Tiger Head Embroidery Design, Wildlife Machine Embroidery Pattern

Drew this one looking at old woodblock prints mixed with alot of tattoo flash reference, and I think thats what makes it land differently from the usual tiger designs. Three colors: orange, white, and a cool dusty blue accent. Two color changes, so its a manageable stitch-out even at the bigger sizes. The face fills the hoop front-on, totally symmetrical, orange satin stitching doing the heavy lifting across the forehead and cheeks while white thread carves out the facial stripes and chest fur underneath.

The light blue-grey fronds around the edges remind me more of decorative botanical work than a straight animal portrait, which gives the whole thing an unexpected feel. The 7.49 inch version is where the detail opens up nicely. You can see the individual stripe markings and the texture difference between the satin-filled orange sections and the more open white areas. One customer wanted this for a large tote bag they were making as a gift, and they said it came out cleaner than they expected on the first try. And honestly, that tracks with most people who stitch this one.

Stitch range goes from 13,771 at the smallest up to 39,386 at the largest. Hoop with a medium-weight cutaway behind any stretch fabric. Skip the topping on stable wovens like denim or canvas since it sits really flat without much fuss there. Use a topping sheet over terry cloth or fleece to stop the pile eating the stitches.
