Breast Cancer Polka Dot Ribbon Embroidery Design, Survivor Gift

So this breast cancer polka dot ribbon, 4 sizes and 4 colours, instead of a solid ribbon body you get the ribbon shape drawn entirely with circles. Hundreds of pink dots pack into the classic awareness ribbon outline, no fill behind em, the dots themselves are the ribbon. Its textural, mosaic, confetti looking. valentines day style flat fills isnt what this is.

Dark magenta runs deep at 2,711 stitches on the smallest. Bold hot pink at 4,844, thats the heaviest one. Soft purple lavender at 3,405. Pale baby pink rounds it out at 2,723. Total 13,685 stitches on the small, climbing to 20,171 on the largest. Densitys around 487 stitches per square inch and the dots are stitched as small individual satin discs.

I had a customer message in september, said her mums survivor anniversary was coming up. Five years clear. She wanted to stitch one big version onto a cream cotton tote her mum could carry to her checkup appointments. Said her mum hates anything that screams cancer survivor on it but she loved this cause it reads pink polka dot from a distance. The ribbon doesnt hit ya til you look close, which her mum said felt right.

Sizes go from 4.51 by 3.31 inches up to 7.51 by 5.51 on the largest. Run a cutaway stabiliser since the dot density gets heavy, polyester thread holds the colour through repeat washing. Best on cream, white, charcoal, dove grey, pale lilac cotton or linen, avoid pink fabric or the lighter dots'll vanish. Hooped on a 5x7 for the smaller two, 6x10 for the bigger. Stitch slow on the magenta pass cause the trims add up to 362 jumps. Pop on a topping if youre doing fleece since the dots will sink without it.
