Haunted House Halloween Scene Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Built this one as a full contained scene inside a circle, like youre looking through a window at an old haunted property at night. The circle is the full moon itself, and sitting inside it is a multi-storey Victorian haunted house on the right with pointed turrets and glowing rectangular windows. On the left stands a bare dead tree with branches reaching across the sky. In the foreground a picket fence runs along the bottom, two carved jack-o-lanterns sit on the grass, and scattered above everything are 5 or 6 bats mid-flight. All black silhouette work, looks like a proper old horror film poster reduced to a single embroidered patch.

Single colour, one thread, no changes. But the density on this one is 1079 which is the highest in my range, so it needs proper support. At the 6.5 inch size youre running 45,599 stitches and they're packed tightly together. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser and hoop it tight, I mean really tight, any slack and youll get the fence section pulling and the grass area puckering. The smaller 3.5 inch size still comes in at 21,745 stitches so even thats not a light stitch. Run your machine at about 70-80% speed through the house section where the density is most concentrated.

One customer told me this was the only halloween embroidery she could find that actually looked like something she wanted on her wall. She stitched the 6.5 inch size on natural linen and framed it as halloween art. I loved seeing that result because the black silhouette on natural linen looks like an old woodcut print. Also sells well on black hoodies where the white or cream thread version stands out. Tape a layer of cutaway behind denim or heavy canvas and youre sorted.

Avoid lightweight sheer fabrics, the density will push through. Best on medium to heavy weight cotton, linen, denim or canvas.
