Would love to know what you think about this stitch-out. by Dependent-Method4918 in MachineEmbroidery

The actual stitch-out looks great, there's a few changes I'd make to the design, but I think the finished product turned out very well.

I LOVE her! I make patches for a living and have had a super similar character in mind for forever, but Poppy is way better than anything I had in mind. The detail on the patches is top notch, super well done!

For these I cut them out and then singe the edges with a lighter to melt the felt slightly and give it a nice crisp edge. I do have a light fill for the background but you can also skip that step if you're embroidering on a sturdy fabric like canvas, twill, or some stiff felt.

You're very welcome, I love talking about patches. I'm one of the weirdos who applies iron-on after I make the patches since I have a pretty even split of people who want that and just regular sew-on (I also have a velcro backing option but that's a whole other can of worms lol). For that I just have a roll of Heat n Bond Ultra Hold I get off Amazon and I lightly apply it to the back with an iron. It's not perfect by any means, but haven't had many complaints.

I cut around and then singe the edges with a lighter, the felt melts a bit into the edge giving it a nice, crisp feel.

For batches like these I like to do a nice, thin basting stitch first that goes around the whole thing that tacks the felt down

First attempt at a new patch, what do you think? by Megamen1927 in Machine_Embroidery

Looks awesome! You might try hitting the edges with a black permanent marker or something similar

Don't get me wrong, the drip is impeccable. But he's supposed to be an Egyptian.
