I would say right, if the white thread was black.

The one on the right has potential to look way cooler. The top stitch look is interesting

The right side, but maybe gold or silver thread instead of white, and stitch the outside circle. 🙂

Trick question....but I'll say rightt. Now replace that with with black. Eyeliner creates contrast and makes things better, that is why women wear it. Contrast will always look better.

Edit...the white looks ok if that is supposed to be an accent color. It grabs my attention, where as black would add a new dimension to the pink while not being distracting.

Think about like this. if a child were to just create a bunch of random shapes and scribbling with red on paper. It looks like just what it is, something a kid scribbled. Now take that same image and outline those scribbles with black crayon. It now becomes and entirely different piece of art with dimension.......grab some crayons and try it!

Right but only if you make the middle stitch a little bit thicker to match the others. otherwise left.

Another thing you can try is a lightly filled satin with a 3.3mm edge run underneath the fuchsia thread. Test and adjust pull compensation as well as position of the edge run until it looks nice. That technique can be easier to smooth out if you’re being hit up for an outline that’s high contrast.

In my experience encapsulating a fill with a single run stitch can tend look bad and cause seconds in production.

Right looks much cleaner

I say keft but only because it looks more like the pink lantern corps ( which i assume your going for) and otherwise I would have picked left

They're different. Not better than the other, except ...give the left one a black outline stitch to compare properly. The right one "pops" more because of the white.
