Be Mine Valentine Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Big chunky red satin heart with Be Mine written across the front of it. The Be sits in a smaller font above and the Mine below in a larger bolder weight, the two lines of text fill the heart interior nicely. Its a candy-heart kind of feel, like the conversation heart sweets but stitched in red and white rather than pastel. 2 colours: a chunky red fill and white lettering on top.

Density is 351 which is medium-light for a heart fill this size, meaning the fill doesnt pull the fabric as much as a denser design would. 5 sizes from 3.23 inches wide up to 6.9 inches. Stitch count goes from 7,656 up to 18,210. The lettering is stitched as a separate pass after the heart base so the white reads cleanly against the red without any bleed, the underlay holds them apart.

This kind of bold valentine text design sells well in the weeks leading to february 14th and I see a lot of repeat customers who come back for text-on-heart pieces. One customer last year ordered the 6-inch on a set of red fleece blankets as valentines gifts for her employees, she said the contrast of white lettering on the red fleece base was cleaner than expected and held without cutaway bleed. She'd used heavy cutaway on the fleece which is the right call for that fabric weight.

Stitch on white cotton tees, red fleece, pale pink canvas, cream linen or natural calico. Use tearaway on woven cotton and canvas, cutaway on fleece and jersey. At density 351 the heart fill is light enough that tearaway doesnt cause push-through on firm woven cotton. Add a base underlay if youre on stretch fabrics to keep the heart edges from pulling in at the sides.

The white lettering reads sharpest at the 5-inch and 6-inch sizes, the 3.23-inch compact version still holds its shape well on woven cotton with tearaway backing.
