Patriotic Eagle American Flag Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Sketched this layout out around independence day, the concept is the bald eagle mid-flight with the distressed flag kind of shredding out behind it in those loose rough stripes. Its not a clean pressed flag, its got that torn wind-beaten look with ragged horizontal fill lines in red bleeding off to the right. The eagle itself sits on the left, wings angled up, dark blue body with lil white star shapes across the wing and chest area. Simple 3 colours and nine sizes from a tight 2.69-inch up to 5.37 wide, which gives ya real flexibility depending on what youre stitching on.

Im working with 5 sizes here, runs from 13,813 to 32,718 stitches. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, density around 762. The stripes use directional fill with slight angle variations to get that wind-ripple look, not just flat horizontal satin. One customer ordered this on a charcoal pullover hoodie and it really reads well on dark fabric because of how the red and white pop. Run a heavyweight cutaway on fleece, the flag section has a bunch of open area that needs support.

Use tearaway on woven cotton with a light topping on any texture. Stitch the eagle body first, it lays the base before the flag stripes come in. Pop this one on a navy or charcoal shirt and the red stripes really stand out. And watch your bobbin coming into the white section, its a small colour run but if your tension is off youll see it bleed under the red. Two colour changes total, pretty clean run overall.
