Hunter Deer Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Compound bow hunter in full draw position, facing right, 5 sizes from 3.5 inches wide up to 7.5 inches. The clever part is the open cutout inside the hunter body shape: a standing white deer and bare branching antler tree are left open in the solid fill, so the fabric colour shows through and reads as a second element. The compound bow on the left has the actual pulley system outlined, not just a stick shape. Below the figure runs a row of mountain peaks and pine trees.

Single colour throughout, stitch count from 11,225 to 28,931. The pulls were balanced in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with proper satin underlay on the outer body fill and the cutout edges are clean hard stops so the deer inside stays white against whatever fabric youre stitching on. Density at 604, medium range, handles itself fine on most fabrics.

Place cutaway stabiliser under fleece or jersey. Tearaway on canvas or denim works fine, the design isnt so heavy itll pop the perforations. Add topping on any textured surface so the satin columns dont sink. Skip dark fabric on this design, that open window only reads well on light colours like cream cotton, white jersey or light tan canvas.

People ask me a lot whether the deer cutout detail survives at the small 3.5 inch size, and honestly it holds up better than you'd expect. A customer ordered the 4-inch version on a cream canvas cooler bag last hunting season and it looked sharp. Stitch it on light fabric and youll see what I mean.
