Give Thanks Autumn Leaves Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pulled this one together back in August 2024 and its become one of those designs I realy wasnt expecting to do that well. The lettering is this big swooping script style, "give" sitting on top with wide satin strokes and "thanks" curling below it with a nice looping tail on the s. Heres the thing that makes it work though: the 4 leaves scattered around the outside. Yellow, burnt orange, orange-amber, and deep red, all the digitising was done in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with directional fill that actually reads like real leaves, not flat blobs.

Six sizes run from 2.49 x 2.51 inches all the way up to 7.44 x 7.51 inches, and stitch counts climb from 5,060 from the smallest right to 17,433 at the biggest. Thats alot of thread at the large size but the satin lettering really needs the density to stay crisp. tape down a medium cutaway behind the hoop, especially on the bigger sizes on linen or canvas fabric, and youll be fine. Colour changes: 3 stops total, so it moves pretty fast on the machine.

One customer told me last october she stitched the 5.46 inch version on a set of autumn linen napkins for her thanksgiving table and her guests kept asking where she bought them. Exactly the kind of reaction this one gets. The brown thread pulls all 4 leaf colours together so it doesnt look random, it looks intentional.

Use a firm cutaway on denim or thick canvas. On lighter cotton tea towels or flour sacks Im gonna say medium cutaway is plenty. Pop a topping over the lettering itself if youre working on terry or waffle weave, otherwise the underlay gets swallowed by the loops in the fabric and the letter edges go soft. Stitch it out on anything from a 4x4 hoop up to an 8x8 and youve got real flexibility.
