Faith Hope Love Embroidery Design, Instant Download

"HOPE" takes up most of the space in tall bold block capitals. "faith" is written vertically in small script running down the left side of the H, stacked letters reading top to bottom. "love" sweeps underneath in a wide flowing script, the L looping into a small heart outline that sits between the O and V. Its three words, three different styles of lettering, all in one red thread. The contrast between the thick block letters and the lighter script work makes it read well even at small sizes.

Single colour design, which I really like for religious quote pieces because it feels intentional rather than decorative. That small looping heart tucked under "love" is done as a simple open satin column, its not the centerpiece but its the detail that holds the whole composition together. 5 sizes from 1.79 inches up to 4.17 inches wide. Stitch count is really low, just 4,377 at smallest and 11k at biggest. Fast to run, easy on the bobbin thread too.

Church craft groups use this a lot. One customer runs sewing workshops at her congregation and she told me they do these on linen pillow covers for fundraiser sales. The simple red on cream or white reads so clean it sells to people who dont even know anything about embroidery. My aunt stitched one on a tea towel last christmas and her whole reading group asked where she got the design.

White linen, cream cotton, pale blush fabric. These all work beautifully. Red on white is the classic read for this type of design. Avoid dark backgrounds because those thinner letterforms in "faith" and the small swirly heart disappear on anything dark. Tearaway stabiliser is fine for most woven fabrics and the density is low enough that a medium tearaway holds well without stiffening the fabric. Use a thin bobbin thread to keep the back neat, and dont skimp on the underlay under the block capitals or the fill can look sparse. Its a simple run, honestly, theres not much that can go wrong here.
