Always My Mother Forever My Friend Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Always My Mother Forever My Friend in 5 sizes and 2 colours. The whole design is built around that elegant swash calligraphy style where each letter has long entering and exiting strokes that spiral out into loops at the end of each line. Always sits at the top in black, my Mother sits below it in hot pink, Forever comes next in black and my Friend closes it at the bottom in pink again. Alternating black and pink like that keeps the eye moving down through all 4 lines without it feeling like a flat block of text.

Between each line theres a looping connector flourish, like a stylised infinity symbol stretched wide, and open heart outlines sit at the ends of some strokes as finishing accents. Nothing filled in, just the outline of the hearts which keeps the overall feel light and flowing rather than heavy. The whole composition sits in a roughly square area which makes it flexible for cushions, wall art and garment placement alike.

2 colours, 1 colour change, 25 trims on the largest 5-inch size. Stitch count is 12,261 at the 4-inch size up to 24,669 at the full 8 inches, which is reasonable for what youre getting. The satin columns in the thick letter strokes are the densest sections. embroidery software digitised and my customers have told me the satin stroke quality on the calligraphy letters is noticeably clean when it comes off the machine.

White or cream fabric is where this one lives. A cream linen throw pillow cover or a soft white muslin scarf are both great homes for it. Skip busy printed fabric because the detailed calligraphy strokes need a plain background to read. Use a stabiliser suited to your fabric weight, a standard cutaway for stretch or fleece, light tearaway for quilting cotton and woven linen.

Hoop carefully because the long swash strokes dont forgive a loose hoop. Dm me if you hit any issue and Ill turn it around fast.
