Funny Cartoon Bird Embroidery Design, Quirky Bird Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Alright so this bird. I get notes about this bird alot, usually something like 'what is this bird even looking at' and honestly I have no idea, but the expression works. Sixteen colours and a density of 94 means its a proper complex stitch, 34,025 stitches at the 7-inch top-inch size, but the multiple blue tones are what really alot of people say makes it look more illustrated than flat. Nine sizes from 3 in through 7.5 inches. The smallest at 1,016 stitches is a super fast run; the largest will take most home machines about 25 minutes at normal speed.

Pair tearaway with the everything. The wing feather sections use applique-style layered satin and the layers need a firm backing or the lower teal layer gets pushed by the upper cobalt pass. Float a water-soluble topping over the wing sections if youre stitching on any texture, terry cloth, fleece, textured canvas, because the feather detail vanishes into pile fabrics without it. Stitch the belly patch first, then the body, then wings, then the beak and eyes last. Pick the beak colour and face details at the very end because those are the smallest sections and they need the cleanest needle plate access; if theres any bobbin fluff in the hook assembly, clean it out between the body section and the face section.

One customer wrote me back in october saying she stitched this on a hat for her partner who was suprised by it at the dinner table, which is a solid recommendation honestly. Tote bags and hoodies are the most common projects I see for this one, and it reads well at the 5-to-6-inch range on a medium-dark fabric where the blue tones pop. On a pale or white fabric the cobalt reads really strongly too.

Stitch on a medium-weight canvas or a cotton-poly blend rather than a lightweight cotton shirt, at density 94 the bird's body fill can feel slightly stiff on very thin garment fabric, and the mid-weight fabrics let the design sit properly without pulling the grain.
