Use Multicolor Gradient to change the color across a fill with only one density. Set colors for the start and end markers for the fill, and the color gradually changes between the two values. Add extra markers for further color changes. Any combination of colors is possible across a fill area.
Use the markers above the gradient bar to change the color gradient across the fill.
Change the color on a fill area over a range, or use multiple color changes across a fill, to create gradual color changes for a sunset, or subtle shadow effects.
Note: Embroidery on thick fabrics usually looks better with more stitch coverage (a low density setting). Choose a low value such as 2 or 3 for heavy knit fabrics, and a higher value such as 5 or 6 for a light material such as linen or satin.
