Im Fine Everything Is Fine Chicken Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Right in the middle is a very distressed chicken. Wings flung out wide, beak open, eyes doing that full-panic thing where the pupils go tiny. A strand of fairy lights is tangled around the body in three loose loops, wire bunching at the chest and trailing off at the feet, individual bulbs in red, yellow, green, and blue hanging off it. The hen wears a red Santa hat with a white pompom that lists slightly to one side, like it got knocked during whatever disaster is unfolding here.

Im fine arches in chunky black block lettering above the bird, period included, and EVERYTHING IS FINE runs below in the same bold font, also with a full stop, also clearly not fine. The letters have a slight hand-pressed texture to em, so it looks like something stamped rather than perfectly typed out. Motion lines radiate out from the wings, and the feet are just visible at the bottom, planted on a small shadow patch.

Eleven colours, 5 sizes from 3.5 by 3.3 inches up to 7.5 by 7 inches, stitch counts from just under 21,000 at the smallest to 51,675 on the largest. Its the feather shading that drives those numbers, theres a lot of directional satin work in there for the gradations. Use a firm medium cutaway stabiliser and slow your machine on the feather detail section, dont rush it. A customer put the 5-inch on a black crewneck last year and said it was the only thing she got compliments on in all of December.

Pick a dark background and the charcoal text plus golden feathers both read clean, black, deep navy, dark grey, or forest green all work well. Skip yellow, the feathers disappear against it. Use tearaway on stable wovens and cutaway on any knit or fleece. Dont skip stabiliser thinking its just a gag gift, the detail in those feathers earns every layer. Email me if the wing outline separates from the body fill and Ill swap a thread shade to sort it.
