Elegant Swirl Hearts Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

Three hearts sitting together in a cluster, each one slightly different in size, and connected by long curling swirl lines that spiral out from the edges. The flourishes loop back on themselves, they add real length to the design footprint without adding bulk to the fill area. Its the kind of piece that looks like it took hours to hand-stitch, which is the point honestly.

3 colours at a density of 500 which is on the firmer side of normal. The hearts themselves are dense red satin, the swirls run as a finer secondary colour, and the outline layer ties everything together. Stitch count starts at 9,874 at 3.14 inches and goes up to 25,195 at 6.71 inches. 5 sizes total. The digitising uses directional angle changes between the heart fills so you get that slight sheen variation when the light hits it from different angles, it doesnt look flat.

Ive been selling swirl heart designs for a few years now and this style gets ordered most often for valentines cushion covers and tote bags. One customer this february used the large 6.71-inch on a red velvet cushion cover and said it looked like a high-end boutique piece. She'd used cutaway stabiliser underneath the velvet and a wash-away topping on top, which is exactly right for pile fabrics since the swirl satin would sink without the topping holding surface tension.

Use medium or heavy cutaway on velvet, faux suede and fleece. Tearaway is fine on woven cotton and linen. Hoop the fabric firm because the long swirl runs will pull at loose corners and distort the spirals. Add an underlay pass before the satin if youre on thicker cotton so the density doesnt push through to the back.

Avoid sheer or lightweight fabrics, the 500 density will show through. Email me the order details if anything is wrong with the download and Ill send a replacement right over.
