Golfer Swing Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres a side-on golfer caught right at the bottom of the swing, club already out and the ball sitting on the tip. The whole thing is sketchy line art, single black thread, with the body and arms left as open negative space so the figure reads as motion instead of a solid silhouette. Im a sucker for designs that look like alot of fast pencil strokes turned into stitches and this one nails that feel without going overboard on density.

Stitch counts run from 9,763 at the 4-inch tall version up to 21,100 at the largest 8-inch size. So you're looking at 5 sizes total, all single colour black, no colour stops. Density runs around 469 which is on the higher side for a line-art piece because the sketchy overlap means alot of short strokes stacking up. I digitised it inside Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. The long club shaft gets directional satin and a proper underlay under the cap and shoulders so the line weight stays consistent on cotton twill, pique polo fabric, or denim.

One customer wrote me last summer asking if it would work on a left-chest polo and yes, the 4-inch size hoops fine in a 4x4 and reads crystal clear from a few metres. She did it on a navy pique polo with white thread instead of black and it popped beautifully. The negative space inside the figure is what makes it work on a darker fabric so dont try to fill it in.

Best on light or mid-tone cotton, pique polos, canvas, denim, and lighter fleece. Use medium cutaway behind any knit. Skip terry cloth and high-pile fleece because the open sketch lines need a firm surface to register without bleeding. Pop a layer of topping on anything with a visible weave so the satin columns sit clean on top. Hit me up if your machine throws a thread break on the long jumps and ill swap the file for one with extra trims.
