Designs in this collection

Small, quick and easy to recolour

Each design comes in four sizes: 3, 4, 5 and 7 inches, to fit 4x4, 5x7 and 6x10 hoops. Line art uses one main thread colour, black on light fabric or white on dark, with red for the balloons and dusty pink for the wilting flower petals.

All four include PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3 and XXX, plus a PDF with thread order and stitch counts.

Getting crisp lines

Thin running-stitch lines show every shift in the fabric, so hoop firmly and add a topper on fleece. Our guide on how to machine embroider a sweatshirt covers placement for a left-chest design.
