Ghost Dogs Halloween Embroidery Design, Spooky Puppy Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Two dogs wearing lil ghost costumes, each carrying a pumpkin basket for trick-or-treating. Thats the whole idea and honestly Its a design where you see it and you just get it immediately. One customer who ordered this last October said she hooped it onto a dog bandana for her golden retriever and the thing got more compliments at the Halloween parade than the dog itself did.

The digitising on this one was done with alot of care around the white ghost sheets. Satin columns run vertically down each ghost shape to give that flowing fabric look, and the cutaway stabiliser underneath is basically required since the density hits around 1,213 stitches per square inch on the smaller 2.44-inch size. Use a medium-weight stabiliser minimum, dont go lighter or the fill will pull. Six colour stops total, white sheet first then the tan ear patches, orange basket, black outlines, grey shadow layer, and a small dark accent at the base.

Run the 4.06 by 7.5-inch version on cotton or canvas items where you need the detail to read clearly. The ears poke out above the ghost sheet and those satin sections are narrow enough that on terry or fleece the loops can catch and distort. Stick to woven fabrics or use a water-soluble topping on anything with texture. Stitch count tops out at 36,940 on the large size so budget around 12 to 15 minutes machine time.

And the dogs are just cute. Big round black eyes, lil pumpkin handles stitched in directional fill, the whole thing reads like a greeting card. Pick this one for any Halloween project where you want spooky but approachable, not scary. Holler if you hit any snags on stitch-out and Ill check the punch.
