{"product_id":"i-am-black-history-raised","title":"I Am Black History Raised Fist Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fist is big and takes up the top half of the design, fingers pushed up, 3 colour sections running across it in forest green, crimson red and bright yellow. The text sits below and it really really carries the message. I AM in smaller caps, then BLACK HISTORY in wide heavy block letters underneath that stretch the full width of the composition. The black satin fill on those letters is dense and the letterforms are tight, no decorative flourishes, just direct and solid. Its a design that doesnt mess around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made this one specifically for a high school history teacher who asked for something she could use on her february classroom merch. She wanted her students to see themselves in the curriculum, not just as subjects of history but as the people who made it. The phrase does that without any extra context needed. She ordered the 4.21-inch size on white cotton tee shirts for the whole class last winter, she said the kids were suprised how good they came out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4 colours mean four thread stops total. Green goes in first, machine stitches the fist body, then red knuckles, then yellow at the wrist base, then black for the lettering. Keep a slow-to-medium speed on the satin columns in the text sections, the density hits about 27k stitches on the biggest 7.51-inch and you dont want puckering on those wide letter fills. Use cutaway stabiliser regardless of fabric since the black lettering anchors everything and needs support underneath. Dont skip that step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes between 3.28 and 7.01 inches tall, three-fifty-one to 7.51 inches wide. Stitch counts run nine thousand at the smallest and 27,422 at the full size. Wilcom digitised the underlay properly so the tatami fill on the fist sections sits smooth. Hoop firm and check your bobbin tension before you start, the black fill section is the heaviest single colour pass in the file. Pick a needle size that suits your fabric weight too, its worth doing right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend me a message if ya machine chokes on a colour stop or the lettering pulls and Ill look at the file and fix it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46276863131798,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/IAmBlackHistoryRaisedFistEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772702598","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/i-am-black-history-raised","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
