Crescent Moon Star Embroidery Design, Fantasy Night Sky Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

This crescent moon and star design is one of those two-colour jobs that looks way simpler than it is to digitise well. The tricky bit is getting the star to sit cleanly inside the crescent concave without the underlay pulling the satin stitches toward the gap. I spent abit of time in my main software adjusting the pull compensation so the inner edge of the moon reads crisp. At density 39 the fill is intentionally light, thats a lil unusual for a geometric design but it means the piece breathes nicely on lighter fabrics and you dont get that stiff cardboard feel under the hoop.

Nine sizes run from 3.5 inches wide to 7.5 inches, with a stitch range from 1,834 to fourteen thousand 153. Two colours only. Ping me if you want to know which thread numbers I matched in my samples, I find that ya get alot cleaner results when both colours are in the same brand family. Tearaway stabiliser is fine for woven fabrics. On knits Id suggest a cutaway to keep the curves from distorting after the first wash.

I had a customer drop a note last week saying shed used the 4-inch version for a bunch of celestial bookmarks on felt, stitched them in gold on black felt, no stabiliser at all, just hooped the felt directly. She said it came out sharp and she sold the lot at a craft fair. I get messages like that and it makes me happy. Run the outline last after the fill so it covers any bobbin pull on the star tips. Pick a medium tearaway for most applications and youre set.

This one also works on dark backgrounds, a metallic gold thread on navy or dark plum reads really strongly. Send a chat note if the download doesnt arrive and Ill send it straight over.
