Stitch it out as a stand-alone patch as shown here or embroider it directly onto the base fabric or project of your choice.
For yourself, or as a gift for your favorite walking partner, the design would be a fun way to embellish a walkabout project, such as our Adjustable Slimline Waist Pack or our Water Bottle Sling Carrier. Both of these are FREE projects, and there are lots of other options in our complete Bags project category.
The design finishes at approximately 4” wide x 4⅛” high, which means it should fit most standard mid-range machine embroidery hoops. We used the Janome RE18 Hoop, which is 5.5” x 7”.
Along with the design in your chosen machine embroidery format, you’ll be able to download a Thread Chart showing sizing, stitch count, and color change order; as well as a full color PDF showing our recommended steps for hooping, stabilizing, and stitching a stand-alone patch. Of course, as mentioned above, you can certainly embroider directly onto your chosen fabric.
Our colorful digitized design, including the Mini Tutorial on Stabilizing + Stitching a Stand-Alone Patch, is just $4.95. If you’ve shopped with us before, you know we have continued to keep the cost of all our Etsy Shop items very affordable, while maintaining the professional, thorough instructions and the gorgeous sample photography S4H is known for throughout the sewing and craft industry. Quality for the win every time!
