Faith Hope Cure Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three words stacked clean. "faith" at the top in big black brush script, "hope" in the middle with those open looping letters, "cure" at the bottom with the biggest downstrokes in the set. The black letterforms are done with wide satin columns, Wilcom digitised this with proper underlay so the stitching sits flat rather than puffing up on the curves, which you notice when you look closely at the finished piece.

Running along the left side, a hot pink awareness ribbon starts at the top and sweeps down in a long continuous curve, ending below the third word with a little tail. Its not a separate element stuck on, it weaves in and out of the letters visually so the whole composition reads as one unified shape. Pink hearts float around the outside, nine of em, different sizes, some tilted. The stitching on the hearts is soft satin fill, no outline, so they have a gentle quality that doesnt overwhelm the script.

I sold this design last november to a hospital chaplain who visits patients on an oncology ward. She stitches it onto small cream cotton pouches that she leaves as comfort items during patient visits. She told me the last word matters more than people might think, that its what patients need to see written down. Honestly that stuck with me. The stitch range goes from 9,190 on the 3.51-inch up to 24,703 on the biggest 7.51 by 7.4 size, five sizes to choose from.

Stitch on white cotton, natural linen or cream fleece and the black and pink read strong. Avoid dark fabrics here because the pink ribbon is thin in places and it wont show up on anything deeper than a mid grey. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, cutaway on any knit or stretch fabric. Text designs with those long satin column downstrokes really do need a firm hoop or the registration drifts on the ascenders. Slow your machine on the long flowing ribbon section, you dont want thread drag pulling the pink off course. Text me if something looks off after stitching.
