Two colors, 1 color change, and my friend's 4th of July cap came out looking like she bought it from an americana shop. Thats what this design does, the alternating black and crimson stars arranged in a circle ring give it enough movement that it dont look flat even with the simplest color setup possible. Bold, patriotic, exactly what youd want on a hat or an apron for an Independence Day cookout.
Run a layer of medium tearaway under your fabric before hooping. The stitch counts low, under 18,000 even at the largest size, so it stitches fast. Use a topping on caps and structured hats so the needle doesnt catch in the weave. The open center is intentional, leave it clear or add a monogram, a date like 1776, or a short word. If youre putting text inside, match the font weight to the star outline thickness or itll look out of place.
Stitch the 3.4 inch version onto a shirt pocket or a hat panel, it fits without hitting seams. Use the 7-inch version on a tote front or an apron bib where you want the stars to read from across the backyard. Only 1 color change in the whole design, so its about as machine-friendly as it gets for a holiday wreath.
Nine sizes, 3.41 inch up to 7.31 inch. Text me if anything looks off and ill check the file.

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.
