Moose Head Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Moose head, face on, wide antlers spreading to each edge -- single colour, single thread, and a very particular kind of outdoorsy confidence about it. The build spans 9 sizes between 3.5 and 7.5 inches wide with a proportional height up to 7.22 inches, so at full size the antlers really fill whatever space you give them. Stitch count opens at 9,734 on the smallest run, tops out at 18,998 on the largest. Density is 351 -- deliberately lean for a clean open-line read, the kind that doesnt get muddy on coarser fabrics.

I put a 6-inch piece on a heavyweight waxed canvas bag last winter and a customer who makes hunting gifts bought six copies in the same week. The outline at that size has real presence without feeling overworked. Tape a tearaway behind woven fabrics like canvas, linen, and cotton twill. On fleece or soft outerwear, switch to a medium-weight cutaway backer so the antler tips dont shift during the run. Hoop tight -- those branching antler points need to register cleanly from the start or theyll drift.

Started this in Wilcom and paid alot of attention to the antler split points where the branches divide. Thats where the stitches want to pile up if youre not careful, and Ive set the density low specifically to prevent that. Stitch on dark earthy backgrounds -- charcoal, forest green, olive, navy -- and the single-colour outline reads like a stamp. Works on rustic home decor, cabin-themed gifts, hunting and fishing apparel, and any nature-lover project where you want something genuinely simple.
