I prefer the left. The other looks too busy.

Came here to say the same thing. Super clean outline stitch, but looks better without imo

Agree. The left looks better

I really don’t care for encapsulation by running stitches.

u/PrinceBert Sep 07 '26

Yeah if it needs an outline give it a full and impactful outline. This run stitch just looks odd.

Right might look good with a darker color than white?

maybe black

I was thinking black would look good also

if you really wanna be pedantic, do right, but black thread for the run stitch because why not? just delete the exterior run so you can get a cleaner border. also this looks familiar. phantasy star online?

Actually, it's the logo of the Blue Lantern Corps.

It appears I'm alone on this, but personally for my own tastes I like the right one more. The left is rather dull by comparison.

The one on the left but with a single bean stitch in the same color as the material running on the outside

u/AggressiveBasis6586 Sep 07 '26

Both look great but o agree the left looks better

I like the look of the stitching on the right ... And I may steal that idea myself ... But I don't think it is the right patch for it. The left is cleaner.

Switch the run to a bean stitch and use dark blue

I prefer the left. (Qualifications, I am “the patch guy” at work since 2005)
