Pulled this together last spring for the bunch of customers who wanted something a lil more graphic than a straight flag design. Its the year 1776 in big block letters, ya know the collegiate varsity style, set in a gentle arc. Each digit holds a different part of the flag. The '1' and the first '7' get the navy star field, white satin stars packed with a dense directional fill. The '7' and '6' carry the stripes, horizontal satin runs stacked tight in red and white across the interior.
Theres a lightning bolt between the two pairs of digits. Its not decorative filler, it kinda just makes the whole thing feel charged, like the year itself is still live. No text beyond that bolt. I digitised it in industry-grade software and the density sits around 1,080 stitches per square inch so the fill areas dont bleed through on lighter fabrics.
One customer ordered this on a pale drill cap last July and said it came out sharper than expected. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser and use polymesh on stretch fabrics, the star field has alot of small satin shapes that sink into surface texture without it. Stitch count runs from 12,256 at the 4-inch up to 23,100 at the 7-inch. 3 colour changes, four sizes in the download.
Its best on dark navy or white. Ping me a note if the file needs anything fixed. Skip dark fabric for the colour pop. Pop a firm cutaway behind stretch knits.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
