Apple with Bow Embroidery Design, Instant Download

So this is a plump red apple done in proper cartoon style with a thick black outline holding it all together. The apple body shades from a bright red across the belly into a deeper crimson on the right side, with a tall white shine streak running down the left to give it that polished look. A curved brown stem sticks up from the top, one little green leaf curves off it, and the centrepiece is the big buttery yellow ribbon bow tied right where the stem meets the fruit.

Twelve thread colours sit in this one. The bow alone uses three yellows for the folds and shadows, the apple uses bright red over dark red for the contour, and theres a touch of orange near the top of the apple where the colour catches light. Black does most of the heavy linework around the leaf and the bow loops.

I get bunch of orders for this one in the autumn term, mums sewing it onto teacher gift bags and lil pencil pouches. One customer last september ordered it five times in one weekend, she runs a school stall and was stitching the larger 4 by 5 size onto canvas totes for the kindy teachers.

Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser with this, the density runs near 980 stitches per square inch and youll want the support. Hoop tight, slow the machine down on the dark red layer because that section overlaps abit. Skip thin t-shirt cotton, the design wants something with body, canvas or linen or twill all sit beautifully under it.

Ping the shop if you have any colour-matching questions, ive got the exact thread codes from the digitising file and can send em over.
