Merica sunglasses design and she sent me a photo of this one stitched onto a patriotic tee back in June and I wasnt quite prepared for how good it looked in person. The two lenses are doing completely different things visually and that contrast is kinda the whole point. Stars on the left, stripes on the right, and those two little floating stars between em at the nose bridge are the bit that makes you look twice.
The script reads 'Merica with the apostrophe at the front, big brush-style letters that lean forward a bit. Below that theres a blue decorative swash, a looping flourish thing that ties the whole composition off cleanly. Its a proper layered build, four colours running in sequence: red for the stripe accents and star, blue for the star field and the swash, white for the highlights and star fill, black last for the frame and lettering.
Pop a medium-weight cutaway under your fabric before hooping, the density is 620 here which is on the higher end for this type and the satin fills in the lens areas can drag on unsupported fabric. Four sizes: 5 x 4.83 inches (20,283 stitches), 6 x 5.79 inches (25,455 stitches), and up to 8 x 7.72 inches (38,332 stitches). The 6-inch is the one most people go with for a standard adult tee chest. Run colour stops in order and dont skip the white stop for the highlight arcs, they add alot to the gloss look of the lenses. Use a topping on knit fabrics so the star detail in the blue lens doesnt sink into the pile.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
