Winter Deer Scene Embroidery Kit Progress: Progress On the Trees & Problems With the Pattern Lines

Hi everyone! Time for a new post about the Winter Deer embroidery knit I worked on earlier this year. This time, I will be talking about the progress I made on embroidering the trees. I will also be talking about the problems I ran into with the pattern’s lines.

First, this is what the tree I worked on looked like at the time I took the progress photographs…

The tree was difficult for me to embroider. It needed green floss for the pine tree’s branches and snow on top of the branches. I decided to embroider the green portions first. It made more sense to me because I could embroider the snow on top of the branches and make it blend in better. Doing this made the embroidering easier, but it was still hard to identify the snow portions from the branches portions.

Here is closeup of the green branches…

 

There was another problem with the embroidery design, the pattern lines.

Here is a closeup of the most difficult portion of the tree I needed to embroider…

The spaces for the snow are so small! Too small to be practical. I’m spacifically talking about the branches on the right side of the trunk. I needed to change how I embroidered that area (Deviate from what the master paper says to do) or else I would create holes into the fabric due to the amount of times I needed to pass over the small area.

It did work out right in the end, but it did make me really annoyed by it. Around this time I watched a video on YouTube which talked about AI embroidery patterns and the problems with them. You can watch it here. I think this pattern fits the description of an AI pattern due to these branches.

I’m not surprised if this pattern is AI created. Since I purchased it as a four embroidery kit set, made by an off brand, and was purchased from Amazon, there is a high chance it could be made by AI. I also saw signs of an AI style pattern on the previous embroidery project, which is also from the same kit. You can see it in my posts here and here.

Anyway, even though I became warry of the pattern, I decided to move forward in embroidering it. The only difference is I decided to change any embroidery stitch pattern and colors wherever it becomes too difficult to work on the area.

 

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
