I made this for the summer batch and it became one of the ones customers come back to every single year. Its got that burst energy without being too complicated, which is handy when you're running alot of July 4th orders in a short window.
The design is a circle of firework streaks, alternating between patriotic red and navy blue, all fanning outward from a 5-pointed star cutout at the center. The star isnt stitched in, its just the fabric showing through, which I like because it gives the center real crispness without adding a 3rd thread color. 2 colors total, 2 thread changes. Stitch count goes from 15,013 at the 3.9-inch smallest to 26,982 at the 6.8-inch size.
Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on most woven cotton or canvas fabrics. On knit shirts, back it with a cutaway instead since the radial fill runs can pull at the grain. Use a water-soluble topper if you're stitching on a pique polo or textured fabric to keep those streak tips from sinking in. Choose from 4 sizes between 3.9 and 6.8 inches wide.
Send me a note if you have questions about placement on a specific item and I'll help you figure it out.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Centered on a white tee for a 4th of July barbecue outfitOn a white tee, use a medium cutaway stabiliser and a topper on any textured knit surface to keep the radial lines crisp.
- Stitched onto a patriotic tote for a July 4th outdoor eventCanvas tote bags stitch cleanly; use the 4 to 5 inch size for a centered front placement.
- Embroidered on a red or navy cap for a veteran or military customerStructured caps need a cap-specific hoop and a medium cutaway; the smaller 4-inch size fits most cap panels.
- Placed on a kitchen towel as a festive Independence Day home pieceTerry or waffle-weave kitchen towels benefit from a water-soluble topper to stop the loops catching the needle.
- Added to a child's denim jacket for a patriotic summer lookOn denim, the radial fill lines hold well without a topper; a 5-inch size fits nicely centered on the back panel.

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.
