Gonna be honest, this is kinda a tricky one to digitise because wine glasses have transparent surfaces in real life, and you have to fake that with thread. What I landed on was a layered approach -- 10 colours, with the bowl area using directional satin at a shallow angle so it reads as light passing through, and a white highlight column down the right side of each glass to sell the glass illusion. Stitch count is 12,645 at 2.88 inches wide up to 28,775 at 6.17 inches, so its kinda just enough density to get the detail in without making the fabric pucker.

Ten colours sounds like alot but really really only 4-5 of them are doing the main visual work -- the rest are small accent fills on the decorative base element. Density is 96 which sits on the lighter end, so this digitises cleanly on linen and cotton without needing aggressive underlay. I use a lightweight cutaway on any stretch project, standard tearaway on cotton kitchen fabrics. You dont need topping on smooth wovens.

Seven sizes, 2.88x3.5 inches up to 6.17x7.51 inches. The small 3-inch version is brilliant on a cocktail napkin corner, which is genuinely what this was designed for. Last november I had a customer customising wedding table napkins ask if I could make the glasses slightly more angled and I pointed her to the 4-inch version which already has a more tilted composition at that size ratio. She said it worked perfectly. Im always happy when the size range solves the problem without any customising needed. Use a tearaway stabiliser on cotton napkin fabric and the whole thing lines up cleanly.

Reach out if you want to know which thread colour numbers I used for the burgundy accents -- Ill share the full colour list from the original digitising file.
