Patriotic Horse with Bandana & USA Sunglasses Embroidery Design, 4th of July Equestrian Machine Embroidery, Instant Download

Sat down with a request I get every summer from the horse crowd and this is what came out of it. Its the same messy-mane portrait style but done on a horse rather than a person, which turns out to work really well because the mane gives you all that flowing black line work to fill the lower half of the design naturally.

The flag sunglasses sit across the bridge of the nose, left lens in flag blue with white star outlines, right lens in red and white horizontal stripe satin. The red bow up top is stitched dense with layered satin petals, three colour changes total moving through Blue, Red, White, and Black in sequence. At the 7-inch size the stitch count reaches 28,459 which is solid coverage, density sits at 871 so it lays flat on most medium weight wovens without that stiff cardboard feel you get from over-engineered files.

Four sizes, 3 to 7 inches tall. Measure placement carefully before you hoop for the taller sizes, the mane lines extend well below the chin so its easy to underestimate how much vertical space this fills on a pocket or chest area. Use cutaway on knit or stretch, the long mane columns need a stable base or they shift. Use tearaway on denim, canvas, or a structured hat blank. Pop the 3-inch version on a cap and it centers perfectly above the brim with room to spare. Stitch the 6 or 7-inch on a jacket back yoke and the mane really flows.

I get messages about this one every june, sometimes earlier. One customer last rodeo season asked if she could send me a photo of it on her barrel racing vest and yeah that looked great. Message me if you need a hand with any of the files and Ill send a replacement straight away.
