Dad and Child Embroidery Design, Father's Day Machine Embroidery, Instant Download

A design that catches people off guard, the word DAD in solid block letters, but inside that first big D, theres a full scene: a father bent over, one hand on a small bicycle seat, steadying a kid who is learning to ride. The figures are detailed line art, not just flat shapes. You can see the posture, the dad leaning forward, the kid gripping the handlebars. Its the kind of image people look at for a moment before they realise the letters are part of it too.

4 sizes from 2.43 up to 4.24 inches wide and 7 inches tall. Stitch counts from 4,952 to 12,084, density 407. Single colour thread, a medium cutaway stabiliser works on both woven and knit fabrics. Use dark charcoal or black thread on a light-coloured linen or cotton for the best contrast on the scene detail. Thats where the linework really shows up.

I get messages about this one more than most of the dad designs, especially from people making a gift for a dad who taught their kids to cycle. One customer ordered it last fathers day specifically because her dad had taught her on a blue bmx in the early 90s and she wanted to commemorate that on a pillow. Go give it to the dad who deserves it, these kinds of gifts land differently to a shop-bought card.
