Fairy Gnome Butterfly Wings Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The wings are honestly the main event on this fairy gnome design. Two large butterfly wings spread out wide on both sides, they're packed with swirling scrollwork patterns, little eyelet circles, teardrop fills, the whole decorative treatment. Deep rose pink and hot pink shading across the wing panels with black outlining all the fine detail. Very dense satin work at density 1375, thats what makes those wing sections look so rich and layered.

Tucked right underneath the wings is the gnome himself. Just the tall pale pink pointed hat with a lil bow on it, the round peach nose poking out, and then a full long curly beard in lavender grey tumbling down. His face is mostly hidden which is very on-brand for gnomes honestly. The composition is wider than its tall because the wings stretch so far out, so plan your hoop orientation accordingly. Last christmas I got a bunch of orders for this on tote bags and it stitched up really clean on canvas.

5 sizes running from 4.15 x 5.01 inches up to 7.47 x 9.01 inches, stitch counts go from 47,304 all the way to 92,561 at the largest. Thats a serious build. 8 colour changes total. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio digitised this so the satin columns in the wing scrollwork have proper underlay and pull compensation baked in. Use a cutaway stabiliser on knit or stretch fabric, or a medium tearaway on woven cotton and linen. The wing detail sections wont hold on a flimsy tearaway if theres any give in the fabric.

Hoop tight and keep your bobbin tension consistent because the density in those wings is high. Pop it centred on lighter fabrics so the pink reads well, the design gets a bit lost on dark backgrounds. Skip busy printed fabric too, its got enough going on already. Text me if the file dosent open or you want a colour swap and Ill rework it in the afternoon.
