Material guide · Direction test
Embroidered
Thread direction becomes part of the drawing.
Satin and fill stitch on twill — the flagship. Sharp edges, real thread sheen.
Direction test
Turn the stitch path. Watch the surface change.
Move the direction control to see why stitch angle is a design decision, not machine decoration.

Ten construction studies
One material, tested against different kinds of marks.

Material is a starting hypothesis
Put embroidered against the real artwork.
The proof—not the screen—makes the final decision.
