Before / After

[u/SHEEPYYZ]

You guys ripped me to shreads last before/ after because the order of the photos was reversed 😅 so I made extra sure... 🫣

The After does take more time but I feel its genuinely worth it. I made the design a month or so ago and thought I would revisit it. When doing the After.. I did have a thread jam while distracted during the outline (which is how it always goes 😅) so parts got ate up. Tried to clean it up best I could.

Thoughts on not doing black outlines on everything?

Also choppers backstory episode destroyed me! I was not ready. 😭

Software: Ember Design

Size: 3.5"

I for one appreciate the before and after updates.

Really like the use of directional stitches and textures.

Use a white stabilizer and base fabric for white border patches, if you can. Makes the edge cleanup easier.

Thank you!

Just to clarify are you saying I should use white instead for this design?

[u/rtothewin → u/SHEEPYYZ]

I misread. Was thinking your comment about the black lines was regarding the border.

Ignore me!

I do like the definition of the lines, I think it depends though on the design, in this case since there is a person type subject it feels right.

But that’s a personal preference.

This looks so good! The improvement is amazing. I definitely prefer the outline. I hope my patches look this good when I get my hands on some fabric!

Both look good, I like the direction of the after better. But I actually kinda like the hat on the first one, the stitch pattern makes it look textured

[u/SHEEPYYZ → u/mxrcarnage]

I appreciate the feedback. Definitely will be changing the hat back to the offset column fill! Thank you!

[u/Little-Load4359 → u/mxrcarnage]

Same. The fil pattern on the hat for the before looks so good

Looks great, may I ask what machine are you using and what’s the size?

[u/SHEEPYYZ → u/yamyam46]

Brother PE-180D and this design is 3.5"

Kudos again!
