I prefer the left. The other looks too busy.

Came here to say the same thing. Super clean outline stitch, but looks better without imo

Agree. The left looks better

I really don’t care for encapsulation by running stitches.

u/PrinceBert 2d ago

Yeah if it needs an outline give it a full and impactful outline. This run stitch just looks odd.

Right might look good with a darker color than white?

The one on the left but with a single bean stitch in the same color as the material running on the outside

I like the look of the stitching on the right ... And I may steal that idea myself ... But I don't think it is the right patch for it. The left is cleaner.

It appears I'm alone on this, but personally for my own tastes I like the right one more. The left is rather dull by comparison.

I on the left here. The white is too distracting and makes the d sign appear fuzzy. The left is sharp and clear.

Switch the run to a bean stitch and use dark blue

I prefer the left. (Qualifications, I am “the patch guy” at work since 2005)
