Whale Breaching at Sunset Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Dark, bold ocean scene and honestly one of my favourites in the whole catalogue. Humpback whale coming up hard out of flat dark sea water, body about half-airborne, the whole silhouette going black against that huge gold sun behind it. The sun has long radiating spoke rays fanning out in every direction and theres white dot stars scattered across the upper corners. Four colours total. Just navy-black, golden amber, pale blue for the waterline reflections, and four white star dots. High contrast does all the work and it does it well.

Width runs from 3.21 inches up to 6.07 across but the height range goes from 4.5 up to 8.5 inches so ya have alot of vertical composition to work with. Nine sizes, small pocket badge up to a large back panel. I sell this one to a whale watch tour outfit and they order in batches every summer, last july they came back for their third batch and told me customers are suprised every time because it looks screenprinted rather than embroidered. Thats what four-colour design does on black fabric.

Use this on black exclusively or near-black navy. The entire dramatic effect depends on the whale and marine water silhouettes blending into a dark base so only the sun and stars read as light. On cream or pale fabric the impact collapses completely and theres no recovering it. Black denim, black canvas, black fleece, black jersey. All work well. Pick the 3.21-inch for a left-chest or cap front, run the 6-inch on a hoodie chest or tote face, use the 8.5-inch height version on a tee back panel where its got room to fill the space properly.

Stitch at a medium speed, the long straight radiating rays on the sun need steady tension to run clean without wavering. Density is 39k max so a firm tearaway handles most woven fabrics fine. Use cutaway on stretch jersey.

Text me if the sun rays dont stitch clean on your first run and ill check the underlay settings for ya.
