Finished quote embroidered on my jacket

Hopping on the trend. I’m a cougar.

I'm hoping to embroider this on the sleeve of my denim jacket

I’m trying to cover my jacket in cross stitch and this is the latest addition! I made the pattern my self.

After soaking my fabric and a full night’s sleep, I finally got all my waste canvas out. The pattern is my own design.

This was my first time using proper waste canvas. For my other projects I’ve used Aida. I’ve been picking at this with tweezers and a seam ripper for the last hour and a half, but the threads are getting stuck under the flowers and breaking, and I can’t get my seam ripper in the gaps between the crosses like I can on the background. Am I going to have to give up and rip out my project?

UPDATE

After soaking my fabric, a full nights sleep, and actually putting on my glasses, I got all of the waste canvas out from under my project! Thank you for all the suggestions!
