Original OpenAI API image selected from research plan sashiko. Automated independent style review and visual review: Visible white running stitches on indigo cloth with repeating geometric sashiko-style pattern; flat textile study, square, no obvious text/watermark, and not a near-copy of the comparison samples. Exact and conservative perceptual duplicate checks passed against existing samples and this batch. Exported to 1200px and 640px WebP; source 1024px enlarged for full display. No human visual review.
How to use this promptRead as Markdown
Running stitches organize the cloth
Short visible running stitches create geometric rhythm against indigo cloth. The seam-map variation concentrates that rhythm around bands and edges, leaving larger quiet areas between them.
Use the examples to compare spacing and placement. The generated cloth does not establish a tested stitching pattern, actual reinforcement strength or a complete sewing method.
