Farm Chickens Line-Up Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Five hens, all different colours, all standing in a row looking directly at ya. Theres the pale white one on the far left, then a golden tan one, then the dark charcoal hen in the middle who honestly looks like the boss of the group, then a sandy brown one, and on the far right the richest chocolate of the lot. Each one has a small red comb, little button eyes, and bright yellow feet planted flat on the ground. Nobody is doing anything dramatic. Theyre just standing there being chickens, which is exactly the energy.

The bodies use directional tatami fill stitching so the feather texture shows without needing actual feather-by-feather digitising. Ten colours with nine colour changes, but most of them are the individual body fills so each hen gets her own thread, and the machine just works through em in sequence. On the smallest 3.5-inch height size the stitch count is only 7,589, which means it stitches out really fast, a customer wrote me last month saying it finished in under eight minutes on her Brother machine.

Pair these on a cream linen apron or a canvas kitchen tote and ya basically cant go wrong. I also had someone email me to say she stitched the line-up along the top of a waffle cotton hand towel for a farmhouse kitchen set and it was perfect. Use the largest 7.5-inch height on a tea towel or linen pillow, the smaller sizes on pockets or patches.

Use tearaway stabiliser on most wovens, the density is friendly at 21k max stitches even on the biggest size. Avoid stretch fabrics, the wide horizontal row needs a stable base so the spacing between hens stays consistent. Stitch on natural linen, cream cotton canvas or oatmeal twill. Add a touch of topping on that grey hen body if your fabric has any texture, it keeps the fill smooth. Email me if the colour sequence on your machine looks off and ill send a revised thread chart.
