The Kitchen Is the Best Place to Gather Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Vertical layout. Tall and narrow which makes it sit beautifully on tea towels or a long apron panel rather than a chest pocket. Theres a black brush script Kitchen up top, red ribbon banner with the is the across the middle, black best place in the next row, then a serif To between two small black leaves, and a heavy red Gather word anchoring it all at the bottom in script. Its a lovely composition. Five sizes, 4.01 to 8.01 inches wide and the tallest hits 5.84 inches. Stitch range starts at 9,668 on the smallest and runs up to 20,168 at the 8-inch. Density is denser than usual at 431 spi, so its got real weight on the satin.

I've digitised this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with the red banner running first in the stop sequence then black layering on top. The white edge inside the red ribbon is actually negative space. Theres no third colour needed, the digitiser left a satin border with the gap, which keeps the file size tighter. Those leaves are tiny black satin shapes about 6mm tall so theyd want sharp needle work. Drop to a size 75/11 if you can. Hoop with medium cutaway behind anything knit cause the dense satin will tunnel without proper backing. Run a sheet of water-soluble topping over terry or waffle weave so the Kitchen lettering reads clean.

Last spring a customer ran the 7-inch size on a set of four linen napkins for her mum's 60th birthday brunch and said the red bottom word popped right off the cream linen at the table. She'd used a low-density 40wt rayon thread which gives that slight sheen on the red. Worth noting if youre going for showy versus matte. She wrote me back two days later saying she's planning a second set for the holiday season.

Best fabrics are cream linen, natural cotton drill, kitchen towel cotton, and any flour-sack weight where the colour contrast lands fully. Skip black or charcoal cause the script wont read and the red goes muddy. Theres no way around that. Avoid stretch fabrics without a firm stabiliser cause that dense red banner pulls the weave. Stitch the 5-inch on a tea towel hem and the 8-inch on a table runner centre for a matched dinner set. Ping me if your machine snags on those tiny leaves and ill rework the corner pull-comp.
