Cheerful Heart Rainbow Embroidery Design, Valentine Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Pulled this together as a valentines day piece but honestly it works any time of year on kids stuff. The rainbow is five big satin arcs. Orange on the inside. Then red, aqua, yellow, and finally pink wrapping the outside. Running along that outer pink arc is a row of small orange dots, evenly hooped and spaced like a dotted border, almost like a polka-dot trim sewn right into the design. At the very base sits a lil filled orange heart, pointing down, kinda tucked in where the two ends of the arch meet. Its that rounded retro look you see in early 80s picture books, not modern minimalist at all. Happy. Bouncy.

Four sizes from 1.74 inches up to 3.83 inches wide, stitch counts going from 3,581 to 8,599. And all 5 colour stops are separate so you can swap any of them out. Digitised in my workhorse software. Theres nothing locked in colourwise, Im always surprised how different it reads when people switch the aqua to a dusty lilac. Stick to no-show mesh under knits or loosely woven fabrics, otherwise the arcs can pull at the corners on anything stretchy.

I get messages asking about colour swaps on this one every february and every time kids birthday season comes around. Its very popular in pink plus gold or purple plus white for a more grown-up take. The dot border looks realy sharp in metallic thread if your machine handles it, thats been the most popular version this past spring. Dont skip the stabiliser on jersey, youll thank yourself later.

Stitch it on a onesie pocket, a kids school bag, a pillow cover, a denim jacket yoke, a nursery wall hoop, a tote bag front, or a bib. Add it to a tea towel set for a baby shower gift. Stack two of them mirrored for a bigger composition on a quilt block. Holler if you hit a snag with the file and Ill turn it around quick.
