Auntie Word Art Embroidery Design, Retro Groovy Typography, Instant Download

Drew up this one after I kept getting requests for auntie gifts that werent just a plain script. The design stacks AUNTIE three times in this chunky retro groovy font, each row a lil bit wider and bolder than the one above it, so the whole thing has this pyramid-ish weight to it. The letters have thick rounded outlines, the kind you see on 70s band tees, and the fill is solid satin with tight directional underlay so the black thread really pops against light fabric.

And theres a small solid heart stitched right at the bottom corner of the last row. Its not big, doesnt take over, just sits there. Alot of customers end up using it as the focal point of a gift piece without needing anything else around it.

I get messages from people saying they hooped it on a 4-inch hoop for a pocket placement and it came out clean at the smaller sizes. Five sizes ranging 2.07 inches wide to the biggest at 7.5 in, stitch count from 8,564 up to 20,880 depending on which you pick. Digitised in embroidery software, Tajima format, runs with 11 trims and zero colour changes. Use a firm woven like canvas or denim, and pop a soft cutaway behind fleece to keep the dense satin from pulling on the bobbin side. Stitch a test on scrap first if its going onto a structured bag or cap front, the letter spacing holds tighter when the base fabric doesnt shift. Skip light tearaway on anything structural, the stitch count at the larger sizes is alot to ask of tearaway and itll shift. Last week I had someone ask about running the largest 7.51-inch size across a full tote front panel and yes, it fills the space without needing any other elements around it.
