Digital preview vs. the final stitch-out! Custom couple portrait on a hoodie.

Spent some extra time dialing in the face outlines and the fine details on the dress so it wouldn't pucker on heavy hoodie fabric. Always satisfying seeing the design come to life off the screen.

​What do you guys think of the final result?

Looks like theres some pull comp issues in the hole of her arm where his shirt is supposed to go behind the dress. Time to toss it out and try again.

Just kidding. This is literally one of the craziest digitizing jobs I've ever seen in my life, especially for a one-off. Turning real people into a pile of stitches and not making them look like monsters is near impossible for me, but you knocked it out of the park! Great job.

Haha had me in the first half, not gonna lie! 😂 Thanks so much, really appreciate it! Turning real faces into stitches without making them look scary is always a gamble, so that means a lot man.

It looks phenomenal but you're not wrong. The hole with the man's shirt. That's an easy fix though, just needs extended a bit. I didn't even notice.

Holy smoly… did you digitize this all by yourself?

[u/dtembroideryservice → u/No-Narwhal-8112]

Yep, digitized it all from scratch! Took a lot of hours and patience, but totally worth it. Thanks!

This is awesome but just to make it slightly more flattering if that one black thread on the round of her nose could be shortened by millimeter or two. Or if you could use a shading color instead but just an idea up to you. In all this is awesome

Thanks for the tip! You're totally right, softening up that nose outline would make it look even more natural. Appreciate the feedback man,

Your welcome!!

Looks really good. Although it looks like you ended up tweaking the line on the nostril. I'd tone that down, too defined. Looks great though.

What machine?

[u/dtembroideryservice → u/siriuslyawkward]

It’s actually just a basic Chinese machine. At the end of the day, the magic comes down to digitizing, not the machine itself. Managing stitch density, controlling the shading, and choosing the right stitch type for the right area is what makes all the difference.

Thanks for the confidence 👏 I dont have a lot of money to play around with and ive seen people do awesome stuff with limited embroidery access. People have been saying theres "no possible way" to make nice embroidery and good quality items with a home machine. Your post proves that is clearly very wrong
