Step 9Embroidery Embellishment (PG-13 Example)
Time for the customization! Use a non-permanent but visible marker or taylor's chalk to sketch out what you would like your coozie to say. In this example, the coozie says "More Tits, Less Cancer".
Embroidery is a vast craft. I use Sharon B's reference for fun how-to's and her extensive stitch library:

For many types of embroidery, the floss is split from 6 strands to 2 or 3 strands. For this project, keep the six strands together. The felt is really sturdy, and your stitches shouldn't buckle under the extra weight of the threads, unlike tea towels. Six strands also helps to create a nice raised effect.
The "More Tits" portion is done in a back stitch.
The "LESS" portion is done in a chain stitch.
The "Cancer" portion is done in a blanket stitch.
