At 26,510 stitches on the largest size, theres alot going on here density-wise, but the digitising is really clean. A large ladybug and a smaller one sit at the top, each one built from directional satin arcs that follow the curve of the wing so it catches the light properly when its hooped tight. Then theres a tiny one perched on a pale blue tatami-filled cloud at the bottom, which is my favourite bit honestly. The cloud uses a crosshatch underlay to keep it from sinking into jersey, and the result is this soft pillowy shape that looks almost three-dimensional.

In the centre theres a cursive name placeholder in red satin, same colour as the ladybugs, so the whole thing reads as one coordinated piece. I keep the name script at a medium stitch density so it doesnt get stiff on onesie fabric. Needs a cutaway on stretchy tees but worth it because the finished result on a white cotton onesie or a linen bib is really lovely, the red pops against light fabrics especially well. Last week a mum who runs a small babywear stall wrote me to say shes been personalising newborn gift sets with this and customers keep asking her where she gets her designs from, which made my day.

The wide 6 inch sits nicely centred below the handles on a canvas tote, ladybugs right at eye level. Skip the topping on woven canvas, you wont need it, but on terry cloth or fleece Use a water-soluble topping to keep the satin letters crisp. Pop this on a cream fleece blanket and the pale blue cloud reads beautifully against it. Hoop your stabiliser snug, particularly at the 3 inch, which is sized for a bib corner or shirt pocket, because the curly antennae are fine satin lines and any fabric shift shows up.
