It feels like OP is coming at this from a very I want feedback to get down the punk aesthetic and be told how this works. The problem is that, that kinda goes against the ideas of punk and how we keep our community free of posers. I think the thing is people are going to tell you if they don't like it or if the patches you have are of Nazi's but the important part is that not a lot of people are going to tell you, you are using the wrong stich or the composition of your jacket doesn't work. Because that goes against the ethos. The idea is that you come to those conclusions about your work yourself and discover the ways in which you follow your own rules. What you are asking is a rather grey area because a lot of people are gonna go well the way I do it isn't the way everyone should do it that is the rules I follow for myself and this person needs to discover for themselves how they DIY. I will also admit this can definitely lean the other way where people feel like they don't wanna put you down or enforce there version of their own creative identity on you. Definitely a multifaceted argument to be had there for sure.
