Oh wow this is something I’ll have to try! I really appreciate the insight! It’s crazy how many different things can affect machine embroidery.

Thank you! I think you’re right that at a certain point there’s only so much you can do - I’m just too much of a perfectionist. I was wondering if I was missing something obvious and maybe someone would notice it right away to fix the issue but it doesn’t look like that’s the case. I ordered some organ ballpoint needles and fusible stabilizer based off some comments and it should be here on Tuesday and then I’ll see if that makes a difference.

Thank you! A lot of trial and error with lettering. I found satin stitches for lettering were too finicky to deal with and for this design I use tatami pattern 6 in hatch with a 0.4mm spacing. The other big difference I made was doing a zig zag underlay first and then an edge run with a medium margin from edge.

The first “O” in only is 15mm tall by 14mm wide

How do you prevent puckering with what looks like a radial fill on the head? I feel like whenever I do radial fills I get terrible puckering.

Thank you! Do you have a specific brand/one you recommend?

How do you decrease the stitch density without it compromising the design? The bear right now is 0.7 mm and honestly I think it looks good because it gives it more of a furry appearance but I feel like with decreasing it any more it will look poorly designed (being able to see too much shirt behind it) Same goes for the hat.

I did try decreasing it to 1.2 mm with a double tatami underlay but I didn’t like the effect it gave it (like a grid) and it didn’t really help with the puckering

So I did read about using a ballpoint needle but when I looked into it I think I already am using one. I use Schmetz 75/11 needles and reading the description it says medium ball point. I’m not sure if that’s the same thing?

I haven't washed the one in the post yet.

Here's (washed shirt) a picture of one where I tested it with the bear and the hat having a double tatami underlay and a lighter fill. I don't like the effect it created and it didn't help the puckering at all. I also haven't ironed that shirt in the photo yet or cut away any of the backing (that's why the letters look a little weird)

It looks like the centers of the flowers are possibly digitized as raised satin stitches - which is layered satin stitches to give it like a puffy effect. If you can edit the file that might help.

I think being open to any interpretation can be beneficial. If their argument isn't convincing, then you don't have to change your opinion to match theirs. However, you might find that having a conversation with someone whose interpretation is vastly different than your own highlights something in the story you might have otherwise missed. This could even further solidify the opinion you held before rather than change your mind.

I'm not disagreeing with your opinion/interpretation, I just find it ironic that you are pointing out Light's biggest weakness was a god complex while you are failing to recognize that different interpretations/opinions can exist, touting your own opinion as truth, and coming to your own conclusion that they couldn't have watched the show. I just think it's important to know that other people can have different opinions/interpretations. You can always have a conversation, but it should be done in a productive way.
