The ball is dropping clean through the hoop with an enormous paint-splash exploding out behind it, orange and cornflower blue panels on the ball itself, and then great big blobs of lime green, coral pink, golden yellow radiating out like a firework went off at centre court. Its the kind of design that reads from across the gym, not something you have to squint at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch-wise this is proper complex work. The net alone is a lattice of dense white fill that has to sit right or it looks messy, so use a cutaway stabiliser underneath - dont skimp on that. I digitised each colour panel in the splash with directional tatami fill so the segments catch light differently and it all has depth instead of going flat. There are 5 sizes from the 3.5 inch all the way to 7.5 inch, and the 7.5 sits gorgeous across the back panel of a jersey or a kit bag. Stitch counts run high, up around 51000 at full size, so load a fresh bobbin before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI get messages from sports mums asking if this runs clean on fleece - yes, hooped tight with a firm cutaway, the satin panels stay sharp. Last week a coach put the 5-inch version on twelve fleece hoodies for her under-14 squad and the kids went absolutely mad for it. Hoop tight and use a tear-away topping if the fleece pile is thick so the satin edge on the ball doesent fuzz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePop it on canvas tote bags for the team store, or on denim jacket backs for the older players. The 3.5 inch works well centered on a cap crown without crowding the brim. Add an underlay pass before the splash colours or the coral and green can bleed into each other on lighter fabric - the digitising has underlay built in but on jersey or twill just double-check your sewing order in the colour sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick a dark background fabric, navy twill or black cotton, and those splash colours hit like neon. Iron-on tearaway can work for caps and lighter cotton but anything with stretch needs cutaway, theres no shortcut there or the net distorts on the hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoller at me if the stitch order needs reworking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46429340696726,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ColorSplashBasketballEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1782125256","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/color-splash-basketball","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
