A graphic for application to a textile, comprising:
- a single layer graphic having a front surface configured to be viewable when the graphic is applied to the textile;
- a back surface opposite said front surface, said back surface configured to contact the textile;
- and
- an attachment mechanism, other than stitching, configured to attach the graphic to the textile;
- and
- a simulated stitching pattern extending around a perimeter of the graphic, wherein said simulated stitching pattern includes a series of projections extending outward from said perimeter of the graphic, wherein said series of projections are formed integrally with the single layer graphic.
A single layer graphic, comprising:
- a top surface configured to be viewable when the graphic is applied to a textile;
- a bottom surface opposite said top surface, said bottom surface configured to directly contact said textile through an adhesive attachment mechanism, wherein said adhesive attachment mechanism is disposed on said bottom surface and configured to attach the bottom surface directly to said textile;
- and
- a simulated cross stitching pattern cut and etched into said graphic and extending around a perimeter of the graphic, wherein said simulated stitching pattern includes a series of projections extending outward from said perimeter of the graphic, wherein said series of projections are formed integrally with the single layer graphic.
