I agree. I use Pigma Pens for writing on my labels (I love them and they are really easy to control). They would also work to enhance the threads of the embroidery. If it were me I would get a dark green or black and just start on the outside of each letter going from outside toward the inside but only going about 1/3 of the way leaving the inside of the letter unchanged. It will look like it is shaded from the outside. It would give more contrast but leave the green you originally intended. I think it would look creative and amazing. Yes it would be a bit time consuming but not as much as embroidering around each letter. Post a pic when you've fixed it and let us see how it comes out ok?
