Heart Leopard Rainbow Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This is a rainbow but make it leopard. The outer band is full leopard print -- amber orange satin fill with directional black spot clusters on top -- and then youve got three smooth satin arcs inside it going from hot magenta down to a dusty blush and then a soft grey-silver at the centre. Small red hearts sit evenly spaced along the top of the leopard band, floating naturally with the arc, no misalignment issues.

6 colours, 5 colour changes, and density at 710 stitches per square inch. The leopard fill is the fiddly bit -- youll want a proper medium-weight cutaway stabiliser to handle the directional underlay under those satin columns. Stitch count runs from 10,284 at 2.35 inches wide up to 26,772 at the full 5.02-inch size. At the larger end hoop a double layer of cutaway on anything stretchy or knit, or the arch distorts at the base. Wilcom did the digitising so the satin transitions between the arcs dont gap between the colour bands.

I get messages about this one whenever valentines week rolls around but honestly its a year-round design. One customer wanted it on a sweatshirt in september, no occasion, just liked the colours. Pair it with white or pale pink for maximum contrast. Stitch the 5-inch version on a sweatshirt front, use the 2.35-inch on a hat, or pop the 3.5-inch on a small zippered pouch. Add a topping on fleece or terry. Works on most woven fabrics without issue.
