Volleyball Embroidery Design, Sports Machine Embroidery Pattern

This volleyball design does exactly what a ball design should do: looks like the actual thing. The round shape breaks into the curved panel sections you'd recognise from any court, with white satin filling the main body panels, a yellow curved panel on one side, and a darker navy section on another. The black seam lines between each panel run as clean satin columns so they read crisp at any size. Its simple, well proportioned, and recogniseable even at the 1 inch size.

Six sizes total, ranging from 1 inch all the way up to 4 inches square. Stitch counts start at about 2,400 for the small size and climb to 16,000 for the full 4 inch version. Four thread colours needed: white, yellow, dark blue, and black. At the larger sizes the satin density is high, so the ball has a satisfying raised look when stitched out on cotton. I get messages from volleyball moms every August asking if it comes in smaller sizes for bags, which is why I kept all 6 size options in.

Stitch this on medium weight cotton, canvas, or polyester blend. Use cutaway stabiliser for stretch fabrics like team jerseys. For bags and caps try tearaway or a topping over slippery surfaces. Skip very thin fabrics because the fill at larger sizes can cause the fabric to gather.

Pop it on a sports bag, a cap, or a team gift tote. Email me if the file doesnt open correctly and Ill send you a replacement right away.
