Which do you like better? Did a test stitch for a digitizer and I ran the tack down after it was completed. I like the second one better myself, but wondering what others like. Oh this is going to be a garden flag when completed need to rehoop and stitch the wording still

If in the garden the top one will stand out better. BUT when you look at the second one up close the white stitching sets it off nicely.

Both look great! She should offer both versions. I know the raggedy look is in now. Chevrons are hot also. Looks as if she is getting both looks in one.

I would pick the first one.. the second looks like the edges not finished properly, fabric might fray to much and move from the zig zag, but that's my 2c worth

I like the top one the best. I don't know what, but something bothers my eyes in the second one. I see some people like the first one, and others the second one. So no help, you just have to pick it yourself.

I like the second one, too. I agree that it "pops" out at you. Nice to have choices.

yes I love choices, she was already giving the zig zag or satin stitch finish and then I go and do this LOL just shows how each person would add their own personal touch to the same design thank you

I prefer the first one. Makes the star and stripes jump out at you.

Yes that is what I thought too, seems a lot of mixed choices, goes to show we all have our own perspectives on embroidery which is why it is so nice to do can use the same design so many different ways thank you

thank you I do like them both but just thought the first didn't do justice to the material as much as the second one did

Michelle, definately the one you enhanced with the white...it keeps with the red, white & blue theme of the flag and it gives it more style.....

yes that's why i put the white on to me seemed so plain without it and only a quick stitch to add it on after LOL thank you

I love them both and would put them on different applications. Love the burlap too. Placemats, jackets, flags very nice design.

the designer only did the one without, but I thought it would look good with so added it after I sent her pictures LOL I thought it popped the design myself but just wondered how others thought, looks like everyone is torn too lol thank you

by msfancyvip1 14 May 2013

I think either would be suitable depending on the application that it is being used on. Personally I opt for the 1st version myself...just seems a little more sutle to me....but again, on certain instances or fabrics the 2nd version would be best. I'm no real help I guess< LOL! ~Rita.

And wouldn't that be neat across the back of a denim jacket? I'd love it. Either!

michele921 by michele921 14 May 2013

yes I know we all have our own likes and dislikes, I do like both but liked how it brought out the stars in the material myself so I am always at a lost LOL

michele921 by michele921 14 May 2013

oh and thank you LOL

Being the 'odd one out' here, I personally like the first version (No.1). Of course, it's probably a 'Man is from Mars - Women from Venus' thing but the top version looks much bolder. Now, my wife would prefer the second version especially if the white beading was in rhinestones (but then I'm not sure at times which planet she is from....lol).

Looked at the picture before I read you message and my thought was, I want to see what she did differently on the second one, it pops!
