It doesn't matter how great your embroidered design looks if it doesn't look good on the garment upon which it is being placed. In the example above I had to completely change the composition, color scheme and placement four different times to get a design that looked fine on its own and also looked good on the taupe t-shirt. This is a battle I'm sure you are always facing. That is the reason I built 25 different garment and home decor patterns into Compositions project based embroidery design software. Using this software you can always try your embroidery on you garment before you sew it out and possibly solve a problem before it's too late.
