Firefly doesn't respect the reference structure.

Hi, I was creating letters that looked like jeans patches with their seams. The results were excellent. Then I tried to do the same thing, but to make the letters look embroidered. I tried many variations, changing style references, countless prompts, doing word-by-word, parameter combinations, and nothing. I can't get Firefly to respect the reference structure. It creates images with various background embroidery, landscapes, people, etc., and on top, the structure I indicated, but flat, with no effect.

I've spent countless credits without getting anything right.

I hope you can tell me where the error is. Thanks.

Hey @alejandro26378292pt2t 

 well done with how the images turned out. They look good. 

1st FF doesn't do too well with text. Keep the text short for best results. 

2nd include the text that you want in the prompt as well.
Example: embroidered text: "custom brand", on white background in the composition reference

Include a screenshot of what style of embriodary that you want
Place that in the style reference

Bonus tip
Sometimes just start a new seed. I mean open a new tab and start over. Sometimes FF gets in a rut.

After a bit of experimenting, I got this result consistently. I would take a moment and clean up the image. 

 
You may find using PS (photoshop) a much better app for this type of project and control. 

Cheers
Nate

    Hi, thank you so much for your time. I got tired of trying and wasting credits, so I solved it using GPT. Here's the design structure, where part is denim and part is embroidery (the latter is what I couldn't achieve).

     

    And these are some of the results for the denim lettering.

     

    And this is what I achieved with GPT.

     

    Now it's time to edit...

    Again, thank you so much for your time.
