This is for a guy whose name is Pickle......spent all day digiing it and stitching (66,000 stitches).......it looks like a run in the label, but it is stitched, don't know why it is lighter in that thin line.......I think he will like it anyway, it is on the back of a jean jacket with a 10x10 hoop.....

Splendid! The lettering is great, even the tiny letters are perfect. Well done!
I wonder if the lighter streak has anything to do with the stitching sequence of the white, due to the "holes' in the white background. Sometimes a slight change in the direction helps, although you might get another one in a different spot and a darker fabric often shows through when using white. That's why I use a bit of white fabric underneath - when I think of it in time. Don't you just hate those quirks of the software!

Nice job...did you remove the white under the black Crunchy Pickle lettering or is the white a solid piece of fill...sometimes you can get that pesky little line when the fill stitches down to that area and then moves to another part and stitches back up...when I can I always move the start and stop to start at say the top left hand corner and end at the bottom right hand corner to eliminate the fill "meeting" in the design.

Yes, I removed the overlap under the chunky and pickle....I think if I hadn't done that it would have stitched fine.....I wanted to pare down some of the stitches, so went ahead and removed overlap......Boomer sent him a pic of it and he was head over heels, says he has been wanting to get this done for 15 years.....the pickle is his "graffiti" sign.....I love the pickle....makes me laugh..
