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

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🤗

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.

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😅

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.

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

@lashleycreations 6 ай бұрын

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

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 4 ай бұрын

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

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

@lashleycreations 6 ай бұрын

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.

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 5 ай бұрын

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
