Three words stacked, a rectangular bar underneath, and a pair of curly pink moustaches flanking the middle line. Thats this one. The top word sits in dark green chunky block letters with a little cowboy hat perched on the first letter, the middle word runs in red with the moustaches on either side, and the bottom word fills the last row in blue. Under everything theres a coloured bar chopped into rainbow segments like a computer loading screen circa 2003, which is exactly the right era for this kind of humour.

Seven colours, 6 colour changes, 38 trims at the smallest 2-inch size scaling up to 40 trims at 3 inches. Stitch count is 3,946 at 2.01 x 1.70 inches and reaches 13,546 at the 6.01 x 5.09-inch version. Back with cutaway jersey or knit, tear-away works fine on stable woven cotton. the software I use handled the 7-colour sequencing so youre not breaking thread mid-word. The block letter satin fills are the heaviest sections, the coloured bar segments use dense satin columns with clean breaks between each colour stop.

Five sizes from 2 inches up to 6 inches give you flexibility. Stitch the 2-inch version on a polo chest for a subtle hit, or run the full 6-inch centred on a sweatshirt front. The cowboy hat detail reads at all sizes because its kept as a simple satin shape, not a fussy filled element. A customer asked whether the bar stitches flat on polo pique and the answer is yes as long as you place a topping on those segments, it keeps the satin edges from sinking into the weave texture.

A fathers day standby but honestly useful any time someone in the house is on a bad joke run. Peaks every June, doesnt go stale the rest of the year.
