American Flag with Stars Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The flag is shown in portrait format, the deep navy canton with white stars sitting solid in the upper left and the red and white stripes running all the way down below it. Stars are the classic five-pointed style, individually satin-stitched in white on that dark navy background. Stripes use tatami fill alternating crimson and ivory bands, with clean satin column edges at each stripe boundary so the bands dont blur into each other.

5 colours in total. Navy, white, red, and 2 supporting outline tones that keep the stripe edges crisp at all sizes. Density is moderate at 409, and the largest 6-inch size comes in at 18,488 stitches which is a comfortable mid-length run. The smallest at 2.81 inches is just 8,652 stitches so you can badge a sleeve or a hat without spending much time on it.

Its a cleaner, more refined take on the flag than the distressed versions you see everywhere, which is exactly what some buyers want. I get messages from people doing fire crew and military family gifts who specifically dont want the worn-out look. Last july 4th I had a customer order 8 of these on navy canvas tote bags for a community tribute event. She said the clean lines photographed really well outdoors.

Works on white, red, or natural denim fabric. On white the full 5-colour design hits its cleanest read. Avoid patterned cloth, the stripe detail needs a plain base to stay legible. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on knit cotton or polo shirts and tear-away on denim and canvas bags. Hoop snug in portrait orientation to match the design shape.

Check your tension on the red stripe sections because the tatami fill density can vary if bobbin thread runs loose. Pop the 2.81-inch small size on a hat panel, or go full 6 inches on a tee chest for a bold patriotic look that holds up after washing.
