Round plate taking up the center, a fork standing up on the left side, spoon and knife crossing behind on the right. The top half of the plate has this dense ornamental lace border, the kind of semicircular decorative trim you see on fine china or old bistro menus. Its all tiny scrolls and floral clusters packed tight into an arc. Then right across the middle of the whole composition a wide ribbon banner sweeps in with both sides curling under, solid black fill, and the words Bon Appetit! sit on it in white brush script. The exclamation mark is part of the lettering, it leans casual rather than formal which keeps it from feeling stiff.

Just 2 colours, black and white. The density on the big size goes up to about 41k stitches which is where that lace detail lives, all the fine border work adds up fast. Smallest size comes in around 12k which is very doable. Make sure your black thread is genuinely dark and your backing fabric is light so the white script text pops off the banner.

Use cream linen, white cotton twill, natural canvas or a pale tea towel. The black fills are heavy and full, so anchor everything down well before you hoop. Stabilise with a no-stretch backing on woven fabric, the banner section in particular has dense coverage that will pull on anything loosely woven if its not backed right. Skip dark fabric entirely because the white lettering has no outline and disappears fast against anything mid-tone or darker.

Six sizes gives you a good range, the small at 2.56 inches fits a napkin corner nice, the big at 6.8 inches covers an apron bib without looking cramped. A customer asked me last week whether the lace border held up on denim and the answer is yes on a firm sew-in stabiliser, it came out beautifully sharp.

Message me if the border detail isnt reading clean on your test run and Ill check the file right away.
