Golfer Swing Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Alot of golf designs out there are too clean. This one isnt. Its a side-profile silhouette of a golfer at the top of his 5-inch backswing in black thread, club drawn back behind the shoulder, weight rocked onto the trailing leg, the whole figure built out of scribbled crossing satin lines instead of solid fill. Reads like a quick pencil sketch from a pro shop coaching board, not a stock clipart icon.

Single colour, black thread only. So you load one cone and the machine runs it through start to finish with no colour stops to babysit. Stitch count climbs from 5,293 at the smallest 3-inch height up to 15,345 at the 5-inch height, and the largest hoop fits a 7.01-inch width which is enough to fill a polo back yoke. Density sits at 440 which is medium-heavy because the hatching needs the coverage to read as a silhouette rather than a wireframe. I digitised it in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with directional underlay on the trouser legs so the shading angles dont collapse on stretch knits.

One customer ordered it for a fathers day gift last June and stitched the 4-inch size onto a charcoal pique polo for her dads club tournament. She used a layer of cutaway behind the knit and topping on top, which is the move because the criss-cross lines will sink into pique without topping. Heres the catch with hatched silhouettes like this one, dont go smaller than the 3-inch size or the open spaces between the scribble lines start collapsing into a black blob.

Best on smooth cotton twill, pique knits, canvas duck, denim, or oxford cloth in lighter colours where the black thread pops. Skip thin tee jersey unless you double the stabiliser and hoop with mesh cutaway. And avoid loose-weave linen with the largest 7-inch version, the long jump stitches across the club shaft will pull the weave.
