Baby Dragon Outline Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drew up this one as a single-colour outline and Im glad I did, its probably the most versatile dragon in the shop. No fill, just a clean black running-stitch outline with internal detail lines for the scales, hair tuft, wing veins, and claws. Sits in that coloring-book style where the design reads from 10 feet away but still has all the character up close. One big round eye with a highlight dot, a little spiky fringe on top of the head, rounded ear fins, and a curled tail with scale markings.

One colour, 5 sizes from 3.01 by 2.86 inches up to 7.01 by 6.65 inches, stitch count goes from around 8,500 stitches at the smallest to 20,262 at the largest. Density is 435 stitches per square inch, which is light and fast, most customers report under 20 minutes on the big size. Digitised in my main software so the outline paths are smooth and dont have those jagged corners you get with auto-digitised outlines.

Because its a pure outline it works on literally anything: dark denim, bright cotton, black felt, coloured fleece. A customer last autumn put the medium on a dusty rose linen tote and stitched it in white thread instead of black and it looked like a vintage stamp. Thats the trick with this design, the thread colour is yours to pick and the whole thing changes. Try gold on dark navy, cream on sage, red on white. Use it as a base and add a name block below in a coordinating font.

Runs fast on tearaway stabiliser, it doesnt need cutaway for most woven fabrics. Float dont hoop delicate items, the outline pulls less than dense fills so floating works well here. Tighten your top tension abit for smooth outline runs and avoid loosely woven fabric the needle holes show too much with just outline stitching. Pick a fresh needle before you start, a blunt tip on running stitch leaves a rougher hole and the outline loses its crisp line.

Email me the handle if it looks jagged on your machine, I can check the path nodes.
