Halloween Hanging Garland Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pulled this together as a banner-style design, the kind that works like actual paper bunting but stitched straight onto fabric. Theres a string running across the top and ya get 3 colours and nine sizes worth of halloween icons hanging off it -- spiders, a coffin with a cross, a grinning pumpkin, a witch hat, a cobweb, small bats, and a lil "Boo" text in hand-lettered style down at the bottom left.

Its all single black thread, no stops or colour changes, just 35 trims as the needle jumps between the icons. The density sits at 556 — high enough that theres good definition even on the finer spider legs and web strands. Digitising at this density means you need a stabiliser that wont stretch -- cutaway is the call here, especially for the larger 4.76-inch wide run. Stitch range is 11,231 to 19,845 stitches across the 4 sizes, so mid-size hoops are fine for most of them.

I get messages every september asking if this works on a sweatshirt chest and the answer is yes, that's actually the most popular placement. Best on white, cream, or pale orange fabric where the black reads as proper ink-sketch. Run it across the chest, along the hem of a pillowcase, or centre it on a tea towel for october. Pair it with a solid-colour bobbin thread and it sits flat without any puckering on medium cotton.
