While I originally wanted to create a design that covered both the front and back shoulder areas of the shirt, I decided to just complete the front upper-left corner for this project, due to time constraints, as embroidering this one area took me roughly 9 hours to complete. However, I hope to eventually finish embroidering the front, and to embroider the back.
On future embroidery projects, or when I continue this one, I will make sure to tie off my thread everytime I switch colors. In this exploration, I ended up using the same embroidery thread for several patches of embroidery that were not adjacent, making the back of my embroidery very messy, and the threads easier to snag.
However, despite some of the setbacks and problems, this project not only allowed me to explore a new stitch, but it also introduced me to an efficient way to transfer my design to the fabric, using a light-board, a template, and a FriXion Pen, which disappears when heated with an iron.
