Bright Rainbow Embroidery Design, Baby Nursery Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Honestly one of the cleanest rainbow designs Ive made. Six colours in proper arc bands, satin fill throughout, and the proportions are deliberately wide-and-low so it reads as a proper sky rainbow rather than a cramped semicircle. Stitch count is 4,745 at the smallest and 13,036 at 7.49 inches wide. The low stitch count at the small size is because the arc bands are relatively simple shapes at that scale, but they still come out crisp.

Six colour stops in sequence, red down to violet. The density at 516 means each band has enough coverage without being stiff, so this sits well on soft fabrics like muslin, fleece, and French terry. A good cutaway stabiliser on knits, tearaway on wovens. One customer ordered the 5 inch size for a row of baby onesies last march and said the colours popped beautifully against the white cotton, which is exactly what you want for nursery items. Alot of my nursery customers come back for this one specifically because its wide enough to look intentional but doesnt crowd a small garment.

Pick whichever size fits your project. The 3.49 inch is narrow enough for a bib centre without overwhelming the garment. The 7.49 inch makes a bold statement on a cot quilt panel or a pillow cover. Stitch it on light-coloured fabric where the six saturated colours can do their thing. Use a topping on textured fabric like French terry so the satin bands dont sink. Best on muslin, quilting cotton, or linen where youll really see the arc sheen.
