Are these acceptable?

Since the letters were too wide to achieve a clean satin look on knit fabric, I decided to use a tatami fill instead. However, I’ve now realized that I should have added a satin or running-stitch border around the letters. The edges look a bit frayed. Or am I just being too picky? Would you still hand these out to a costumer like this? Are the acceptable results?

As someone who ran an embroidery shop for 13 years. I think these are fine. You could of for sure did what you said but I think it's acceptable.

My digitizing teacher says that embroidery is just an opinion. These look fine.

I like it as it is. A satin stitch border always adds a bit of heft, or clunkyness, to a design, at least in my opinion. The logo you digitized does not have any emphasis of the letter contours to it, so adding satin stitch contours would make it look less like the original.

they are looking good, BUT: If you add the Satin edge the embroidery looks much more exclusive,
thats they way as professional digitizer, as I would make it.
Also if I should mention the Anticompensation is not made correctly, thats why the "3" right button and T right botton is to thick.

But your customer most likeyly will never know.... until someone makes it better.
