Colorful Stallion Mane Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Ive sold a bunch of these over the years and the teal-gold-black color combination is the reason people keep coming back. Teal body, golden-yellow face, cream mane with curling tips, heavy black outline. It reads at distance like a vintage graphic-art poster, not like a standard horse portrait. The mane doesnt just hang flat, it has those decorative spiral curls at the ends that give the whole thing a bit of movement even when its stitched flat on fabric.

9 sizes going from 3.13 inches wide up to 6.70 wide, stitch counts run from 12,906 at the smallest through to 32,983 on the largest file. 4 colors, 3 color changes, 106 trims on the small size. Density sits at 659, which keeps the teal fill saturated without the fabric buckling. Choose mid-weight cutaway on knit or fleece. On woven cotton or denim a medium tearaway works, but lean toward cutaway if the mane area is landing on any stretch seam. Keep your top thread tension consistent through the teal-to-gold color change along the cheek line or you'll get a gap showing. Skip a topping on smooth wovens, you only need it on terry or heavy fleece.

And its not just equestrian people buying this one. Last autumn I had a run of orders from western and country-style shops putting the 5-6 inch range on vest backs and trucker caps. The palette works really well on dark navy or black fabric, the yellow face practically glows. Someone ran it on a black duck tote and shared a picture, it genuinely looked like something you'd pay good money for in a boutique.
