How much thread will I need?

At the largest stitched size this design uses roughly 212 ft top thread · 66 ft bobbin. Smaller sizes use proportionally less. Treat it as a guide for topping up a colour before you start, not an exact figure.

What stabiliser and fabric should I use?

This is a medium design at roughly 808 stitches per square inch. Cut-away or a firm tear-away stabiliser is the safe choice. Comfortable on most wovens and stable knits.

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.

How do I receive my files?

Instantly. Your download appears on the confirmation screen the moment payment clears, is emailed to you, and is saved in your account library so you can re-download it at any time.

Can I use this commercially?

Yes — choose the Small business or Extended commercial licence to sell finished items you stitch. The Personal licence covers gifts and items you keep.

The detail

Description

Bring retro lift to your stitching with this Gibraltar Kamikazes Club badge, built around a paraglider canopy and pilot silhouette framed inside a bold circular emblem. The wing-like side stripes, sunset bands, sea tones and rocky cliff detail give it the feel of a proper coastal flying club insignia rather than a generic sports logo. It suits paragliding fans, club members and anyone who wants that travel-meets-adventure look on their kit.

With 6 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough structure to read crisply on sturdier fabrics without losing the smaller linework in the canopy and suspension lines. It would look especially right on the chest of a softshell jacket, the back of a sweatshirt, a canvas holdall or the front of a cap with a clean, badge-style placement. The navy, orange, yellow and turquoise palette stands out well on dark bases, while the black and white details help the lettering stay clear.
