Heart Cluster Awareness Ribbon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Sketched this out after a customer wanted something with a ribbon and hearts together -- the kind of design thats straightforward enough for a shirt but personal enough to feel intentional. The ribbon is centred and around it a cluster of small hearts float at different angles. Some hearts are solid satin fill, others are just an outline, so the whole thing doesnt sit like a heavy patch. Its kinda light and scattered, which makes it read well even at the smaller sizes.

Single colour all the way through. One thread, one colour change stop -- the machine runs it start to finish without interruption. That makes it fast to stitch and very consistent across a batch run. Back it with a firm cutaway stabiliser, especially on the larger sizes where the satin columns on the ribbon get long enough to shift without support. Density is 380, which is comfortable on mid-weight cotton or denim. Ive hooped it on a zip pouch blank in poly canvas and the outline hearts held crisp without topping.

Five sizes from 2.64 inches wide stretching up to 7.51 inches. Stitch counts run from 7653 to 14671. The small sizes are brilliant for pocket placement or tags, the large is very usable on a hoodie chest or tote front. Add a name or date in a plain font below the design if youre doing a personalised memorial piece.

Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the digitising, and the underlay on the solid hearts is directional to keep the pile smooth. A shop owner told me last autumn she runs this on awareness month merchandise and sells through the batch every time. Use a cutaway backing and youll get the same results.
