Hairdresser Tools with Sunflowers Embroidery Design, Beauty Salon Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Mocked up a few versions of this with different flowers before landing on sunflowers and thats clearly the right call. Three outline sunflowers across the bottom, each one with long radiating petals drawn in running stitch and a centre filled with a dense dot grid to mimic the seed pattern. Big leaves on either side of the cluster. Above them, four salon tools in solid black, a spray bottle on the far left, a dye applicator brush angled in next to it, scissors dead centre fanning slightly open, and a hair dryer on the right with its barrel angled out. The tools overlap the sunflowers at the base which is what ties the two halves together.

One colour, one thread, no stops for colour change. The dual treatment, solid tool silhouettes over outline floral, its the same idea as the floral version in this series but sunflowers give it a different energy. The petals are longer and the whole bottom half reads more open and airy compared to the magnolia version. Youre looking at a single thread density that averages 388 stitches per square inch across the design, with a maximum of 17,671 stitches at the 6.08 by 7.5 inch top size.

5 sizes from 2.84 by 3.5 up to 6.08 by 7.5 inches. Use a medium cutaway stabiliser on cotton or canvas. Tearaway works on tightly woven stable fabric but cutaway is safer for aprons and bags that take regular wash cycles. The sunflower running stitch sections are fine enough that you want a fresh needle, 75/11 sharp on smooth cottons. Slow to about 700 SPM on the petal outlines so they dont hop and leave gaps. A customer last october stitched the 5-inch on the chest bib of a black apron in white thread and texted a photo saying the sunflowers looked like they were hand-chalked on. Text me if the scissor handles look pinched after stitching and Ill check the file.

Best on white, cream, pale grey or washed linen. Pale denim works too. Avoid anything with a texture deeper than a loose canvas or the running stitch petal outlines'll sink and lose definition. Hoop tight, especially for the bigger sizes where the sunflower petals span a fair amount of fabric and youre covering more ground between anchor points.

Pop the small on a shirt pocket or a tote bag handle tab. Use the big size on the back of an apron or a canvas pouch for storing salon tools. Keep the thread matching the design colour, black on white or white on black, and it looks intentional rather than budget. Text the shop chat if a sunflower petal shifts off-centre and Ill check the colour stop order.
