I'm in the initial stages of talking to a friend of a cowoker about reupholstering his motorcycle seat. After mentioning he was leaning towards a Batman theme talk went towards stitching the logo in the seat. Not being sure if I could do it I went ahead and did a trial run at it.
This was done with 1/2' scrim foam and V92 poly thread. Logo is about 8" wide by just under 4" tall
My question is, would you guys do something like this staying with the V92 or go to a thicker thread like 138? Would it make any difference really in how the finished stitch would look or hold up over time?
And yes, I realize I messed up a bit on the one ear. This is where I was starting and stopping my stitch and trying to get them to lock without very much back stitching so as not to mess up the look. Maybe the top of the head wasn't the best place to start and end. Where would you have started and how would you go about locking the stitch so there wasn't a bunch of overlapping detracting for the overall look?
