{"product_id":"250-years-freedom-eagle","title":"250 Years of Freedom Eagle Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 250 Years of Freedom concept really got me invested in this design, its the kind of patriotic piece I actually enjoyed digitising. That bald eagle portrait is the centrepiece, white and silver satin feathers with directional fill, a gold yellow beak that has its own underlay so it stays crisp at 3.5 inches. The bird breaks out of a navy circle replacing the zero in the ornate \"25\", curly serif numerals with solid tatami fill underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the numeral block, three wavy red satin stripes do the flag-wave thing, and \"YEARS OF FREEDOM\" sits in heavy block caps below with six little navy stars across the bottom row. At the full 7.5-inch size the stitch count hits 30,201, thats alot of thread, so use cutaway stabiliser underneath, not tearaway. The density sits around 660 and it wont bleed on most cotton or linen but the cutaway really matters around that eagle circle edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crafter I know from my online quilting group ordered this last spring for a veterans memorial event, she used the 7.5-inch on denim and sent me a photo of the finished jacket back panel. Genuinely striking at that scale. Hoop your twill or denim good and tight, centre the design, and let the underlay pass finish before you check the satin stripes. Skip tearaway on anything with any give.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop the 5-inch on a natural cream canvas tote and the red stripes against that background look realy sharp. For a structured cap the 3.5-inch version at 11,567 stitches is what you want, centre it in the crown panel, the tatami fill on those navy numerals sits flat without bobbin bleed on cotton twill. Add a water-soluble topping on any dark fleece so the white eagle feathers dont disappear into the pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse cutaway on fleece and jersey, full stop. Iron your hooped stabiliser flat before you start, the weave can shift on canvas if you dont, and the jump stitch frequency near the circle medallion will show in the finished piece if the base isnt properly stabilised. Pair the full size with a denim back panel and you get something that reads from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlag me down if the corners pucker on a stretch tee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428621373590,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/250_Years_of_Freedom_Eagle_Embroidery_Design.png?v=1781929443","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/250-years-freedom-eagle","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
