Italian Chef with Hot Pizza Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cheery Italian chef with a fat curly mustache, eyes squeezed shut from grinning, wearing a tall white toque and a red neckerchief. He holds out two pepperoni pizzas one each hand, the cheese is yellow with red pepperoni dots and green basil leaves on top. Aqua steam swirls float up either side, its got a real cartoon-cookbook vibe.

Twelve colors total which is a lot for a single design but the digitizing keeps the swaps efficient at thirteen stops. Black for the outline and mustache, white for the toque and apron, dark red for the neckerchief and pepperoni, brown for the pizza crust, yellow for the melted cheese, dark green for basil, aqua for the steam, plus skin tones in peach and cream. Density runs hot at 1,037 stitches per square inch on the densest fills so plan accordingly.

Last christmas I sold this design to a local pizzeria for their staff aprons, the owner messaged me on a tuesday morning saying he wanted the chef stitched in time for new years eve service. We turned it around in 48 hours, his crew been wearing the aprons since january. He told me a regular customer photographed every single one.

Stitch range goes 19,109 up to 43,917 across nine sizes, smallest is 2.63 inches wide and tallest hoop reaches 7.51 inches. Best on heavyweight cotton, denim, or canvas aprons. Skip thin tees, the chef hat alone holds about 2,000 stitches and itll bunch on jersey if you dont prep the ground right.

Hoop tight with heavy cutaway stabiliser, no shortcuts. Use a 75/11 sharp needle, slow the machine through the face details, the eye and mustache lines are fine and theyll go wonky if you push speed. Trim count is 109, halloween parties and pizza nights are the spots customers usually order this for.
