I pulled this one up and he ordered five. Cant say Im suprised. Its a circular badge design with Bigfoot striding across the centre, grinning like he knows something you dont, ringed by bold arcing satin lettering spelling out \"hide and seek champion\" along the top and bottom curves. Two pine tree silhouettes sit either side of him, and little stars flank a \"since 1987\" detail underneath. The whole thing reads like a vintage iron-on patch from a camping supply store that closed thirty years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBigfoot himself is stitched in that classic burnt orange rust colour with darker charcoal shading carved into his fur to give him real depth. Im using directional fill on the body so the satin runs follow the muscle shapes, and the underlay holds everything tight even on stretchy fleece. The cream background inside the badge circle keeps things clean. Bold text on the outer ring uses heavy satin columns with a dark charcoal fill, maybe four or five thread colours total across the whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoop a piece of mid-weight denim or canvas with a cutaway stabiliser underneath. Skip the tear-away on anything structural like jacket backs or thick twill, you want that cutaway staying put permanently. The 7.5 inch version fills a jacket back panel well. Use a topping layer of water-soluble film if your fabric has any texture so the lettering doesnt sink into the weave. Centre it carefully because the circular border is what sells the patch look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch counts run from around 17,823 on the small end up to 41,255 on the largest, so yeah, this is a complex piece with real density. The 3.5 inch version is honestly pushing the minimum for readable text in the ring, so I wouldnt go below that on fabric. Pop the 5 or 6 inch onto the back of a canvas trucker cap or a fleece hoodie pocket and it sits at just the right scale without crowding the surrounding fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with a strong charcoal thread for the outline passes and let the bobbin tension run a lil looser than normal if you notice the badge ring puckering. Iron the finished piece from the back with a pressing cloth to settle the tatami fill and get that flat patch look. Cut jump stitches between colour changes clean to the knot so nothing peeks through on the cream sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrop me a line if you cant get the colours to match mine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46430724456598,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/Hide_SeekChampionBigfootEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782195391","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/hide-seek-champion-bigfoot","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
