Be Still Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two words. Thats it. "Be Still" in that loose brushed calligraphy style, the Be sitting smaller up top in cursive and the Still taking over below with wide sweeping letters and those long ink-trail descenders running off the bottom right. Its the kind of lettering thats harder to digitise than it looks, because the thick-thin contrast youre working with on real brush script means youve got dense satin columns right next to connections that are barely a thread or two wide.

Single colour, black thread only. Zero colour stops to manage, no bobbin changes, the machine just runs it through from start to finish. Stitch range is 4,535 at the smallest 2.78-inch size up to 10,528 at the largest 5.93-inch. Density is light at 236 so it sits flat on cotton twill and linen without puckering. I digitised it in my professional tool and the satin underlay on the thick strokes is proper directional, which is what keeps those letterforms from looking wobbly on anything with a loose weave. Dont skip the underlay setup if youre re-importing into your own software.

One customer told me she used the 4-inch placement on a linen hand towel for a bathroom refresh last spring and it looked exactly like the kind of thing youd find in a boutique homeware shop. She had to stabilise it with a layer of tearaway under the linen because the weave was fairly open, which is the right call for this one.

Best on cream, white, sage, or natural linen fabrics where black thread gets maximum contrast. Avoid busy prints. Skip velvet or stretchy jersey unless you hoop with topping, the satin columns need a firm surface to register cleanly. Add medium cutaway behind anything with any give at all. The smallest 2.78-inch version hoops easily in a 4x4 frame and still reads crisp from a metre away.
