Top line reads unapologetically in a slim black handwritten cursive that runs across the full width. Underneath that, DOPE in massive chunky uppercase blocks where each letter is a different colour from the Pan African palette, the D in red, first O in green, second O in yellow, and the E in black. Every block letter drips. Wet paint trails run down past the baseline with little teardrop droplets pooling at the bottom of each letter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 colours, 4 sizes. Black, red, dark green, yellow. Bobbin runs through both the cursive top word and the block bottom word. Stitch range is 6,104 at the smallest 3.01-inch wide all the way to 13,413 at the largest 6.01-inch. Density sits at 439, on the denser side, which the dripping letterforms need so the paint trails dont look patchy. I digitised this in industry tools with horizontal directional satin on the block letters and a thinner running fill on the drip teardrops to keep them tidy. Up top the script word uses a satin column with light tearaway underlay to stop wobbling on the curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer messaged me last march, she did the 5-inch wide version on the back of a cropped black hoodie for a friends birthday gift, and she swapped out the standard green thread for a metallic gold to play off her friends gold hoops. Worked suprisingly well, the drippy texture reads even louder with metallic catching light. Honestly its the best swap Ive seen on this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest fabric pairings include heavyweight cotton fleece, black or white tees, denim jackets, canvas tote, or sweatshirt. Avoid stretchy lightweight knits because the drip letters need a firm base to hold their shape, the paint runs will warp on jersey that has any give. Hoop with medium cutaway and add a layer of water-soluble topping if youre stitching on textured fleece, the lettering details get lost otherwise. Skip nylon and slick performance fabrics, the satin density wont sit flat on them. The smallest 3-inch wide reads fine from a metre away cause the colour blocks carry the design even when the script lettering above starts to compress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText me through the contact form if you need a one-off size resize or want this colourway recoloured for a different palette, ill rework the stitch file and send it within the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46212435378326,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/UnapologeticallyDopeEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1769495502","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/unapologetically-dope","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
