Fishing Bass Line Art Embroidery Design, Angler Gift, Instant Download

Big largemouth bass mid-jump, red thread on white cotton, and its got that red-ink woodcut print look. The fish is coming up hard, mouth wide open, dorsal fin spread out, tail pushing down behind it. You can see the scale texture stitched in across the body and the gill plate detail is sharp even at 4 inches. The whole thing sits inside a circular border made from a curved fishing rod and line, with the rod tip and reel at the edges. Classic bass tournament trophy but done in line-art red instead of the usual patches you see.

I digitised this one with a proper directional stitch pass on the scales so each row follows the natural curvature of the fish body. The fill isnt just a flat satin block. Customers tell me it looks like something off a vintage fishing lodge sign, which is exactly the vibe I was going for when I drew it up last spring.

Six sizes from 4 inch up to 9 inch, stitch counts running from about 17,500 at the small end up to nearly 40,000 on the 9-inch. Thats a dense design so use a proper cutaway stabiliser on any woven fabric, it needs that solid backing or the scale fill sections will lift at the edges. Hoop the fabric drum-tight. The 91 trim sequence at 4 inches climbs to 114 by 6 inches, so dont rush the cleanup.

Red on white or cream gives you that vintage sportfishing look. Red on navy or black goes full tournament-patch energy. Skip anything with a busy pattern or mid-tone colour underneath, the single colour fill needs contrast to show the scale detail. Works on canvas totes, fishing caps, camp shirts and jacket backs.
