So, I've got one of the tabards appliqued and now it's time for the surface embroidery... But I'm having problems with the thread... I got some nice pearl cotton thread but I don't think I like the effect...
You see the top two black chains were done as two ply and you can see the stitches quite visibly, and I don't think I like it. I ramped down to single ply for the bottom chain, and while it's better, I'm still unthrilled by the result. What should I do here? Opinions? (Tristan's going to be wearing this sucker, so where-ever he is, he may want to weigh in...) PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST SPLIT STITCH. I hates them, I does.
Here's a "further away" picture for anyone who is caring for in progress pics.
