The stitch density on this one sits at around 741 stitches per square centimetre, which is high enough that you really feel the weight of it when its off the hoop. That density is what makes the coral band read as a ribbon rather than a flat shape. I used directional satin columns that follow the curve of the infinity loop so the thread catches light differently depending on the angle you look at it. Inside the left loop theres a near-black tatami sky with scattered 8-pointed gold stars stitched as tiny individual satin crosses, then a crescent moon in warm gold sitting above jagged mountain peaks. The peaks themselves are a lighter gold, which separates them from the sky without needing an extra colour change. Coral pine silhouettes fill the base, same tone as the band, so the whole left scene has this really cohesive night-in-the-mountains feel. Right loop drops the stars and brings in a big sunburst, gold rays fanning out from behind a coral ridge line, each ray a narrow satin column running from centre outward. Aswell as looking great framed, this one stitches surprisingly fast at the 3.5-inch size, about 6,711 stitches total on a firm tearaway.

Needs a cutaway on stretchy tees but worth it because the satin band distorts bad on jersey without one. On denim or canvas a tearaway handles it no problem. A shop owner who makes custom patches for hikers wrote me last week saying the coral-on-black colourway is the one her trail clients keep ordering back. Pop the large version centred on the back yoke of a fleece jacket and it reads across a room. Hoop your fabric tight, use a topping on terry cloth so the star stitches dont sink into the loops, and keep bobbin tension snug so the coral doesnt gap at the inner curves where the band crosses itself. Skip light cream fabric if you want the dark background fill to anchor the scene properly, natural linen or cotton twill both work well here. Cut your underlay threads clean before the topping goes on to avoid shadow lines through the tatami fill.
