Doing a Halloween shirt. It's black. Have black bats to embroider... Obviously not going to show - what would you do? Use a darkish grey that would show?

What ever you do, put up a picture! Brown bats, gold bats..if you look in nature's true colors there are all shades! So go for it!

Thank you all for the excellent suggestions!

I use dark gray (pewter) and it works great.

I used a twisted black/white thread on black adn it looked like dark grey :)

How about using purple or brown for the bats? Or applique a full moon and embroider the bats on the moon.

I love that idea of applique moon and embroider bats on moon - well thought out and hopefully a big help for dpickel

If the shirt is a mat black Stitch in a glossy black or stitch the outline on a straight sewer or by hand with a thread that shines in the dark. goodluck

Try a gold colour

If there is an outline could that color be changed?

Unfortunately, no outline. They are solid.

Yes, I would use a darkish grey. I did a tiger on a black jacket with a dark grey, it came out relly good.

I would do it in white!!! or in orange... Have fun! Pat
