This pattern of the Pauline Coat of Arms is one of the most complex embroidery designs I have created. At this size, the pattern needed over 90k stitches. In addition, it uses a lot of raised satin stitch, which means it does a lot of stitches over the top of each other to create a raised effect. I also used a lot of metallic thread for the embellishments around the edge.
You can also see I cut it out of what it was stitched onto. So the patch can be attached to something else later.
