Rub Some Dirt On It Baseball Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Worked up this one around the old coach saying thats been around every baseball diamond for decades. The text is chunky varsity-style lettering, thick satin fill, with a baseball element alongside or below it. Its assertive and readable at most sizes. Two colours total, one for the text and one for the accent element.

5 sizes from 3.51 inches up to 7.51 inches wide. Stitch counts run from 7,098 stitches at the smallest up to 16,553 stitches on the full version. Density at 320, mid-level. The thick satin lettering needs a solid cutaway stabiliser on any fabric that moves or stretches, and even stable wovens benefit from cutaway here because the letters are wide and dense. Use an underlay pass on anything textured, youll see the difference immediately in how the letters sit.

In my experience, people buying this are coaches, parents or sports shops doing batch runs for little league and travel teams. One customer last spring recieved a large order for 25 coach shirts and she picked this one because it felt like something youd actually wear to practice, not a generic slogan. I love seeing those kinds of orders come through. Dont overthink the colour, navy on white or red on grey both work really well.

Stitch it on cotton twill polos or heavy cotton tees for best results. Avoid thin jersey for the large sizes because the satin fill density can cause puckering if the stabiliser isnt right. Tough and bold. Done.
