I Play Outside And I Do What I Want

Hi everyone, happy holidays! I want to touch base on something important: test stitching. First, the TLDR: I'm looking for help with testing patterns.

Test stitching is an important part of designing patterns, to make sure that the colours come together well – especially since, like my standard disclaimer says, online pattern makers won't always match the colours right.

Well, so far, taking into consideration that some pokémon have multiple forms, I've put together 808 different sprites (not including shinies). And I just can't test them all. I've taken notes on the ones I've stitched so far, but there are a looooot more I've got in mind that could benefit from a bit of experimenting. I'm thinking of updating the pinned post with specific sprites that need testing, but feedback on any sprites would be hugely welcome.

Here's what I would be looking for:

Pictures!!! These would be so helpful.

Did you use the colours the pattern suggests?

If yes, does it look good, or are there any colours that you feel could use adjusting?

If no, what changes did you make?
