Skeleton Hand Peace Sign Embroidery Design, Gothic Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Peace sign done by a skeleton hand, single colour, 4 sizes from 4 to 7 inches. Index and middle fingers extend upward and spread wide while the other fingers curl back, and inside each finger section you can see the individual bone segments and joint lines drawn in. Theres more internal detail on this one than the thumbs up variant because the spread fingers show off more knuckle surface area. Density is 575 and the stitch count goes from 8,425 at the smallest to 16,048 at 7 inches, so its sitting in medium territory compared to simpler skeleton hand builds.

Heavy cutaway stabiliser is your friend on this one. Im not kidding about it, at density 575 on a knit fabric without proper backing youll get distortion on those fine bone-segment lines and the whole thing reads muddy. Press the stabiliser flat before hooping, make sure theres no stretch in your hoop setup, and the satin work on the finger bones will come out sharp. Best on denim, twill, or structured canvas where the fabric doesnt move.

A customer running a small gothic boutique ordered a batch of these last autumn, all at 6 inches on black denim jacket back yoke areas, and the detail in the joint lines genuinely impressed people who looked at the work close up. Folks doing gothic or alternative fashion stuff tend to notice when the bone detail isnt compromised. Add a water-soluble film on any textured surface to stop the needle catching and pulling the fine fill lines sideways.

Run it at 5 inches on a tote bag front or a hoodie chest for a clean statement piece. Skip pale pastel fabrics, this one wants contrast to show the internal bone structure properly. Pair it with white thread on black cotton for the strongest read.
