Little Boss Crown Embroidery Design, Kids Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Tiny crown. Just 1.51 inches wide, 1.27 inches tall. 2,769 stitches. Three colours: gold, cream, and a dark outline, and density 224 which sounds high for something this small but thats necessary to get the tiny tip jewels to hold their shape properly at this scale. Wilcom handled the stitch pathing and those little dot fills are run as a short dense satin block rather than a run stitch, which is why they read as actual circles rather than blobs.

I get messages from customers who do personalised baby gifts, this is consistently one they come back to. Because its so small you can stitch it on the corner of a onesie snap cuff, on a collar point, on the chest pocket of a toddler shirt, or run it twice symmetrically on both cuffs of a baby sleepsuit. Its also turned up on personalised birthday banners, a customer ordered a set for a one-year-old party last april and stitched twelve of these across a cotton banner with the birthday number between each crown.

Use a topping layer if youre stitching on terry cloth or fleece, the crown points need a clean surface to satin stitch onto or the pile grabs the thread and distorts the shape. On woven cotton a light tearaway is fine. On stretch knit use a cutaway and hoop firmly. The design is Wilcom digitised so the underlay lays down flat before the crown body, meaning you wont get show-through of the fabric beneath even on lighter coloured garments. Stitch it on white cotton and use gold polyester thread, at 1.51 inches wide that gold reads really sharply on white fabric even in small sizes. Avoid 30-weight thread at this scale, it piles up and the tiny crown gems look lumpy. Pick a 75/11 needle for the sharp point detail.
