How many stitches and colours is this design?

66,339 stitches at the 7" size and 5 thread colours. There are 9 colour changes in the stitch order, so that is how many times you will swap thread.

How much thread will I need?

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a dense design at roughly 1,925 stitches per square inch. Cut-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Best on stable, heavier fabrics — cotton twill, denim, fleece, sweatshirting.

Is this a patch or a finished item?

No. This is a digital embroidery design — a set of machine files you download. It is not a patch, a transfer, or any physical item, and nothing is posted to you. You will need an embroidery machine and a way to transfer the files to it.

The detail

Description

Show some classic court energy with this Detroit Pistons logo design, built around the horse head and flaming basketball emblem with the angled banner and bold "PISTONS DETROIT" lettering. The blue, navy, red, white and grey palette gives it that unmistakable early-2000s NBA look, with strong contrast that reads clearly at a glance. It is a solid choice for Pistons supporters who want a recognisable team mark rather than a generic basketball graphic.

Because this is a dense, heavily stitched design, it has the visual weight to stand up well on substantial fabrics like sweatshirt fleece, denim jackets, twill overshirts and sturdy tote bags. The circular emblem and block lettering help it keep its shape nicely, while the flames and horse head add movement so it does not sit flat or lifeless. With 12 size options from 3" to 10", it can work as a smaller chest placement or a larger back feature where that bold sports-logo styling really comes into its own.
