When we talk about rick roll it is the term that is used when people who scan the QR code or open any prank link that redirects them to a famous rick Astley never gonna give you up song, the term is the combination of rick Astley's name, which is Rick and roll from an older meme called duck rolling, where users were tricked into a picture of a duck on wheels.

Embroidered Rickroll QR Code Patch

The Embroidered QR code Rickroll patches

The embroidered QR code rick roll Patch works like any other QR code that can be scanned. The difference is that instead of being digitally printed, it is stitched onto the fabric. When scanned, the QR code redirects to the classic Rick Astley never gonna give you up song video. The embroidered versions of these patches are:

A perfect mix of old school embroidery with modern technology.
Functions like a standard QR code despite being stitched.
It can be applied to patches, clothing, or even framed artwork.

Is it possible to embroider a QR code?

Yes, it is possible to embroider QR codes, but the process needs precision. The main reasons why it is hard to stitch and requires accuracy are:

  • QR codes are pixel-based, so if stitches blur or shift, the scanners will be unable to scan them.
  • Embroidery can distort.
  • Size should be 3 to 4 inches minimum, as any smaller would be hard to scan.
  • Black and white color contrast works best; patterned fabrics can confuse scanners.

So in general, yes, it is possible to embroider QR codes, but it's also important to make sure that they are accurately stitched so they can be scanned. Improper stitching, curvy lines, distorted thread, and missing lines can all cause both the QR code to be unusable and the scanner not to be able to scan it.

Rickroll QR Code Cross Stitch

What is the Rickroll QR code cross stitch pattern

It is a cross-stitch pattern made of the QR code that links to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up song video. If it is stitched correctly, people can scan your embroidery with their phone camera and get pranked. The cross stitch pattern is specially designed for QR codes, as it is pixel art and matches QR codes perfectly.

But you need to keep some things in mind;

  • You must be precise with the grid, because one wrong square can cause broken code. 
  • Needs high contrast colors like black thread on white fabric
  • Best if the size is large, which is at least 60×60 stitches, for reliable scanning.

Steps to stitch a QR code

  • Generate a QR code of the Rick Astley viral never gonna give you up video and test if it works by printing it on simple paper and try scanning it yourself.
  • Select white base fabric and black thread, as this color contrast works best.
  • Stitch it by using black floss for filled squares, leave blank (white cloth) for empty squares.
  • Stick to a tight, even weave fabric. Keep edges crisp and make sure there are no half stitches.
  • Test the patch by scanning it.
  • The QR rick roll.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
