How did you get on with the stitches?

I've just been playing around and found that doing it via texture is pretty easy and effective

Hi Dave,

Honestly I have to admit I have not finished it yet, because just after when I posted the question I got some projects - entirely other field as I work mainly on printing field - and I'm still snowed under.
Anyway I've just taken the initial steps in 3d so what it takes you 10 minutes maybe it's well over 30 for me.
I started to build an interior where the "main product" actually the roof window in the lifestyle picture. This sofa is just the very small part of it, but we need lifestyle pictures in B0 poster size. And there every detail counts to persuade your customer.
Speaking about this size what do you think it takes to render in press quality? B0 is 1000x1400mm with 300dpi. Can you suggest me some "ideal" settings?
As you can see from the attached picture I try to be photorealistic but it's really hard for a beginner.
I would really appreciate some practical, down-to-earth tips.
Anyway thanks for help. I think it's a great community indeed
