Limited Edition Quote Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Played with a limited edition quote layout, its got fashion-poster energy. The word LIMITED runs in bold black block caps inside a thin rectangular frame, but the letters arent just plain black, theyve been hand-built with little colour blocks tucked inside. The L has a soft pastel pink column standing in the corner. The I in LIMITED has a mustard yellow body and a teal cap. And right above the dot of the I sits a small red cherry with a tiny black stem and leaf. Underneath the frame the word edition flows out in soft black cursive script. Five colours total.

Block letters use thick directional satin laid so the letters carry subtle depth. Pastel insert columns sit underneath the black, so each letter reads like it grew up in colour layers, not flat colour-blocked. Cherry is a tiny red satin dome with a green leaf flick and a black stem hanging off the I, the playful kicker. Cursive edition word stitches as a single satin cursive line with smooth curve transitions, the loops actually loop instead of overlap.

I drew this for fashion-tee makers, small drop merch, capsule collection labels and band shirt designers doing limited runs. Smallest size is 3.51 by 1.98 inches, biggest is 7.51 by 4.22, so it sits on a small chest hit or a full back panel. A customer ordered the 6-inch last november for a christmas tee drop she did at a local market, only made 30 of em and the cherry-on-the-I quote sold the concept. She told me thats the bit people kept commenting on, the cherry was the kicker.

Best results stitch on a smooth woven cotton tee, soft jersey, washed twill or a heavier hoodie fabric. Cream, soft sand, sage, charcoal and dusty pink all let the black block letters pop properly. Skip black fabric, the bold black satin disapears straight into the cloth. Avoid heavy fleece, the cherry stem detail vanishes into pile.

Density runs 470 stitches per square inch, max 14k stitches on the largest size, so this stitches out fast for a graphic. Use a light cutaway stabiliser. Hoop firmly, jersey will pull the block letters out of square. Float a layer of water-soluble topping on the cursive word so the loops stay crisp. Best to slow the cherry segment down so the small parts lock down clean, message the help inbox if a colour drifts and ill rebuild the file.
