Cherry Trio Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three cherries hanging from twisted stems, all bunched together the way they come off the tree. The big leaf at the top is dark forest green with a lighter green for the midrib and edge detail, giving it that ribbed texture you see on real cherry leaves. Four layers of red build up each cherry, deep crimson base, a brighter mid-red, then rose-pink running up toward the top, and a small tight white highlight right where the light would actually hit the skin. Thats what makes em look round rather than flat.

Seven colours total and 9 sizes. Smallest is 3.49 inches wide at 17,135 stitches, largest is 7.49 inches wide at 46,800 stitches. Density is 931, professional embroidery software digitising. The layered shading on the fruit bodies uses short directional stitches to blend the red shades, so the coverage has to be dense to work. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on any fabric for this one, light-weight tear-away wont hold that density flat.

In June a customer ordered the 5-inch version for a set of kitchen aprons and matched the deep crimson colour to a red gingham backing. I was suprised honestly, the cherries almost popped off the gingham like applique rather than embroidery. Best on white, cream, black, or forest green fabric where the full colour range reads clearly. Skip mid-red or bright red fabric because the layered fills need contrast from the background to read as 3 separate fruit.

Stitch the 3.5-inch run on tea towels, napkins, and tote bags. Run the 5-6 inch on apron bibs and cushion covers. Pop the 7-inch on a canvas panel or framed linen piece for a kitchen wall display. Add solid cutaway underneath anything that isnt a firm woven cotton and hoop with good tension so the multi-layer fill stays smooth.
