What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a dense design at roughly 1,636 stitches per square inch. Cut-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Best on stable, heavier fabrics — cotton twill, denim, fleece, sweatshirting.

Is this a patch or a finished item?

No. This is a digital embroidery design — a set of machine files you download. It is not a patch, a transfer, or any physical item, and nothing is posted to you. You will need an embroidery machine and a way to transfer the files to it.

How do I receive my files?

Can I use this commercially?

Yes — choose the Small business or Extended commercial licence to sell finished items you stitch. The Personal licence covers gifts and items you keep.

The detail

Description

Add bold patriotism to your 4th of July stitching with these lips filled in a waving American flag pattern. The red, white and blue stars-and-stripes detail gives the design a flirty, graphic look that feels more fashion-led than novelty. It suits anyone decorating Memorial Day or Independence Day outfits and accessories with something distinctly USA without defaulting to a standard flag shape.

This design would look especially strong on denim jackets, sweatshirt fronts, canvas tote bags and the back pocket of jeans. With 5 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, it has a solid, filled-in appearance that stands out best on medium to heavier fabrics. The bold lip outline and rippling flag effect read clearly from a distance, making it a good choice when you want one patriotic motif to carry the whole piece.
