What would be the best way to recreate the stitching in this pic. I am doing it for a friends grandson and have everything done but the stitching around the text.

I am going to try something else to see if I can make it work... have to go out for a few hrs.

Make an image of a stitch, save as a brush, stroke the path of the text with the brush.

My path-waves script, perhaps?

jeanniem,

what i am having trouble with is how to make the brush angle change based on direction of stroke.
I tried everything and can't get the angle to change dynamically based on direction.
anyone knows how? let me know
edit: found it I had to click on Emulate Brush dynamics for angle to change dynamically based on direction

Good work guys, I forgot about your script ofnuts. thanks

Thank you all for your suggestions. I played around with different pattern, color overlays and embossed it and this is the result. This isn't exactly what I envisioned but I think it works.

I like that a lot Jeanniem. Works for me too.

I have not mastered the art of writing a tutorial, but I hope to soon.

before that please try ofnuts path-waves as it will change a path into exactly what you are looking for

The embroidering way is nice. Here is an attempt (just stroked the path with Cell02, size 10%, 30% spacing). Below, the same with an underlying shot with path-waves:

They are both very nice and would work great in the logo.
