Basketball Net with Cheer Bow Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres the basketball net with a cheer bow tied right on the rim. Its got a real game-day feminine touch. The hoop ring sits at the top in dark teal with a sage inner edge, and the rope strands drop below in long crossing diamond shapes that mimic real game mesh. The bow is the centrepiece. Big ruffled ribbons fan out either side with hatched line shading carrying the fold creases, then a tied centre knot wraps round the hoop.

Six thread changes do the whole job. Dark teal carries the rim and net rope, sage and soft mint do the gradient on the bow ribbons, navy and cream white pick out the bow centre knot detail, and charcoal outlines hold all the structure. Theres no team logo or number, so the design works for anyone customising for their school colours.

So I get messages alot from cheer mums asking for a hoop-and-bow combo that doesnt scream just basketball. This was the result. Last winter one customer ordered the 7.5 inch run for matching cheer team duffel bags, hooped on charcoal canvas, and the soft mint bow popped abit louder than expected against the dark fabric.

And best fabric is white, charcoal, navy or grey because the teal hoop and sage bow want a clean backdrop. Skip light teal or seafoam, the hoop colour blends into the cloth and you lose the rim definition. Pick canvas tote, cotton tee or fleece, the rope-stitch net needs stable cloth or atleast a tight weave to hold its diamond pattern.

But density runs heavy because of the woven net rope work, 19k stitches at smallest and 47k at biggest. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser and hoop firm. Run polyester thread on the bow satin so the sheen survives game-day washes. Drop tension on the rope mesh diamonds, the directional changes need calm pace or the net pulls a wave aswell. Hit me on email if a thread snags on the densest fill.
