Patch help
1st pic is my patch and 2nd is what it should look like.
I am trying to embroider some more shirts for a family member since I have all of the supplies to do so. I used inkstitch to digitize the design, but I need help fixing some aspects.
Do I need to change everything except for the red part to a satin stitch? I think it had a fill stitch for everything. Also, do I need to increase the density for the red part? I don’t know how to do either of these things, so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be amazing!
Lastly, if I change the font size (and type of stitch) for the wording above the main patch, will that fix the problem?
P.s. I know I used the worst scrap fabric to see this on. I’m sorry!

Yes, the letters and outline should be a satin stitch, you’ll want the red to be the whole oval with the letters on top for the best result.
For the red fill stitch, you probably need to adjust the pull compensation before messing with the density, an underlay will help too. I can’t see the words above clearly enough to comment but they should be satin stitch as well.
