What sizes are included?

There are 12 sizes included, from 3"–10" (all approximate). You get every size in the download, so you can stitch the same design on a pocket or across a back.

How many stitches and colours is this design?

46,877 stitches at the 7.1" size and 3 thread colours. There are 5 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 765 ft top thread · 284 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 1,168 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 bold sideline spirit to your stitching with this Western Kentucky Hilltoppers logo design, built around the unmistakable red mascot hand gripping a banner with strong WKU block letters. The red, white and black palette gives it that sharp college-sports look, with the outlined shapes keeping the emblem crisp and easy to read. It is a natural pick for WKU fans, students, alumni and anyone sewing support gear for the stands.

Because this is a dense, heavily stitched design with just 3 thread colours, it suits sturdier fabrics that can carry a solid sports logo well, such as sweatshirts, varsity-style jackets, canvas totes and blanket fleece. The filled areas in the red hand and banner give it a bold, substantial finish rather than a light sketchy look. With 12 size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, it works equally well as a chest emblem or a larger statement on the back of fanwear.
