I love both badges, but they don't look quite right without the white part embroided as well.

I still feel 29.07.2009 bottom left was your best. The embroidery just looks like textured paper when you're zoomed out to here.

Does draWINGS take raster images? I haven't got it to work well.

Any chance you could upload a Burton Albion badge with this effect, would love to see how it would look as our badge is very cheeply sewn in.

how are you using drawings? what file are you putting into it? i think if its a layered psd file it should work ok.

i dont have any fancy programmes to edit any pics nomore, ive found this pic which is in png format if thats any good? Dont worry If not but thanks for taking the time to reply. keep up the good work.

the smaller i made them the worse they looked. Some of the detail completely disappeared when it was smaller.

Probably should've toyed around with the size a bit more to get a better result

If you make your illustrator files smaller before importing them to the embroidery effect programme, you get a much more realistic effect. You are probably exporting these at something around the size of an A4 print, try making them a quarter of the size and see if that looks more like a crest you'-) find embroidered on a football shirt. Nice designs, I think I prefer the bottom one.
