Coolest Turkey in Town Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This turkey really does look like he owns the street, I got messages after thanksgiving last year from customers who put this on aprons and said their family wanted to know where they bought it, not made it. Thats kinda the point of a design like this. Ten colours, 11,834 stitches at a density of 171, all packed into a 3.07 by 3.5 inch footprint, its not gonna be a quick stitch but the result is definitely worth the thread changes.

The tail feather fan is where most of the colour work happens, each feather segment gets its own satin fill running in a directional angle so they look separate and layered rather than just one flat blob of colour. The body uses a gonna-be-chunky fill that reads well on medium weight fabrics without the stitching pulling. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretch fabrics or anything with a loose weave, the stitch count is high enough that light tearaway will sometimes separate mid-stitch on jersey. I had one customer send me a message last october who tried this on a fleece hoodie, she used cutaway and topping on the feather area and said it came out crisp.

Ping me a chat if the colour sequence feels confusing when you first open it in your software, I laid it out logically but different machines number stops differently. Use a fresh needle for this one, the density will dull a needle faster than simpler designs. Stitch the underlay passes first and dont skip them even if your software gives you the option, the density holds better when the base is solid. Send me a quick note if you need a colour-reduced version with fewer thread changes and Ill prep it.
