What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a dense design at roughly 1,631 stitches per square inch. Cut-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Best on stable, heavier fabrics — cotton twill, denim, fleece, sweatshirting.

The detail

Description

Show vintage tiger pride with this 1972 LSU Fighting Tigers embroidery design, built around a front-facing tiger head with an open mouth, bright teeth and bold fur striping. The purple, gold and white palette gives it that unmistakable Louisiana State University look, while the older mascot styling makes it especially appealing to fans who prefer retro team graphics over newer marks. It is a strong choice for alumni gear, game-day layers and gifts for LSU supporters who want the logo to read clearly from a distance.

Because the design is dense and heavily stitched, it suits sturdier fabrics that can carry a solid mascot logo without disappearing into the weave. It looks particularly at home on sweatshirt fleece, twill jackets, canvas totes, denim and the front of a structured hoodie or pullover. With only three thread colours doing the work, the finish stays clean and bold, letting the tiger face, teeth and stripes carry the impact.
