Juneteenth Raised Fists Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three fists raised together, thats the whole image and it lands exactly as hard as ya want it to. The left fist is red, the middle is gold, the right is green. Pan-African colours, no fuss, no extra decoration on the fist bodies themselves. Each one is a solid flat-fill silhouette with the knuckle and finger shapes reading clearly because of how the satin outlines sit at the edges. Below the fists theres a loose cursive word in light outline stitching that spells out Juneteenth, kinda like someone wrote it freehand.

Four colours total in the thread sequence, white first for the underlay and script base, then red, green, gold and another pass of red for the final outlines. Density stays low at 381 on the 5-inch size which is good news for lighter fabrics like jersey and linen. At 3 inches the stitch count is 6,380, at seven inches its 15,369 so the machine wont groan even on the biggest size.

A customer at a juneteenth celebration event in june bought the 6-inch version last year for volunteer tees at their community cookout. She told me the design hooped cleanly on cotton jersey in about 12 minutes and nine volunteers all got matching shirts done that morning. That feedback genuinely made my week. I get messages like that every june and its why I keep making designs for this occasion.

Pair the fists on black cotton for maximum impact. The red and green both pop off dark fabric in a way they dont on white. But a natural linen tote with these 3 fists stitched at 5 inches also looks great for a market stall or a black history month gala gift bag. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, switch to cutaway if youre on stretch jersey or fleece.

Hoop flat and slow the machine slightly on the gold fist, its the biggest fill area and density is light so rushing can cause a tiny gap at the top curve of the knuckles. Wilcom handled the satin column on the finger edges cleanly so dont skip the bobbin tension check before you run this one.
