Deer Antlers with Crossed Rifles Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres a Deer Antlers with Crossed Rifles hunting badge at 6 sizes from 2.15 to 5.73 inches, single colour blaze orange thread throughout. Pair of multi-tine antlers spread wide across the top with the skull plate sitting beneath them, then two crossed rifles laid horizontally underneath forming the bottom half. Its built like an old-school deer camp patch you might find sewn to the back of a wool coat from the eighties.

Zero colour changes, the machine just runs straight through start to finish. Stitch range is 2,925 at from the chest 3.5 to 8,486 at the largest. Density is light at 185 which is exactly what youll want for this style, the rifle scopes and antler tines need negative space between em or the whole silhouette muddies up. I digitised it in embroidery software and used a fine directional satin underlay on the rifle barrels so theyll hold their line at smaller sizes, the antler tines use individual short satin columns that follow the curve of each point.

Whats really making this one work is the detail on the rifle stocks and scopes, you can read the trigger guards and the scope rings at 4 inch which most monochrome silhouettes lose. I rebuilt the antler portion twice before the tine spacing felt natural, real antlers dont fan out at a perfect angle, they twist a lil.

A customer messaged in october about stitching the 5 inch on the back of his sons first hunting jacket before opening day, said his boy wore it the whole season and got teased by every uncle at deer camp in a good way. Thats the audience here, dads and uncles and grandads.

Best on flannel, duck canvas, twill workshirts, fleece vests, or heavyweight cotton. Avoid lightweight stretchy fabric, the rifle lines need a firm surface or theyll curl. Use medium tearaway under canvas, mesh cutaway under any knit. Pair it with the blaze orange on charcoal or dark green flannel for the classic look, or swap to brown thread on tan canvas for a quieter version. Skip white thread on dark unless you bump the density up, the lines get thin. Message me if you want a camo-fill rebuild on the antler section, takes about a day and Ill send it across once done.
