Spider-Man Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drew up this one as a proper crouching Spider-Man, low to the ground with both arms stretched out wide and fingers spread like hes about to launch a web. The pose is the classic comic book sneak that anyone who grew up reading Marvel will recognise straight away. The mask eyes are the oversized white lenses with that angled intensity that makes Spidey look serious even in a small embroidered version.

6 colours in the design: dark red, red, blue, white, black and dark blue. The web lines across the suit are done with fine black satin columns so they actually look like a mesh, not just printed on. Directional stitching on the torso follows the muscle lines which gives it that three dimensional quality. Stitch counts run from 9,215 at 4 inches up to 21,613 at the full 8 inch size. 5 sizes total.

Because theres 6 colour stops you want a good dense cutaway stabiliser underneath, especially on stretch fabrics like jersey. This design has high density at around 568 stitches per inch in the main torso, so the underlay needs to be solid. I dont recommend linen or loose weave fabrics for this one, stick to cotton twill, denim, canvas or fleece where the stabiliser can do its job properly.

Ping me a quick note if you want to swap any of the colours. A customer last month asked me to swap the blue panels for black and I walked em through it, works great for a noir version of the design.

Best results on dark navy, charcoal or white backgrounds where the red and blue colours really pop against the fabric. Skip dark fabric for the colour pop. Pop a firm cutaway behind stretch knits.
