth of more information. I did take balboa digitizing classes, but she is so drawn out, and I fall asleep learning from her.

[@lashleycreations]

Yes she is very knowledgeable in her lessons, but I agree her videos are so long. I don't have enough time in the day to sit through a whole video😅

Top class video ... Really appreciate the time you took to make this video. Waiting for more videos

[@lashleycreations]

Thanks! More digitizing videos coming so stay tuned!

[@KatieKagelmacher]

Wow this was such a great video. Thank you so much!!

[@raufniaz9379]

Wow! Absolutely loved it. Thank you for sharing.

[@asheryl1966]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to shade a flower design that I digitized and nothing was looking good or right. I tried to do what you suggested after watching the video and now I need to see if it's going to look ok when I stitch it out. One question, did you do the petals of the flower separately or as one big flower?

[@lashleycreations]

Glad you are finding it helpful! For the flowers, I did each petal separately because I wanted each petal to have a different stitch angle

[@asheryl1966]

@@lashleycreations Thanks for letting me know.

[@hamrocksco1]

thanks for the video. these are some advance digitizing

[@carolcalkins5329]

This is a spectacular video!

[@ClaireWalsh-d8n]

fantastic! Just what I needed

[@TheEmbroideryGuy]

Great video, love your sharing, What fabric is that white fabric with the speckles on it, I WANT IT!!!

[@lashleycreations]

I got it from Joann Fabric Store. Its cotton fabric with silver glitter on it. Really love how the glitter shines on embroidery projects.

[@mygodimbadatgames]

Hey i love your digitizing. I recently bought hatch 3 and the default tatami spacing is 0.016 is this the same setting that would afect the density?

[@lashleycreations]

Thanks for watching! And yes the tatami spacing is what controls the density. 0.016 sounds like you have your program set to display in inches vs millimeters, so you might want to switch to mm as it is easier to adjust the spacing

[@mygodimbadatgames]

@@lashleycreations thanks a million

[@ingridrautemberg]

I love your videos! Do you think Hatch is worth the money?

[@lashleycreations]

Sorry the late reply here! But YES I absolutely think Hatch is worth the money. It's been a great investment for me and I don't see myself needing to use any other software.

[@stitchn4yourkitchn729]

WOW! Thank you soOoo much!!!

[@insta_725]

When i try to do this it stacks on the same thread and it doesn't do the offset automatically

[@lashleycreations]

Do you mean it doesn't look like the thread colors are blending in your embroidery software? I've noticed that the software sometimes doesn't look like the colors are blending even though I have 2 light fills on top of each other, but when I stitch it out it looks fine. Just a software limitation I guess

[@UchithaDewa-r4x]

Hello Madam, what is this software

[@lashleycreations]

Hello Sir, it's Hatch Embroidery
