{"product_id":"patriotic-eye","title":"Patriotic Eye Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single eye staring straight at you and inside the iris the american flag stares back. Crimson and white horizontal stripes run across the pupil area from edge to edge and a small navy panel with white stars sits right in the centre. The eyelid curves use directional satin stitching that follows the lid shape so it reads like an actual eyelid and not a flat outline. Detailed and a lil unsettling in the best way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive colours total: red for the iris stripe sections, white for the stripe gaps, navy for the star-field centre, ivory or light skin tone for the whites of the eye, and a dark charcoal for the eyelid outline and lash edge. Its a lot of colour-change complexity for a compact design but the Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitising handles the transitions cleanly with no muddy blending. Stitch count runs from 38,678 at 3.85 inches wide up to 74,270 on the largest 6.41-inch version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonestly this one suprised me when I first saw it stitched out. Ive made alot of patriotic designs and most of them are straightforward flag graphics. Last november a customer sent me photos of the 6-inch version stitched on the back of a black denim jacket. The flag stripe detail inside the pupil was sharp enough to read from across a room and thats what sold me on keeping it in the catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a firm cutaway stabiliser on any base fabric here. At 74k stitches on the large version this design needs a proper base or the fine stripe detail will pull and distort. Best results on black, navy or charcoal twill, denim or canvas where the eye outline really stands out. Hoop with very firm tension and use a white topping on dark textured fabric so the colour sits on the surface instead of sinking in. Pair with the 5-colour thread setup exactly as digitised. One color. Done. Send me message if your format wont import.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46216259764374,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/PatrioticEyeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1769663593","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/patriotic-eye","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
