Golden Wheat Stalks Embroidery Design, Rustic Farmhouse Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Single colour. Just one. Gonna sound kinda obvious but thats the whole point -- I wanted a digitising exercise in making one colour do alot of work, and at density 67 it does. The grain heads at the top use radiating satin lines at different lengths to build the spikelet texture, the stems are thin stem stitches with a slight curve built in, and the bundle shape reads as a natural loose cluster rather than a stiff arranged bouquet. Took me abit of time to get the grain head detail right without the stitches crowding each other at small sizes.

Stitch count is 10,483 at 3.06 inches wide up to 21,239 at 6.57 inches. Low density, 67, means this really really is one of the lightest stitch-out designs in the rustic range. Tearaway stabiliser works fine on cotton, linen, burlap. Last autumn I had a customer who runs a farmhouse market stall order the full set of 7 sizes for seasonal table linens -- she said its her go-to for gifting season because its so fast to stitch out at this density. Skip cutaway on stable wovens, tearaway holds fine if your hoop tension is consistent.

Seven sizes from 3.06x3.5 to 6.57x7.5 inches. The tall format suits tea towels, table runners, and pillow covers naturally. Stitch the 5-inch version in the corner of a hessian table runner for autumn entertaining, or use the 3-inch version repeated along the hem of a linen apron for a farmhouse kitchen look. Swap in a rusty terracotta thread or an olive green and the mood shifts completely -- thats the advantage of a single-colour design.
