Was touching up some embroidery elements on this guy and thought I'd share.
Despite using white tear away stabiliser underneath the white thread, that neon orange discoloured it more than I like. I use a wash proof paint (golden fluid acrylics) and a very fine paintbrush to add a layer of white that really makes it pop.
I also went in with a dark green in the pupil to add more contrast. The dark green pictured is the darkest green thread I have but it wasn't dark enough imo. I often touch up blacks too (on fill stitches). I've never been able to get my machine to have 110% no gaps noticeable on very dark colors. Something I should work on one day.
Once this is all dry I'll add that signature liquid sequins sparkle.
