The edges of the stripes break and fray deliberately, the stars have a slightly worn quality to them, and the overall flag has that aged, weathered look like it's been through something. On fabric, especially darker backgrounds, it has a quality that clean flag designs just dont have. Its one of those cases where imperfect is exactly what you want, and the roughness of the distressed texture actually reads as intentional craftsmanship once its stitched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch and size data not available for this one so a test stitch on your intended fabric is a good idea first. The distressed edges mean the outer boundary of the design is irregular, which is normal and intentional. Thread count will be on the higher side since the distressing effects add fill complexity. Cutaway stabiliser is recommended even on woven fabrics here since the layered fill in the distressed sections benefits from the extra stability. Keep hoop tension firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is really a dark-fabric design. It shines on a black or dark grey hoodie back, a dark navy jacket patch, or a charcoal canvas bag. A customer put it on a black denim jacket back and said every single person who saw it asked where the jacket came from, which is the best kind of feedback. Also looks great on a military green tote or a dark waxed canvas bag if you want the worn-in look to match the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessage me if anything with the file isnt right and Ill sort it out fast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46423168483478,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/DistressedAmericanFlagEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1781593014","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/distressed-american-flag","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
