Christmas Monster Truck Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two reindeer in the cab driving a black pickup that sits on four giant tyres with bright green rims. The truck bed loaded with a dark green christmas tree tied down with red baubles and a wrapped gift with white ribbon on top. Got the brief from a customer asking for monster truck plus christmas in one design because her son was begging her, so I sat down and drew it in december last year and the kid apparently lost his mind over it. The boy approved version.

This one runs heavier on the machine. Stitch count goes from 24,154 at the smallest 2.94-inch width up to 60,311 at the largest 6.29-inch, density sits at 1,277 which is right at the top of the range I push. Eight colours total, eight thread stops, biggest blocks are the black bodywork at 11,448 stitches and the white at 9,252 across windows highlights and ribbon. I digitised in my embroidery software and theres directional satin on the tyre tread with sketched line interior, so the rubber actually reads as rubber not a flat blob.

Use heavy cutaway with this one, no shortcuts. The dense fills will pull stretchy fabrics into a pucker if youre not stabilised properly, dont skip the topping on terry or fleece. The 6.29-inch size needs at least a 7-inch hoop and a sturdy stabiliser. I get message every couple weeks from someone running this on a kid hoodie wanting to know about size, and the 4-inch is the sweet spot for chest, the 6-inch for back yoke.

Skip thin cotton, the truck reads heavy and the fabric cant hold it. Best on canvas duck, sweatshirt fleece with heavy cutaway, denim, twill, or canvas tote. Cream and grey and red grounds all work, navy is great too. Pop a layer of cap backing on caps because the tyre satin sinks fast otherwise. Email me if your machine throws a snag on the larger sizes, I rework files within a day usually.
