Bat Heart Silhouette Embroidery Design, Halloween Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The left half of this design is a clean heart outline, heavy satin column, smooth curve. The right half breaks apart into individual bats, small ones near the heart edge, bigger ones spreading outward and upward as though the whole thing is mid-flight. Its a clever piece and I get a lot of orders for it right around halloween and actually again near Valentines Day from people doing gothic or dark romance projects.

Its 1 colour, black, density at 292 which keeps the smaller bat silhouettes clean without filling in. Six sizes, 2.26 inches at the smallest up to 6.79 inches wide. Stitch count runs from 4,274 to 14,918. Back it with a soft cutaway under jersey, the satin outline on the heart side needs a stable base or you get bow-in along the curve. Tearaway is fine on firm woven cotton or canvas. Pop the right hoop tension and the swarm section stitches out flat with no distortion.

Text me if theres a problem with the file and Ill get it sorted same day. One customer told me last november she used the 5 inch feature on black velvet ribbon to make a choker necklace centerpiece, which is genuinely one of the more creative uses Ive heard. Velvet needs topping, just so you know, a water-soluble mesh sheet over the pile before you hoop or the satin column sinks in and you lose the outline sharpness.

Works on basically any colour fabric, its single colour so you just pick your thread. Black on white is the classic, but Ive seen it done in white thread on black canvas and it looks aswell. Skip busy prints, the scattered bats need breathing room to read properly. Try a cream linen for something a bit softer than stark white.
