How many stitches and colours is this design?

49,959 stitches at the 7" size and 9 thread colours. There are 9 colour changes in the stitch order, so that is how many times you will swap thread.

How much thread will I need?

At the largest stitched size this design uses roughly 1036 ft top thread · 418 ft bobbin. Smaller sizes use proportionally less. Treat it as a guide for topping up a colour before you start, not an exact figure.

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a dense design at roughly 1,268 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?

Instantly. Your download appears on the confirmation screen the moment payment clears, is emailed to you, and is saved in your account library so you can re-download it at any time.

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

This BMW S 1000 RR design is all about the bike’s unmistakable profile, with the fairings, screen, mirrors, wheels and exhaust rendered in a modern realistic style. The white, grey, black, red, gold and teal palette gives it the crisp, high-contrast look riders and superbike fans will recognise straight away, and the RR marking finishes it with the right attitude. It suits anyone who wants their stitching to feel more like a tribute to the machine itself than a generic motorbike motif.

Because it is a dense, heavily stitched nine-colour design, it has the presence to stand up well on sturdy fabrics such as denim jackets, canvas bags, twill overshirts, sweatshirt backs and the chest of a heavyweight hoodie. It also works well on workshop aprons or garage banners where the solid fill and darker detailing can really show the shape of the engine area and frame. If you want a motorcycle embroidery piece with a clean, polished finish and plenty of visual substance, this one has that road-going, showroom-sharp feel.
