Fill stitch starting point Fill stitch ending point Ignore entire layer when generating stitch plan image/svg+xml Evan West at Wild West Designs License to Use Wild West Designs www.wildwestdesigns.biz Instructions 1. A faux blend has a regular fill layer on bottom and each subsequent layer has variable density settings 2. Make sure that all of the layers havethe same stitch angle, this allows for blending to happen 3. When doing more then 2 layers, eachblending layer uses less density then the previous layer 4. Make sure to follow the same startand end points for each layer. For instance, if the base layer starts at top top and ends at bottom right, follow that same sequence for each layer. 5. Underlay is typically not needed, but it does depend on the individualproject. 6. Typically, it is best to work from lightto dark colors, but again it does depend on the design and the desired end look. 7. While this is not a true blend, inmost instances, this type of blend isgood enough to achieve the desiredend look. 8. The density values in this exampleare not set in stone, but just toillustrate the concept. True settings will depend on the design, fabric it's goingon and the size of design.
