Its a peace sign but make it patriotic. The hand holds a V with the index and middle fingers up, both carrying a solid blue fill with small white stars across them, same blue as the flag canton. The palm and the knuckle section switch to red and white horizontal stripes running across the full width. Three colours total, and the split between the blue star fingers and the striped lower hand happens right at the knuckle crease so there's a clean visual break between the two sections. Under the wrist, the word Merica sits in a flowing cursive script in the same royal blue, starting with an apostrophe before the M like the casual spoken version.
Five sizes from 2.06 by 3.01 inches up to 4.79 by 7.01 inches. Stitch range is 6,896 to 22,053 so this is one of the lighter patriotic designs in the range and it stitches out quickly even on the large size. I built it in my main digitising tool at a medium density of 657 stitches per square inch so the satin fills sit firm but not stiff. Use a medium cutaway on woven fabric and a medium tearaway on stable knits. Hoop the fabric extra firm if youre going on a stretchy cotton blend, the script tail is the first thing to drift if the fabric shifts mid-run.
A customer ordered this one for a group of friends doing a matching fourth of july outfit and stitched the 4-inch on five different shirt colours. Red, white, navy, grey and black. She said it only really worked on the lighter three, which is fair advice worth passing on. Stick to white, pale grey, light denim or natural canvas for best results on the star section.
Email me if the cursive script registration drops below the wrist gap on your machine and Ill take a look.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- 4th of July t-shirt chest leftUse the 4-inch on a white or navy t-shirt left chest and the blue stars on the fingers anchor it against either fabric colour
- Patriotic baseball cap frontThe 2-inch fits a structured baseball cap front panel without crowding the button at the crown and the script reads from normal viewing distance
- Independence Day tote bagSew the 4-in on a black gym tote for a casual July fourth carry that you can reuse at farmers markets and beach days beyond the holiday
- Festival or concert tank topPut the 4-inch on the front of a festival tank top, the lightweight stitch count means it wont weigh the fabric down on hot days
- Kids summer shorts pocketThe small 2-inch sits on a shorts back pocket as a low-key patriotic detail for kids summer separates

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.
