Coffee Splash Script Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The letters here are huge and loose, like someone wrote "coffee" with a big wet brush and let it drip where it wanted. Theres a small silhouette of a cup tucked in at the left side right before the first letter, and scattered around the main word are these liquid blob shapes, droplets and splash arcs that look like the coffee itself is mid-spill. Its very graffiti energy, wide and horizontal, not prim or delicate at all.

One colour runs the whole thing, a warm orange-brown (R214 G93 B0), zero thread changes, single stop. At the 4-inch wide size its 5,050 stitches, then 6,365 at 5 inch, 7,782 at 6 inch and 9,313 at the full 7 inch. Digitised in my embroidery software with a mix of satin fill on the thick letter strokes and denser underlay on the blob sections so they sit flat without puckering.

Specs: 4 sizes across 4, 5, 6 and 7 inch wide. Color changes 0, stops 1, trims 8 to 12 depending on size. Use light tearaway on cotton canvas or twill. Switch to a cutaway on sweatshirt fabric or knit so the splatter blobs dont bubble when the material moves. Add water-soluble topping on fleece so the satin strokes come out clean. Skip white or very pale base fabrics, the orange-brown needs a mid-tone behind it to look intentional rather than washed out.

A customer last summer stitched the 7-inch version across the front of a dark navy apron using a burnt amber thread and the contrast was suprised how good it looked. Works great along the hem of a tea towel too at the 5 or 6 inch size. Especially on natural linen.
