Ghost Heartbeat Embroidery Design, Halloween EKG Pattern, Instant Download

Sketched this one out for people who are into that spooky-meets-cute thing. Its a simple heartbeat line going across the whole design, and sitting right on that line is a lil ghost, kinda kinda scribbled looking in black, with tiny dot eyes. On the right side where the EKG spikes up, it resolves into a small open heart outline instead of just a flat peak. Simple idea, really clearly reads at distance.

Two colours: orange (R255 G90 B1) and black. This is a horizontally oriented design, so at the smallest size its 3.50 inches wide by only 1.21 inches tall, which makes it really well suited for cuffs, waistbands, and narrow borders. The largest goes to 7.50 by 2.60 inches. Stitch counts stay low, 2,962 at the smallest, 6,727 at the biggest. Low density at 345 means you can get away with tearaway stabiliser on most woven fabrics. Run it on cotton jersey with light cutaway and itll hold fine aswell. Stitch the small 3.5-inch size along a sleeve cuff with just a strip of tearaway and youre done in under 10 minutes. Skip the heavy cutaway on thin fabrics, its overkill for this stitch count. Add a stabiliser topping if youre doing this on a textured knit so the ghost outline stays sharp.

Had a customer grab this for a hospital-shift scrub-top run last october, which is the kind of placement it was made for. One customer ran the 5-inch version along the hem of a black long-sleeve shirt and said it was the only halloween top she had that actually looked intentional. Reach out if you need me to resize outside the 5 included sizes, Im usually pretty quick with custom requests in October.
