Hairdresser Tools Floral Embroidery Design, Beauty Salon Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Played with this layout for a while before settling on the fan arrangement. Five salon tools all standing upright behind the flowers, scissors on the far left, then a clipper attachment comb, a product tube dead centre (the tallest element), a rat-tail tail comb, and a wide-tooth styling comb-brush on the far right. Theyre fanned outward like a bouquet of tools, which sounds odd but looks genuinely balanced in practice.

The tools themselves are all solid black satin fill, dense and clean edged. The magnolia blooms and leafy branches below them are drawn in outline-only running stitch, same black thread but barely any density, so the flowers sit light and sketchy underneath. That contrast between the heavy solid tools and the delicate outline florals is whats making this work as a design rather than just a clip art dump. Single colour, one thread run with trims, no colour changes needed.

Smallest size is 3.07 by 3.5 inches, largest is 6.58 by 7.5, so youve got 5 options across that range. Density at 275 stitches per square inch is light overall, with the maximum at just 13,587 stitches at the largest hoop size. Stitch rate can run at 800 to 850 SPM comfortably. Use a light to medium cutaway stabiliser, a tearaway works fine on stable woven cotton too. Avoid very textured surfaces, the outline flower sections need a smooth base or the running stitch looks blurry. Float a water-soluble topping on any textured cotton if youre really wanting to try it on a rougher weave.

Last march a customer who does custom workwear ordered the 5-inch on a set of black salon capes for her staff, white thread on black fabric as an inversion, and the outline flowers came out looking like a chalk drawing. Email me any questions about thread substitutes or swapping the tools fan order and Ill help sort it out.

Pop the medium on the chest pocket of a salon uniform shirt, the upper back of a stylist apron, or a small canvas makeup or tool pouch. Try the large size on the back of a denim jacket for a salon owner who wants something that actually looks like theirs. Best on white, cream, light grey or pale blue base fabric. Those botanical outlines read well on pale linen too. Skip printed patterns. Email me a stitch photo if a bloom edge looks off and Ill check the file for ya.
