Part 1. How to Generate Embroidery Art in Midjourney

Assuming you have already mastered the basics of using Midjourney, follow the steps below to prepare your embroidery prompts for the best results.

Step 1. Decide the embroidery themes, techniques, and ways to present the AI image.

Basic prompt structure: Embroidery types and technique, description of the themes, color palette, aesthetics, genre.

You don't always need all the components. Sometimes, simple prompts can deliver unexpectedly good results.

Step 2. Finetune the prompts and enhance the output image.

Once we get the AI-generated embroidery image, we can revise the prompt, use the Region Vary tools, and remix the image when it's necessary.

Midjourney's base resolution is around 1K, when we zoom in on the source image, the embroidery stitches can become blurry.

The best solution is to use a dedicated AI image enhancer to upscale and improve the image to pixel-perfect results. Below are previews of using Aiarty Image Enhancer.
