Jumping Bass Fishing Line Art Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Largemouth bass breaking the water surface with its mouth wide open, a fishing lure hanging right off the lip. The fishing line curves up and out of frame and the fish itself is positioned on the upper half of a split-monogram frame, two horizontal bars below it leaving a name space. One colour, black, no fills, the whole fish body done in fine satin columns that actually follow the scale direction. Fins done separately with radiating stitches. Its a proper detailed illustration, not a flat silhouette.

I drafted this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio set to density 562, and the detail in the bass scales needs every bit of it. There are 4 sizes from 4.51 to 7.51 inches wide, and the heights run 4.48 to 7.45 inches so its nearly square in format. The 7.51-inch version clocks 31,430 stitches. The small 4.51-inch size runs 18,374 which is still dense for that size. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, the directional satin on the fish body wont sit right on tearaway. Hoop denim or canvas tight and check underlay first before running the main satin fills.

One customer sent me a message in november asking if this would work on camo fabric for a hunting and fishing jacket project. I told him camo is tricky with single-colour black because it can get lost in the pattern, he went with charcoal grey cotton instead and said it came out looking realy clean. Ive had alot of fishing designs go onto grey or navy backgrounds with great results. The scale detail in the fish reads best on plain fabrics where theres no competition from the base material.

Stitch this on navy cotton shirts, canvas bags, or denim jackets for anglers. Pop the name in the split frame for a personalised fishing gift. Works on charcoal grey fleece vests and black cotton aprons for fishing camp gear. Try on oatmeal canvas for a vintage illustration feel.
