backs up away with hands in the air no need to use that on me, I swear.

If I may critique... at your request.
I really do like the theme in this piece. Good texture, good use of focal point. The cyan draws the viewer to the center of the piece, as it is the brightest colour on screen. The red is the same value level as the blue, which is a nice contrast surrounding the center subject which is cyan. The greens and yellows bring the blues and reds closer together, without making purple. Colour balance is in this piece. Simplified by using a complimentary colour to draw the view to the center.

What does not work well with this piece is the use of similar values on top of similar values. Mainly the text. It's not bold enough to give an impact in the colour it's shown in. The words get lost on the piece. Though, the piece with the words is much more powerful than the image on its own. The words need more love put into them. I do believe either a different lighter colour choice would make them pop, as well as bolding them or making their girth larger.
I am not sure what is happening at the bottom, with the text and the yellow.. piece. thing. It seems to throw off the balance at the bottom.

All in all, as a personal opinion (not to be taken literally, if the artist has a different idea in mind) I believe the measuring tape tassels should continue to be red instead of turning blue then red. I do believe more focus needs to be put on the needles, as they are a very integral part of the piece. I would also probably make the text in a traditional medium or use filters on it, to flow with the rest of the work. As well as bolden them up and arrange them so they are more legible.

Another thing which I think may be overlooked but I view as a very enticing part of the piece is the white horizontal and vertical lines. I REALLY like those. They're very directional, give the piece a hinted geometric form, and add to the sewing/needle theme. Always been a fan of unframed lines.
