Hello Fall Leaves Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Four maple leaves sit side by side in a row, each one a separate colour that steps through the autumn gradient from orange on the left through to dark red on the right. Stamped onto each leaf is a white block capital letter, F then A then L then L, so the four leaves spell out fall across the row. Above the leaves, a thin black script runs the word 'hello' with a long underline stroke that connects across all four leaves. Its a surprisingly compact piece, the widest size runs to just 3.19 inches, so it fits anywhere you can hoop a 4-inch frame.

Colour count is 5, with 4 colour changes as the machine steps through each leaf shade. Stitch count at the smallest 1.37-inch wide size is 4,671, and at the biggest it reaches 13,110. Density is 587, so the leaf fills have solid body without being rigid. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio pulled clean satin edges on each leaf silhouette so they look crisp, not jagged. The underlay underneath each leaf is firm enough that the block letters read clearly even on textured fabrics like burlap or canvas.

I get messages from teachers about this one, particularly primary school and year one classroom teachers who want something they can stitch onto their own aprons or the classroom bunting for the autumn half term display. One customer told me she stitched 9 of them in a row on a length of cream linen ribbon and made a bunting garland to string across the classroom window. Took her an afternoon and looked realy good in her photos.

Avoid anything with alot of horizontal stretch here, the leaf row needs to stay dimensionally stable. Use a tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton, canvas, or linen. Skip jersey or fleece unless youre using a cutaway, and dont hoop too loose or the script lettering will drift sideways. Stitch on cream or oatmeal fabric so all 5 colours show up properly, especially that lighter orange which disappears on white.

Pick the smallest size for napkin ring embroidery or a lil tag on a gift bag. Run the full 3-inch on a hessian table runner centre for a thanksgiving table that doesnt need any extra decoration around it.
