Sizes and Stitch Counts

Embroidery Formats Included

26 formats included, compatible with virtually every home and commercial embroidery machine currently in use.

Recommended Uses

Jackets, hoodies, varsity apparel, sports bags, caps, and embroidered patches. The shield format works well for centered chest placements, sleeve patches, and premium fan merchandise where the complexity and color range justify a longer stitch time. Best reserved for high-quality finished goods including embroidered gifts, collector patches, and custom team merchandise where the Maryland state flag elements add a strong regional identity layer.

Stitching Tips

Use a medium-to-heavy cutaway stabilizer on all fabric types. The layered density in the Maryland flag quadrant fills generates significant downward force during stitching that a lightweight stabilizer will not adequately absorb. Run the machine at 70 to 80 percent of maximum speed to reduce registration errors at the color transition zones between quadrants. Give the machine adequate pause time to process each color change before starting the next segment.
