Eat Sleep Play Baseball Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Knocked out this one for the baseball families who live and breathe the sport year round. Its 4 stacked words: Eat at the top, then Sleep in the same chunky black varsity block lettering, then Baseball drops in the middle in red cursive script that cuts loose compared to everything above and below it, and REPEAT closes out the bottom. Sits above a line-art baseball with red satin stitching on the seams and a tiny heart inside. The contrast between that stiff block lettering and the loose cursive is what makes it work.

2 colours total, red and black. The red thread carries the script word and the baseball stitching detail so it flows as one visual element through the design. Stitch count runs from 7,470 up to 12,387 depending on which of the 3 sizes you hoop, smallest comes in around 3.5 inches tall which is great for a left chest or sleeve position on a jersey or tee. The 5.5 inch version fills a tote bag front nicely.

I had a customer order this last spring for her twin boys who both play travel ball. She stitched it on matching navy cotton jerseys and posted a photo, both kids realy loved em. So now I think of it as more of a family thing than just a player gift, parents and siblings wear it aswell.

Best results on medium-weight cotton or canvas with a cutaway stabiliser underneath, the satin column stitching in the letters needs that firm base or you get some shift on the block fills. Dont skip the topping on stretchy knits. Use a 75/11 needle, the density here is 432 and the jump trims are tight so a sharp needle keeps things clean. Pair with navy, grey or white fabric for the best contrast on both thread colours.

And if the file loads wrong or youve got a colour sequencing question just send me a note and Ill sort it fast.
