Baking Is My Therapy Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The phrase Baking Is My Therapy stacked across three lines with mixed fonts. Baking up top in bold black serif letters with a lil curling tail off the g. The middle line reads is my in red brush script, flanked on the left by a small red cupcake icon and on the right by a wooden roller and a wire whisk. Therapy across the bottom in flowing black calligraphy with a decorative underline scroll, and tiny black hearts dotted around the edges. Reads warm, reads fun, lands the joke.

2 thread colours total. Black at 6,742 stitches handles the chunky serif top and the calligraphy bottom. Red at 2,175 stitches covers the middle script and the cupcake icon, the rolling pin and whisk stay black. 5 sizes from 2.73 inches wide at 8,919 stitches up to 5.85 inches wide at 20,546 stitches. Density runs at 468, mid-range, which is what ya want for chunky letters on cotton and linen without puckering. Heres the secret. I digitised this in my workhorse software with proper directional satin columns on the bold serif Baking, so it stitches plump and rounded not flat.

My friend ordered the 4-inch version for her mums valentines day apron last february, the red script popped beautifully against a cream linen background. Shes since gifted it to two other baking mums in her circle. The 3-inch fits a left-chest pocket on a kitchen smock. The 5-inch fills the centre panel of a flour-sack tea towel nicely, leaves margin on both sides.

Best on cream cotton, natural linen, white flour-sack, oatmeal canvas, or pale pink fleece. Avoid loud printed fabric, the typography needs clean negative space to read the joke. Skip dark fabric unless you swap the black thread for cream or white. Send extra cutaway if youre stitching on knit, the dense satin pulls hard. Pop water-soluble topping over terry cause the letter outlines get eaten by loops. Use a 75/11 sharp needle and bump up to 80/12 if youre running the largest 5.85-inch on canvas. Theres no shortcut here.

Pre-test on a fabric scrap before committing to a finished apron, kitchen typography reads different on every weave and you want the joke landing clean. Pair this design with a custom name embroidered underneath for the perfect christmas gift to your favourite baker friend.
