Fall Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a round wreath, kinda compact, made up of maple and oak leaves layered around a circular frame. The leaves are that warm pumpkin orange with a slightly lighter orange catching highlights as they fan out. Tucked between the leaf clusters are small acorns with their black-outlined caps, just a few of em, enough to break up the leaf shapes. Inside the open centre of the wreath sits the word fall written in a flowing dark red cursive script, done in satin columns so the letterforms look like theyre written with a brush. 4 colours total, 3 colour changes on the run.

Five sizes from 3 inches up to nearly 7 inches. Thats a good spread. The 3-inch is genuinely tiny but the script still reads because the satin columns are digitised with proper underlay to keep em crisp. At 3 inches its sitting at just over 9,000 stitches, quite light, and the biggest size hits 25,100 stitches. Ive been using Wilcom EmbroideryStudio for digitising this style for years and the leaf fills come out looking layered even without heavy density because of the directional stitch angles on each leaf body. Its one of those designs that looks more complex than it is to run.

One customer who does botanical-themed wedding planning used this last september on muslin bags as part of an autumn woodland table setting. She stitched the 3-inch on hessian favour bags and grouped them in threes. I got a message saying guests were keeping the bags as keepsakes, which honestly made my week. Stitch the smallest size on cream cotton for the cleanest read. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven linen or canvas. Skip dark navy or black ground fabric because the orange leaf fills lose contrast quickly on dark backgrounds. Dont hoop too loose, the acorn cap sections have short jump stitches and theyll snag on slack fabric. Reach me if something stitches oddly, Im usually around to help the same day.
