Floral Ghost Halloween Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pulled this together as something for people who want halloween without it being all skulls and orange. Its a ghost but surrounded by wildflowers -- daisies, stems, little buds and leaf sprigs growing up on both sides like its been standing in a garden long enough for things to grow around it. The whole image is single black thread, so every bit of detail in the botanicals comes from the outline work and satin fill rather than colour contrast. Thats the whole challenge and also why it looks as good as it does when its stitched out.

This is the biggest design in this collection -- 3 sizes from 5 to 7 inches with 10,725 stitches at the small end and 14,972 scaled to 7 inch. 41 trims in the 5-inch run so this one keeps the machine busy for a while. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser and lay a water-soluble film over fleece -- the fine botanical stem lines blur on fluffy fabric without it. Wilcom handled the digitising with directional satin on the ghost outline and consistent 308 density across all the botanical stems and petals.

Stitch the 5-inch on a denim jacket back panel for a fall botanical statement. Use the 7-inch centred on a large canvas market tote. Pop the 6-inch on a natural linen hoop for a halloween wall piece. Avoid white fabric on white bobbin -- the satin outline is single-colour black so the contrast fabric does all the work here. One customer grabbed the 6-inch file last october and said the floral detail suprised everyone at how sharp it read for a single-colour design. Its the kind of thing that looks more involved than it actually is to run. Text me if you need anything and Ill get back to you.
