Fire Flame Patch Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Small flame built like a real patch. Theres a thick black outline running the full perimeter, red sitting just inside the border as the outer flame, yellow body filling the bulk of the inner tongues with sharp peaked tips, and a tiny white teardrop floating near the centre as a hot spot. Its patch-grade construction, every colour bounded by black, the kind of crisp graphic you find on jacket badges and merit awards.

Four thread changes here, runs through yellow, red, white, then the black outline last so it sits cleanest on top. Stitch count is modest, 1,979 at the smallest 1 inch, 7,954 at the 3 inch, but the density is high at 1,092 and thats why it reads solid even at the wee size. Wilcom finished the black with a satin border roughly 2.5 mm wide, that perimeter is whats making the whole thing look like a sew-on patch instead of just an embroidered shape.

I get orders for the small inch sizes a lot, mostly from folk sewing em onto baseball cap fronts or denim jacket sleeves. One girl from the midwest emailed me back in october, wanted to know whether a row of three would fit running along the front of her black motorcycle vest. Sent her sizing notes saying Id aim for the 2 inch each with about half-inch spacing, and she pulled it off, posted a photo with the row sitting just above the breast pocket. Looked sharp.

Best ground fabric is denim, twill, canvas, or wool melton, the structured stuff actual patches live on. The 1,092 density needs a solid weave underneath, knit fabric will stretch and warp the black border. Back the hoop with medium cutaway even on the smallest sizes since that perimeter satin draws the fabric in hard. Run your top tension a notch loose so the white highlight doesnt sink down between the yellow and look grey instead of bright.
