Hello Summer Strawberry Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Honest opinion? The contrast in this one suprised me, forest green lettering against cherry red script on a white background and it somehow just clicks. The "Hello" sits in thick rounded green script and "Summer" swoops underneath in a big cursive that curls and flourishes, its a two-part word composition and balancing both weights was trickier than I expected. Two ripe strawberries sit in the design, one tucked near the "o" in Hello at the top right and a bigger one centered at the bottom, surrounded by white daisy flowers and dark green vine leaves. Scattered peach dot accents add a playful confetti feel, its a busy design in the best way.

The density on the strawberry fills is around 635 stitches per inch so they come out with that lovely satin sheen on cotton or denim. Hoop with a cutaway stabiliser on stretchy jersey or fleece, a tearaway works fine for woven twill or canvas. The tatami fill on those leaves gives em that rich directional texture. Stitch the 6.4 inch width version on a canvas tote, it sits front-and-centre with real impact. Use a topping on terry cloth so the script lettering doesnt sink into the loops. Skip dark navy fabric unless you want to test an underlay first, the design reads best on cream or white.

A crafter who sells at markets last summer bought this for strawberry-season tote bags, she said it was her best seller in June. Last week I stitched the 3 inch on a cotton onesie and it turned out realy sweet, the detail held perfectly even at that small size. Add this to your warm-weather rotation and you wont be disappointed.
