46,976 stitches at the 7" size and 4 thread colours.

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

The detail

Description

Bring patriotic grit to your stitching with this American Excavators design, where a line of diggers sits in front of a starred and striped flag. The mix of crawler tracks, wheels, bucket scoops and strong flag detail gives it a solid industrial feel without losing the red, white and blue impact. It suits operators, plant hire teams, construction fans and anyone who wants a USA-themed design with more steel and substance than the usual stars-and-eagles look.

Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with 4 thread colours, it reads best on sturdy fabrics that can support the coverage. I would put it on canvas work jackets, heavy sweatshirts, denim overshirts, equipment bags or the back of a mechanic-style shirt, where the black and grey machinery stands out cleanly against darker grounds. With eight size options from 3" to 10", it can work as a neat chest piece or a large statement on the back, and the bold shapes help the excavators stay recognisable at either scale.
