Hello to all! I need your help to decipher the specific technique used in one set of Photoshop Actions. It is called Realistic Embroidery - Photoshop Actions and I found it here http://graphicriver.net/item/realistic-embroidery-photoshop-actions/6913493?ref=BlackNull, but cannot buy it through Paypal because of problems with my credit card. So I decided to make a similar effect by myself (I want to use it for texturing 3d clothing, to imitate handmade embroidery, it may be ideal for diffuse, bump and normal maps). But I cannot clear out what namely, how to achieve such irregular stitching within text or shapes?
I guess the author used some specific pattern or maybe a stitch brush but brushes can be used just along contours, eh? (He mentioned in the description -

The threads look large and dont fill the logo in completely. Is there a way to make the stitching tighter and smaller?”
How to get contours inside of a vector shape? Is it possible? What can be done in Photoshop to get such an effect -http://0.s3.envato.com/files/82030374/02_stylewars.jpg ? There is a video on that page but it just shows the presets working and I cannot clear out the technique from this tutorial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVux7OYt894&feature=youtu.be
I searched all over the Internet but cannot get any sensible answer yet, maybe it’s very uncommon task. Couldn’t you help me, if you have ever dealt with such a technique?
And there is another beautiful style for stitching and embroidery -Embroidery. 100+ Sewing Stiches with Fabrics ( http://graphicriver.net/item/embroidery-100-sewing-stiches-with-fabrics/7337171?WT.ac=search_item&WT.seg_1=search_item&WT.z_author=joiaco ) - how to make such one? I mean what may be right settings for Bevel, gradients etc?
Thank you in advance for help, I really need it.
