Tribal Red & Black Scorpion Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This scorpion is all attitude. Claws up, tail arched high, the whole thing built from thick black satin fills with red fire licking up from underneath. The flame shapes arent just decoration either, theyre woven right into the body outline so it looks like the scorpion is burning from the inside. Alot of tribal scorpion designs I see look flat and stiff but this one has movement.

2 colours: Black body with Red flame work, 1 colour change. Nine sizes wait, thats wrong, there are 5 sizes in the file, beginning with the pocket size reaching 3.51 inches square and topping out at 7.51 by 7.50 inches at the largest. Stitch counts run from 20,816 to 49,742. Density sits at 883 so its a bit lighter than you might expect and stitches out fast without stiffening the garment underneath.

Hoop a firm cutaway stabiliser and youre good. The black sections are the densest, especially around the claw joints and the tail curl, so dont skimp on the backing. Light-coloured stabiliser can peek through on loosely woven fabrics so stick with the colour that matches your base cloth.

Stitched this on a black gym vest last month for a customer, the 5-inch version, and it came out clean with really sharp satin edges on the claw outlines. That version sits at around 27,000 stitches which machines eat through no problem.

Sketched up for dark and heavy fabrics mostly. Centre-back placement on a biker vest at the 6-inch size gives you the most impact if youre going bold.
