Embroidery Sucks! Fortunately, there's Twilight!

[Ziggy and Angelbaby]

A charming topic you've got here, as usual. And part of me is envious of anyone who knows what the hell they're doing with a needle and thread.

1. hand-drew the pattern with a pen
2. back-stitched the outline
3. fish bone-stitched the large ray on the right, and the 2 smaller rays next to it
4. satin-stitched the right halves of the large top and bottom rays
5. whip stitched around the remaining outlines to give them body
6. a rough fill stitch for the left half of the disk, and decided I liked it enough to leave it that way
7. centered the design, and traced the inside of my hoop with a pen
8. cut the patch from the cloth, cut out the darts, and back-stitched the border in place
9. whip-stitched the edging

Much of the above meant nothing to me. xD I understood... "Hand-drew" and "cut."
