A lot learned from my first patch, a lot to learn still. My sister literally told me that using all 6 strands like my tutorial told me is rather unusual.

What is the size? What a very cool thing to make!

I like to freehand my patches and using all strands of the embroidery yarn really is too thick, I like dividing them in half cause it makes it easier to do some finer details. At the cost of time, I suppose
But then again I am self taught and embroider band patches on reclaimed scraps of old fabric so I might not be the best teacher lmao

I'm an outsider (I think the new term is tourist) so take my two cents for all it's worth but I think it looks great for a second-ever stitch.
