American Flag Fishing & Hunting Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Stitched this one out for the fishing and hunting crowd who also fly the flag hard. The american flag fills the whole shape, tight red and white satin stripes running horizontal with the blue canton up top carrying the stars. Then layered right over the stripes there are outdoor silhouettes, a fishing rod and hunting gear worked into the composition so they read as part of the flag rather than just floating on top of it. Its a busy design and it works because the directional stitching on the stripes holds the structure while the dark overlay silhouettes pop off the white stripes specifically.

3 colours, and the density is high at 922 so this is a proper dense piece. Stitch count goes from 23k at 3.5 inches up to just over 41k at the biggest 5.6-inch size. I get orders for this one every july without fail, but people order it aswell for memorial day, veterans day and general patriotic custom merch year round. One buyer told me last july they ran the 5-in motif on a canvas tote for a fishing guide charter and went through 14 hoops in one afternoon. Use a cutaway stabiliser and dont rush the needle speed on the dense flag sections.

Hoop on navy, charcoal, black, white or tan fabric and keep the ground solid. Avoid patterned base fabric entirely because the stripes and stars need a clean background to read correctly. Go with woven cutaway behind any canvas or twill. Add a topping on polo or shirt fabric so the satin stripes dont sink into the weave on the flag body. Slow your machine on the heavy fill sections or you will get thread breaks around the colour changes.

Best on caps, tees, canvas bags, fleece vests and outdoor apparel. Text me if something doesnt stitch right and Ill check the file immediately. One color. Done clean.
