Its the word EXPLORE spelled out in chunky, rounded block letters, all in a single teal-aqua colour, and where the O would be theres a full globe sitting right in its place. The continents show up as lighter negative space cut into the tatami fill, so you get Africa, the Americas, all recognisable without needing a second colour. One colour. Done. The letters have a nice satin border around them with a directional fill inside that gives em that stitched-fabric look, not flat, not printed.

I made this one for travel lovers, obviously, but it works for alot more than that. A geography teacher last month ordered it for a canvas tote she brings to class, and honestly I wouldnt have thought of that myself. At the 5 inch width on denim or canvas the globe detail reads really clean without the continents blurring together. The density sits around 556 stitches per square centimetre which keeps it sharp on tighter weaves. On lighter fabrics like cotton twill or linen youll want a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser underneath so the satin letters dont drag and distort when the hoop pressure releases.

Stitch this on a cotton canvas backpack and the teal pops against any neutral colour. Try the smaller sizes on jersey fabric with a tear-away stabiliser if you want a softer hand feel on the back. Skip the topping on the globe section, its not a terry or fleece surface so you dont need it, and topping can muddy the fine continent outlines at smaller sizes. Use cutaway for anything thats gonna get washed repeatedly, the underlay on the letters needs that support long-term.

Give me a shout if anything stitches funny.
