Realistic Tarantula Spider Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drew inspiration from entomology illustration for this one. The tarantula is shown from above, legs spread wide, eight legs radiating out from a broad dark body. The bristle work is what makes this one land right, individual hair lines run along each leg segment so it looks properly hairy rather than a flat dark shape. The abdomen has lighter marking detail across the top surface and there are fine web strand lines drawn underneath the body section adding real depth.

Two colours, a deep charcoal black and an off-white for the bristle highlights and web details. Stitch count runs from 8,111 at the 3.3 inch size up to 18,966 at 7 inches across 5 sizes. Density is 359 so its not a heavy stitch count, the machine will move through it comfortably. Back it with a tearaway stabiliser on stable woven fabrics like cotton twill or canvas. Use cutaway if youre putting it on fleece or any stretch knit, those fabrics wont hold the leg hair detail properly otherwise.

I get a steady stream of orders for this one in September and October for halloween gear, but its bought all year by spider enthusiasts, insect art fans and biology students. Customers are stitching it on black tee fronts, jacket sleeves, backpacks, halloween tote bags. The 5-in build on a black cotton shirt sleeve looks particularly good. Skip light pastel fabric, the dark design needs a mid to dark base or the contrast is lost.

Any problem with the files just get in touch and Ill have it sorted.
