Jumping Bass Fish Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The bass is caught right at the moment it launches out of the water, body curved in that tight arc with the tail kicked up high and the mouth wide open. You can see the lateral stripe running the length of its body, that classic dark green-black band that makes a largemouth bass immediately recognisable. Below it theres a hint of silver-green on the belly and a couple of water ripple lines to anchor it. Seven colours total: olive green, dark forest green, silver grey, white, black, and 2 mid-tones for the belly shading.

Wilcom did the digitising with proper directional stitching along the scales so the body actually reads like a fish, not just a flat coloured shape. The fins use satin column stitching and the shading transitions use a tatami fill that blends cleanly. Stitch count goes from 27k at 3.4 inches wide up to 64k at the full 7.27 inch size. Thats a dense stitch count at the top end, so cutaway stabiliser is the right call here, dont switch to tearaway for the big sizes.

Ping me if ya need help with a colour swap or want the fish facing the other direction. I get a bunch of requests for mirrored versions from people making matching sets for couples fishing shirts, and I can sort that easily. Last summer I had someone order 3 different bass designs for a fishing club jacket and this one was the favourite because the leap looks so dynamic on a back panel.

Pop it on navy, charcoal, or forest green cotton for the most natural look. The silver and white tones in the fish really come out against those darker backgrounds. Try it on a fishing vest, a canvas tote, or a twill cap. For caps you'll want to pick one of the 9 smaller sizes, the 3.4 to 4.5 inch range fits most standard hat hoops without crowding.

Works on denim and fleece aswell but hoop carefully on fleece because the pile can shift under the foot. Use a topping layer to keep the stitches from sinking in.
