Designing embroidery patches OP 2016-03-13 19:00:48 Post No. 2440787 [Report]

Hello /ic/
/dbt/ here.

I am trying to design a patch which will go on the back of my jacket.

Now, I have a design in my head which I want to get embroided. I have found a company which is willing to do it for me as a 1 off (It's usually hard to find anything that does no minimum order)

Anyway, I am struggling with designing it.

Can someone help me?

Do I just give them reference photos and ask them to do it themselves, or should I just send them a final design ?

I'd prefer the final design route.

What's the best file type, art style and referencing method for this kind of thing?

this is the website, maybe you'll be able to tell me what I need to do to get the best result?

I will post images of what I want to make into the patch.

Would this thread be better on /diy/?

apologies if I'm all over the place, slightly drunk and excited to be moving this forward, so i'm a bit hyper.

All and any help appreciated

I don't know how fast this board is.

but a little bump or two for more references.

I want it to be this proud standing winged hussar. With some kind of White and red flag.

What I've been planning to do is to get these images into photoshop and then play with the treshhold to get rid of smooth gradients and therefore be able to embroider it nicely.

Will that be something that works?

It's a really slow board You could probably leave it for a week without needing to bump

I'm just finidng it ultra difficult to get my head around how the design needs to look for a seuccesful embroided patch.

I won't bump anymore, so if no one know anything, just let this die.
