Flaming Tiger Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The tiger is front-facing, dead centre, with that full snarl expression and each stripe digitised as its own directional satin section to get the fur depth right. Then flames wrap the whole head, the kind of stylised pointed flames you see on old-school tattoo flash art, curling up from the base and licking around the ear tips. Ten colours total, density hitting 1,318 which is genuinely high, so the finished piece has real weight and texture to it. Thats what separates this from a budget file where its all just flat fill.

Stitch count runs from 26,686 at 3.51 inches reaching 74,326 at the full 7.51-inch square build. A customer ordered this for a custom bomber jacket back panel last winter and I told him he needed a heavy cutaway stabiliser and to hoop his jacket body flat with the lining pulled out of the way. He came back saying the flame edges were sharp and the tiger face held every stripe clearly on the black satin shell. Run the 7-inch on a proper jacket or bag back where the stitch count justifies the time. Dm me if something goes sideways in the setup and Ill talk through the stabiliser stack with you.

Back your base fabric with cutaway before hooping, dont try this on a tearaway because at density 1,318 the fabric needs proper anchoring. Best on dark base colours, black denim, black canvas, or charcoal fleece where the orange and amber really pop. Add a light layer of water-soluble topping on any brushed or napped fabric to keep the satin edges clean. Avoid light-coloured backgrounds unless you want the flame fill to read as orange-on-pale, which can look washed out at the smaller sizes.
