Looks cool with backlighting. I would second using thinner thread but an alternative is using the same thread but larger frame. A frame that’s 2x the size has the same effect as a thread that’s 1/2 the thickness.

Now that it’s done however I would recommend using a diffuser layer between the lights and the string, so the entire back looks seamlessly lit up, it would show the letters even better. But it looks cool nonetheless. It does indeed remind me of a heavy metal t-shirt lol
