Just the flag. No fancy border, no eagle on top, no distressed texture underneath. Its the American flag as a clean embroidered patch-style design, the kind that works on practically anything patriotic you want to make.
3 colour build, navy handles the canton, red fills the wide stripes, and white takes both the narrow stripes and the fifty-star grid. The canton has all fifty stars in the proper staggered layout, nine rows alternating 6 and five. Comes in five sizes from 2.5 to 5 inches wide. Stitch counts run from 6,825 at the smallest up to around 16,002 at full size.
Every may and early june I sell a bunch of these and the orders keep coming through july. A customer of mine who does custom gear for veterans organisations told me she buys this one regularly for shirt runs because the proportions hold even on the small 2.5 inch version and the detail in the canton doesnt get muddy.
Pair it with navy, white, or a natural canvas fabric and the colours sing. Skip busy patterned fabrics, the detail in the canton gets lost fast against a print.
Use a cutaway stabiliser for the best density hold on the star fill area, its the tightest section. Avoid pulling the fabric too loose in the hoop or the stripes will shift. Ping me if youve got questions about sizing for a specific project and Ill help you pick the right one.

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.
