Cute Flying Unicorn with Heart Balloon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This is the flying unicorn with the heart balloon and its basically the most extra design Ive made this year. The unicorn foal is mid-gallop in the air, chunky satin body in a warm tan tone, hot pink mane flowing behind with a streak of sky blue running through the tail. Shes gripping the string of a big blush-pink heart balloon up on the left side. Around her theres a whole scatter of stars in gold, lavender and deep purple, plus little swirly ribbon loops drifting through the background.

And the colour work is alot to manage in a good way. Fourteen colours total, 13 stops, and the stitch density runs about 907 per square inch so theres real substance to the thread texture when its hooped up. The biggest size at 7.51 inches wide clocks in at 43k stitches. The smallest is 4.51 inches and just under 25k, which is still a proper dense fill for that size. Wilcom did the directional stitching on the body with satin columns on the legs so the texture reads like actual fur rather than flat colour.

I get orders for this one every birthday season, honestly. A customer last december made matching onesies for twins, both girls, she stitched the small 4.51-inch size on the chest pocket and it photographed unbelievably well against white fleece. Kids birthday planners order this for iron-on backing projects alot and it also gets used for girl bedroom cushion covers and party tote bags.

Use a cutaway stabiliser under any knit or jersey because 14 thread swaps and 142 trims puts abit of pull on unstable fabric. Stitch it on woven cotton or white canvas for the cleanest read. Avoid dark backgrounds here, the dusty tan body and the pale balloon need a light ground to show up. Pop the smaller 4.51-inch on a pocket or bib when you want something subtle rather than a full chest piece.
