Digitizing Faces VI Embroidery Project

	Figure 1

The eyes actually have multiple components: the eye itself, eye lashes and eye brows. In this situation (see Figure 1) the eyeball is a fill pattern with the pupil/iris being a satin stitch. For the size and space available, this layout works well. For larger designs and/or close-ups, more eye detail can be created. The eyelashes were created using an interconnecting series of satin stitches. This could have also been done using complex run stitches such as beans.

Due to the overall size of the design, the digitizer chose to use minimal details for the eyebrows as shown in Figure 1. In a larger version, the eyebrows could have been created in a similar fashion as the eye lashes, using running stitches.
