King of the Camper Embroidery Design, Camping Humor, Instant Download

The word "King" runs across the top in a wide flowing teal script, fancy looping letters, the sort that look hand-lettered, and a teal crown with rounded bumps sits right above it. Below that, "of the" is set smaller with a scatter of green five-pointed stars around it. Then a black teardrop camper fills the middle of the design, that classic rounded retro shape with the white door and black wheels, two big green pine trees rising either side of it. And then "Camper" hits the bottom in these massive orange block capitals with a chunky, almost distressed texture to the fill.

One customer ordered this last september for her husbands birthday hoodie and she said he wore it every camping trip after that, which I thought was pretty sweet. The stitch density is 519 on this one, its the highest in the camping range and honestly its worth it. The orange block letters alone have a solid tatami fill underneath, they need to be dense or the fabric shows through on lighter shirts.

Pop a cutaway stabiliser under whatever youre stitching on, dont use tearaway here. The design runs 4 colour changes, orange first, then dark green for the trees, black for the camper silhouette and the crown sequence last. At the 8 inch size youre looking at 33,239 stitches which is a proper sit-down project so leave yourself an evening for it. Use a 75 or 80 needle and keep your machine speed at about 75% for the block lettering sections, the satin outlines can pull if you rush them.

Five sizes available, 4 inch through 8 inch. The 4 inch works on caps and front chest pockets. The 5 to 7 inch range suits shirts, aprons and bags. Use the 8 inch on the back of a jacket or across a large tote.
