Deer Antler Mountain Scene Embroidery Design, Instant Download

So this one came out of a request I kept seeing from hunting-themed shop customers. The antlers form a wide arch, almost like a window, and inside that window theres a whole mountain scene packed in. Tallest pines on either side, jagged snow-capped peaks rising from the centre, and four birds caught mid-flight above the treeline. The deer head silhouette anchors the base where the two antlers meet at the brow tine.

The way its structured, the internal elements use negative-space cutouts against the antler fill, so the trees and mountains read as their own separate layer. my software handles that kind of complex silhouette-within-silhouette really well because it lets you define separate stitch regions for each layer without them fighting each other. The outer antler edge runs in dense satin to hold the shape clean, the internal pine shapes use a directional tatami fill so each tree has a slight grain running toward the tip.

Five sizes from 2.29 by 3.51 inches up to 4.88 by 7.51. And its a single colour design so swapping thread is zero drama. Stitch count runs from 8,551 on the small to 20,075 on the large, density sitting at 548 per square inch which is solid for that amount of detail without going stiff on the fabric. But dont hoop too loose or the fine cutout edges between the trees will drift and blur.

Customers have been putting the large size on the back of canvas hunting jackets and it just sits right at the shoulder blades. Also works well on heavy cotton tote bags, outdoor cushions, fleece blankets, cabin throw pillows. Back in october I had a customer order the 4.88-inch version specifically for a hunting season jacket and she said it got more comments than anything else on the gear. If youre doing a patch on thick outerwear, use a firm tearaway or cutaway and stitch slow on the antler outline first pass. Pair it with a dark thread colour on olive or charcoal fabric for a proper outdoors look. Skip lighter background fabrics if youre doing outerwear, the design needs a dark ground to really hit.
