Love Hope Cure Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three words, one colour, and somehow its one of the designs Ive sold the most of in the awareness category. The words "love", "hope" and "cure" stack vertically on the left in a flowing brush script, each word swooping with long tails and soft curls that connect the lines together, like the letters are holding onto each other. The "o" in hope has a little looping flourish. The "love" at the top has a heart shape worked into the letter. Then on the right side a large awareness ribbon leans slightly inward, thick satin fills at the outer curves and a neat crossed loop at the centre.

Single colour pink throughout, no thread swaps at all. The 4.8-inch version runs 10,026 stitches, which keeps it accessible for newer machines without a ton of prep. Digitised in Wilcom, the script sections use flowing satin column stitching and the ribbon body uses dense satin fill to give it that thick glossy look. Back this with medium cutaway stabiliser on jersey and knit fabrics, the script letters are thin enough that they need good support or they shift. On cotton canvas or twill tearaway is fine, go for the medium weight.

Best on white or very light pink cotton, the single pink thread reads clearly against those backgrounds. Try it on a pale lavender or cream for something a bit softer. Skip busy patterns and skip mid-tones where pink gets swallowed. Stitch the 4-inch version on a tshirt left chest and its subtle but readable. The 5-inch is nice on a tote bag.

A customer told me this month she stitches this one every october for a run of tshirts she donates to her local hospital ward. She does around 12 each year on white cotton jersey, using a good quality rayon thread in hot pink. The script holds up really well through washing and that ribbon keeps its shape after multiple cycles. Keep machine speed at medium and make sure your thread tension is consistent throughout, those letter curves are worth running slow on the first copy.
