Blue Whale Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

The whale is in full body view, gliding just under the surface with its tail flukes raised up and breaking through the waterline. You can see the long horizontal line of the water surface across the top third of the design. The body is long and tapered, pectoral fins fanning out from either side. Seven colours but theyre all blues, layered from a pale ice blue on the belly and underside up through sky blue and into deep cobalt and navy on the back and dorsal ridge. White stitching outlines the surface wave and the white underbelly stripes.

The blue layering is what makes this one look good. my standard software ran directional tatami fills in bands along the body length so the whale has that smooth sweeping silhouette you see in wildlife photography. Small but important detail: the eye is just a simple black oval with a white highlight catch, but it gives the whale a presence that flat designs dont have. 9 sizes from 2.11 by 3.49-inch pocket-sized up to 4.55 by 7.49-inch for a jacket panel or large tote. Its a lean stitch count too, tops out at 26k.

I get a lotta messages from ocean conservation and marine biology types for this one. A customer last summer used the 4.55-inch on a navy canvas tote they sold at a beach cleanup fundraiser event. Said it sold out before the event ended. Honestly thats the best kind of feedback you can get.

Stitch on black, navy or dark teal fabric for maximum impact, the blue body shading really pops on dark grounds. Works on white or cream too if you want a lighter feel. Canvas totes, denim jackets, fleece hoodies and cotton sweatshirts all take this cleanly. Use cutaway stabiliser on denim and fleece, tearaway on woven cotton. Keep the hoop tension even because the long body fill needs smooth backing or ya get puckering along the belly seam.
