Heart Coffee Cup Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A round ceramic cup sitting on a saucer, drawn in that clean cartoon line style where every curve is confident and thick. The surface of the drink has a lil heart sketched into it like a barista latte art moment. Then floating up from the top in place of steam are 3 loose hearts at different sizes, the biggest one near the cup, a mid one twisting up, and a tiny one at the very top. The whole thing reads as a single image from 5 feet away which is what you want on a mug cosy or a pocket tee.

So its just 2 colours: red for the heart fills and the saucer accent areas, black for all the outlines and the cup body. One colour change. Stitch count is 5,007 on the smallest 3.51-inch size and 11,247 on the largest at 7.51 inches. Density is really low at 331 so this is a lightweight design that runs fast and doesnt stress fabric. A coffee shop owner in my area ordered a bunch of these last december on cream canvas aprons for her staff, she told me her customers kept commenting on em over the christmas period.

So the design is tall and narrow rather than wide. The biggest size is 7.51 inches tall but only 4.52 across. Keep that in mind for placement. Pop it on a mug cosy, on a lower shirt pocket, or centred on a canvas bag panel. Its a bit too narrow to use as a full front tshirt graphic but as a chest-left placement it sits just right. The small 3.5-inch version is nearly perfect for stocking stuffers embroidered onto a little linen pouch or a flannel hand warmer.

Use a lightweight tearaway on cotton or canvas, its low density so you dont need cutaway here. Iron your fabric smooth before hooping, any texture in the base fabric will catch in the outline satin columns and make the cup look wobbly. And if your machine slows on those solid red sections just bump the thread tension up a half notch, the satin fill areas at this density sometimes go slightly loose at normal tension on older machines.
