Deer in Forest Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Deer in a forest scene, 5 colours and nine sizes. The stag stands dead centre, antlers spread wide, surrounded by tall pine silhouettes that get lighter as they move back into the scene. Ground fog at the base stitches in a near-ivory tone that fades up into the darker treeline, and that layered depth is what makes it look like a proper painting rather than a flat graphic.

Density sits at 994 across the design, highest in the foreground pine trunks and the buck itself where you want solid coverage on darker fabrics. Smallest run is 16,621 stitches at 2.44 inches wide, biggest comes in at 38,997 stitches at 5.23 inches, which is a decent chunk of thread but it lays flat and the directional fill on the wildlife figure really rewards the runtime.

One customer ordered the 5-inch version for a black wool hunting jacket last november and the ivory fog base lifted beautifully off the dark wool. She sent me a message after and said the bobbin tension was the only tricky part on the heavier fabric, which is fair. Wool grabs differently. So heavy cutaway underneath is the go-to here, hoop nice and snug and ease the rpm on the fog section where the density drops.

Cotton twill or canvas in dark navy, charcoal, or forest green makes this woodland design pop. Light or mid fabrics work too but ya lose that misty feel because the fog stitches dont have a dark ground to lift against. Avoid knit, 38k stitches on jersey will pull the design sideways. Use a topping on any textured base fabric to keep the satin outlines on the pine trunks crisp.

my embroidery software digitised the underlay with directional stitching across the nature scene so everything holds its shape from wash to wash. Drop me a note in the shop chat if the colours read off on a different fabric weight and ill adjust the layering for ya.
