Coffee Heart Steam Cup Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Took this coffee cup design in a taller vertical direction rather than wide. The cup sits on a decorative saucer with a little scroll accent below, and the script "Coffee" runs underneath in loose cursive. Above the cup rim the steam rises up and curls into a proper heart shape at the top, and theres a second ghost outline steam layer underneath the main one in a lighter cream thread, that layering is what gives it the dimensional look rather than just a flat cutout.

Its 2 colours: cream runs first at 2,222 stitches for that outline layer at the 3-inch size, then warm brown runs 3,599 stitches for everything else. Color change 1, comma splice aside that second pass in cream is the secret to why this reads so differently from every other cup on the market. At the 5-inch hoop the totals jump to 3,846 cream and 6,468 warm brown, so 10,316 combined.

Specs: 5 sizes from 3 to 5 inch tall. Stitch count 5,823 at the smallest up to 15,553 at 5 inch. Color changes 1, trims 19 to 21. Digitised in professional tools with directional satin fill on the cup body and a higher density underlay on the cream steam section. Use medium tearaway on woven cotton or linen. Use cutaway on jersey or tea towel fabric. Topping helps on textured surfaces so the cream outline doesnt disappear into the weave. Avoid placing this on a pale cream base fabric unless you swap the first colour to a deeper contrast.

One customer asked me to send just the steam heart section as a standalone file, I dont sell it separately but send me message and I can advise on how to crop it in your software. Works on aprons, kitchen towels, and tote bags at the 4-inch tall size.
