I'm thinkin' you want me to have a little peek??
If not, do not read any further! /grin
/snaps on rubber gloves, dons protective glasses... in we go... /grin
21cm design
Initial visual, impressed!
A first glance returns a pretty clear portrayal.
A lot more stitches than even Herb achieved (!). Even more stitching
time! You are already working 70 hours a week... when are you going to
find 4 hours to sew this!!??
I am a fan of putting text on top of a layer of stitching (when
possible) as there is no possibility of gaps happening from
misalignment to the space that was left for them doing it the other
way.
Colour 1. Light yellow. Underlay. It's there on the left, gone on the
right! What happened there??!! /grin
Colour 3. Light blue. A little underlay overkill, but your enthusiasm
is heartening!
The direction is perfect, it's just a little close together. You just
need enough to make a mesh like base.
Same deal with colour 6, the blue in the pants. You are just looking
to reinforce it.
And colour 7, yellow. Almost double sewn.
Check out Herb's efforts (underlay) here.

You are just looking to "stabilise". Too much can cause as many
problems as too little.
It can be a grid, like Herb's. It can be a zigzag like you chose.
Ideally it goes "across" (right angles) from the direction of the top
layer of final embroidery. Like you have done.
Just space it out a bit more so it is not so much like a double
coating of top layer thickness.
10 and 7cm designs.
Are these just resized from the big one?? The stitching is different
in some outlining, so I can't tell if you did a resize and a touch up,
or just did a whole new design in the next two sizes.
Conciseness in the stitching of the smaller items (phonograph etc)
starts to be compromised in these sizes. This is why I am asking if it
is resized.
Small gaps are appearing around the hands and the brown in the
phonograph. Something that happens when the program has to decide what
stitches to delete to fit in the space.
Resizing is especially delicate when doing eyes... always fun when
they cross!! Not!
Compensation (overall) is good. Especially in the big one.
Compensation "compensates" for small amounts of movement that might
occur with hooping. Note "small" amounts!!

If I may, Herb??
I really liked your croc and seal efforts. Only worry I have is the
satin outline would not align. It will IF hooping is perfect and
stabiliser is adequate. I don't think it needed cutaway, but a good
tearaway would go a long way to keeping the black where it should be.
Compensation (I think Hus's default is as little as 5%) would go a
long way in ensuring outlines don't do the ghost thing. And
compensation has to be visually assessed when outlining with a single
line of stitching. Lots of things to watch for!
Satin outlines are always more user friendly, but even these will go
where they aren't supposed to and compensation will become your best
friend!
------------
Hope this helps Bigmama.
You are brave with the big designs!
If you are going to edit the biggest one, halve the underlay in the
colours after the light yellow and space the underlay stitches a bit
more. It is a bit much for the size of the design.
This will cut down on a lot of unnecessary stitching time and bulk.
Otherwise, with EXCELLENT stabilising and hooping, I would be
interested to see it sewn as a test run.
At the end of the day, speculation can't hold a candle to sewing it
out. Sometimes problems are obvious, sometimes not.
This is why people like Sue Box et al, have people to do testing for
them when they are satisfied they have a design ready for testing.
They give it to a range of people with different machines so that a
range of "mistakes" found by each stitchout can be reported and fixed.
