A hand thrown up in a peace sign, two fingers raised, and the fill across the whole hand is done in American flag stripes and stars. The red and white stripes run horizontally across the fingers and palm, with the star field in navy filling one section. Four colour build: red, white, navy, and a neutral for the hand outline. Wilcom built the underlay to hold the stripe satin columns tight so they dont shift during the run, the density hits 669 which is solidly dense for the larger 7 inch version.
Five sizes from 3.01 inches wide at 8,831 stitches up to 7.01 inches at 25,752. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser underneath, the satin fill density at the bigger sizes will tunnel on anything flimsy. Theres three colour stops after the outline, so its four total thread changes. Dont back this on super-thin jersey unless you double the stabiliser. A customer who does 4th of july market goods ran this on canvas tote bags last summer and said it was one of her best sellers for the holiday weekend.
Run it big, the 6 or 7 inch version on the front of a tee or bag, and it reads instantly. Smaller sizes work on cap panels if your machine can handle satin density at that scale. Pair with solid white or navy fabric for maximum flag contrast. Youll want the contrast, its what makes the stripes pop on anything printed or solid-colour.

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.
