Meshuggah My Battle Jacket

My battle jacket in its current state - let me know what you think!
The Venom patch is painted with acrylic, if anyone was wondering.

Was sewing inside the embroidered edge a stylistic choice?

I suppose it was just my lack of sewing skill when I started, but i just decided to keep it consistent so I never changed my technique :P how would you suggest I do it differently? :)

I would redo them all, by sewing through the embroidery, with my stitches running parallel to the embroidery threads, but it's your choice.

Is this purely for visual reasons? :)

Partly, since it hides the stitches but it is also less prone to tear or is some way damage the print on the patch and having stitches extending to the farthest edge of the patch probably (I can't confirm this) make the patch less likely to catch on something and tear away from the jacket.
