Embroidery Digitizing: Reducing Stitch Density without Reducing Quality

Are your embroidery designs too dense when stitching out causing thread breaks, or taking too long due to the number of stitches in the file? In this video I will share my embroidery digitizing tips and tricks on how you can reduce the number of stitches in your design when digitizing while still having that fully stitched look. Reduce your stitch time and see how much more efficiently your designs run!

Thank you for your videos!! I use InkStitch because it's free, haha, but the way you explain your theories and thought process helped me translate it well enough to a different software. I'm trying to learn to make realistic patches of pets. Love your designs, please keep up the great tutorials!

[@lashleycreations]

Oh thank you, and glad you found it helpful!

Thank you so much!!! Great video! I was trying to find a video for patches with less bulky and I found yours! 🎉 😅

Great video 😊
for big aereas i usually use double tatami as underlay with reduced density and a little increase of length stitches. Less total stitches but same result 😁✌🏻

oh I never thought to do that but sounds really useful and I'll have to try it out thanks!

Are your stitch settings in inches or mm on hatch

[@lashleycreations]

I always use mm for the stitch settings
