At 43,200 stitches in the 7.5 inch, the density reads 822 and you can feel it when you hoop this on canvas or denim. The surfboard itself gets directional tatami fill on the coral-red panels and the cream centre strip, and all the outlines are satin, so theres that nice lift at the edges against the flat fill. Sky streaks are horizontal hatched runs that look like actual brush strokes once its stitched out. Im suprised every time how clean those thin coral-orange lines hold even at the smaller sizes.

Its a circular badge composition which is great because centring on a pocket or hat panel is dead easy, theres no awkward corner to fuss over. Five sizes, and the smallest comes in at just under 16,000 stitches. The navy blue wave bands and the black palm silhouettes stitch up quick because theres almost no colour changes in those sections. A guy who runs a local surf shop ordered a bunch last tuesday for tote bags, said the golden yellow sun disc came out bolder than he expected on the natural linen. Dont sleep on the mountain outlines on the right side either, those cream satin ridgelines add alot of depth to the whole scene.

Needs a cutaway stabiliser on denim or heavy twill because of that 822 density, dont try topping on dark fleece or the teal waves lose definition. Hoop the 7 inch centred across the back panel of a canvas tote and it pretty much carries the whole design on its own. Use a water-soluble topping on terry cloth if you want those wave details to show properly. Skip fiddling with bobbin tension if your machine handles the satin outlines clean already. Pop the 5 inch on a chest pocket of a navy jacket and that red surfboard basically reads from across the room.
