Embroidery's not gay! I swear. Real men sew.

Really.

They do!



Alright, anyways, the wife bought a new sewing machine with her bit of the tax refund. It's a pretty sweet little piece, computerized stitches, embroidery, all that. So I spent a evening getting it set up for her, and then decided I wanted to stick the Mitsubishi logo on my armrest.

Not really a how to, as removing the armrest cover is dead simple. Once it's off, remove the staples that hold the cover on. Hoop it up, and BAM. Instant logo. Well, not really, but still..... Used photoshop to create the logo, then PS-Design to convert it to a embroidery format. Set up the stitch pattern and loaded it onto the sewing machine. Then BAM!

This is after I put the cover back on and stapled it up.



Here's some of the test samples I did before committing to doing it on the armrest, hah!



Final logo on the armrest



A close up, the detail turned out good, I think
