Autumn Pumpkin Patch Embroidery Design, Fall Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

This is one I made for a customer who wanted a fall border design for a set of linen dish towels, and it turned out to be the most reused template in my autumn lineup. The layout is slim and wide, 4.49 inches across and 1.64 tall, thats exactly the proportion you need for a towel border, a bag top strip, or a yoke detail. Ten thousand, two hundred and eighty-six stitches across six colours, all digitised in the software I use at a fairly dense 217.

At density 217 the fill is rich and the colours blend into each other the way good harvest-palette designs should. Pair soft cutaway behind woven tablecloths and display items, the design wont be under mechanical stress the way a bag or garment would, and tearaway gives a cleaner backing finish on pieces you gift or hang. On cotton aprons or tote bags, go with a cutaway. The vine sections use a satin directional fill I ran at an angle to mimic actual leaf veining, it adds a nice texture without extra colour changes. Hoop the fabric on grain to keep the long horizontal from skewing. Stitch a test strip on scrap fabric first to check your density settings.

I get messages every september from people who've been using this for years on apron hems, on fall tote bags, across the waistband of harvest-theme table runners, and on the top edge of quilted place mats. It runs from early september right through november without looking too specifically halloween, which customers find useful when they want something seasonal but a bit more versatile. Pair it with a simple text design for a complete autumn kitchen set. Wash items inside-out on a gentle cycle so the satin vine columns dont catch on other laundry in the drum.
