How Can I Improve This?
« on: June 27, 2013, 12:12:11 PM »
Changed backing and that helped clean it up and get the colors registered better. The font is kind of funky so I realize that this is going to look a little bit rough, but I feel like I could clean this up much better. Can anyone shed light on how to make this look better?

Use topping, that will help the stitches from falling into the weave.

So we just tried solvy but still had issue with green so we changed the thread and lo and behold that was the main culprit. What is everyone's opinion of this?

looks good, that fabric isn't the best to sew on.

that's also a lot of detail.

He means the weave not the content. You really want to see it shine run it on some poly jacket type material.

Looks good, thin lines and small details, you can not get it much better than that

The density looks a little too high. On thin stitching I like a very short underlay stitch and density on the low side. Will help a lot with the loose/ puckered stitches.
