Its the bubble letter trend done in thread, and it works because the letters are properly round and fat. Not just rounded at the corners, genuinely inflated like each one got blown up with air. IN at the top, MY below it, then CUSTOM and ERA spread across the bottom two rows. The colours alternate through the words, yellow into blue into orange into pink into coral, so each letter is a different colour from its neighbour. Small 4-pointed starburst shapes dot the edges like little sparkles.

5 colours, 4 stops. Wilcom organised it so you run through the starbursts first, then work through the letter fills in a logical sequence. Its not as complicated as 5 colours sounds. The letters each carry a single flat satin fill with no outline, which is what keeps the inflated look clean. Add an outline and you break the balloon shape entirely.

Density sits at 609 stitches per inch in the letter bodies. Thats medium-heavy for filled text, so use cutaway stabiliser and hoop your fabric firm. On light cotton or jersey the fills can pull the fabric into little puckers if theres any slack. The starburst shapes are fine satin work, so support them properly. Add topping film on any pile fabric. Inquiries pile in around tour season. One customer back in march who runs a small custom tee business told me she sells it almost every week, people swap in their own era wording and she reruns it on white jersey.

Sizes go from 3 x 3.5 inches at the small end up to 6.41 x 7.5 inches at the large end, nine total. Stitch count ranges from 9,666 to 29,272. Use white fabric for best colour impact, Im not gonna pretend otherwise. On dark fabric swap to contrasting light versions of each colour but the originals work on white or cream base fabric. Stitch a test on scrap cotton first to confirm the colour sequence is what you want before committing to your final garment.
