How many stitches and colours is this design?

52,247 stitches at the 7" size and 5 thread colours. There are 6 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 992 ft top thread · 383 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 1,418 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

Bring pit-lane polish to your stitching with this Formula 1-style shield emblem, built around the rearing horse, bold yellow crest and SF initials. The black horse stands out crisply against the yellow field, while the green, white and red stripe across the top gives it that unmistakable Italian racing feel. It suits motorsport fans who want a cleaner, more refined badge look rather than a busy graphic.

Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design in five thread colours, it has a solid, structured finish that works especially well on sturdier fabrics. I would place it on a softshell jacket chest, a canvas tote, a cotton twill cap or the back of a denim overshirt where the shield outline can stay sharp. The compact logo style also makes it a strong choice for garage shirts, kit bags and gift makes for someone who follows F1 closely.
