❓ FAQs
Q: Can I resize this design?
A: Use the included sizes where possible; resizing by more than 10–15% may affect density in the shaded suit and globe details.
Q: What stabilizer should I use?
A: Medium or heavy cutaway is recommended for garments and stretch fabrics because of the higher stitch counts.
Q: Will it work on light fabric?
A: Yes, but for maximum impact this design is optimized for dark backgrounds; consider deepening the outlines if stitching on very light colors.
