Football and Tennis are the two common sports themes that have been used by embroiderers the world over. Tennis appliques make cute attractive designs on a T-shirt. Both the racquet and the ball – together or separate – can be embroidered in bright colours.
Check out this collection at Starbird. It gives a wide range of tennis embroidery designs. Some of them are beautiful like the yellow tennis ball you see next to this post. These are all applique embroidery designs and they can be done in zig zag fashion or the satin style.
Here are some basic tips on buying applique embroidery designs.
These tennis embroidery designs are done in a special style of applique called tackle-twill digitizing service. This is done by using pressure sensitive adhesive (unlike the spray cans of adhesive normally used). One needs to only peel off the back and press the applique piece at the exact place of the master cloth. The tennis embroidery stuck in this manner stands out in the T-shirt or master cloth and gives a good finish.
