I have spent hours looking through 100's if not 1000's of patterns and loving it. I noticed that on some, I see it noted under other stitches "blending".

I don't know what that means. Years ago I completed a very extensive wedding project for my brother and wife and I remember using the different Kreinik blending filaments as the directions indicated. Is that what it means?

I just want to be sure as I am totally in love with a chart and would like to download and start it as soon as possible and I would hate to download it to find that the blending is something else and it is not indicated how to do it and I am unable to do the project.

This is the project: Wicked Witch Wear

Thanks so much!

You should never have to decide the blending for yourself. All of the charts that I have seen with blending tell you exactly how many of what strands to use.  Post time 2013-6-7 03:40

In blending you use two threads: normally one of dmc six stranded cotton (just one of the six) and then another thread wich can be pearl effects...an special thread...

but most of the times you have to blend two different colours of dmc thread.

I personally hate blending!!! :(

I don't like blending either, almost as much as I don't like backstitches. Charts with blending will tell you exactly how to blend them, no guessing here.  Details Reply Post time 2013-6-30 17:25

I love blending, but am anal about backstitching.  Sometimes I just want to do longer stitches...anyone else do that?

Yes I do. I just can't go through every tiny hole again...ugh! But only a few stitches at a time I'll skip if it looks ok.  Post time 2013-8-19 10:22
