{"product_id":"catfish-embroidery","title":"Catfish Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig catfish, dark background. I built this design specifically for dark fabric because the product photo shows it on black and thats genuinely how it looks best. Deep cobalt blue body fading down to a lighter teal at the sides, cream-tan underbelly, fan of long barbels spread out from the jaw. The dorsal fin has tight satin ray lines running through it and the whole silhouette has real weight to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix colours and done efficiently. Body shading stacks cobalt over teal over navy in directional fills that follow the fish contour so it looks rounded not flat. The barbels run as long thin satin columns which is tricky to digitise cleanly and my main software got it right here. Each fin section has its own ray detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amber eye sits as a small tight circle but catches the light if you use a slightly shiny thread. Stitch count lands around 42k for 7.5 across size which is honest work for a fish this detailed. Catfish is a niche subject and the people who want it, really want it. I sell this one alot to catfish tournament and fishing club merch makers, fishing guide services for tee shirts and hat embroidery, and anglers who want a specific species design thats not the generic trout or bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne customer told me they used it on a set of tournament staff polos and the other anglers kept asking where they got em. Send me message if you need the catfish facing the other direction, I can flip it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch on black, charcoal or deep navy fabric. The blue body disappears on lighter grounds so dont waste it on white. Back it with crisp cutaway behind on the largest sizes. The barbel columns are delicate on small sizes so keep tension consistent and slow the machine a touch. Pop the 5-inch on a black cotton cap crown or the 6-inch on a fleece vest chest. Avoid glossy fabric, the matte fills look wrong on shiny polyester.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46390685335702,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CatfishEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1779250376","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/catfish-embroidery","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
