Jumping Fish Splash Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Bass fishing embroidery. The largemouth is in full jump, body curved up and to the right, mouth open, tail still dripping. A wide fan of spray kicks out to the left at the base of the leap, flat turquoise and light blue sections with white foam streaks running through em. Nine thread colours: turquoise, a second blue-green, yellow for the belly stripe, orange along the jaw line, two shades of forest green for the back and dorsal section, sand, khaki for the lateral shading, and white. 10 colour changes total, so ya need to be ready to swap thread eleven times through the run.

Stitch count runs from 23,406 on the smallest size up to 33,134 on the 7.48-inch, which is a proper chunk of work for a dense fill. The bass body uses directional stitching to follow the curve of the scales and the lateral line, its what gives it that rounded three-dimensional look in thread. The splash sections are tatami fill at different angles so the light hits em separately. Density sits at 1,014, on the heavier side. I get messages from customers asking if their machine can handle this one and honestly if its rated for standard embroidery fabrics itll be fine, just use cutaway and ease the speed.

3 sizes only, all taller than wide: 3.21 by 5.50 inches, 3.79 by 6.48 and 4.37 by 7.48. Portrait orientation. Put em on shirt chests, hat panels or bag pockets. Avoid wide-format left-chest placement on a jacket lapel because the portrait crop looks wrong there. Stitch on dark navy, black, olive or charcoal for max colour contrast. The turquoise pops hardest against a dark base and the yellow belly stripe really shows. Skip white or pale fabric here because the light blue foam sections wash out completely. Theres basically no version of this design that looks good on white. One customer last october ordered twenty of the medium size for a fishing tournament prize tee and said it looked great on black jersey, cant argue with that.

Use cutaway stabiliser, full stop. Dense tatami fill and directional body stitching both need proper cutaway backing or you get puckering on the lower area. Hoop the fabric firmly, ease speed for the directional body pass, and check your bobbin thread between colour stops. Message me if something stitches funny and ill take a look at the file for ya.
