Made With Love Sewing Embroidery Design, Craft Room Decor, Instant Download

Its all sewing stuff, assembled into a heart. A thread spool sits at the top, scissors open at the upper right, safety pins angle down the left side, yarn balls fill the lower flanks and a bobbin anchors the bottom. All of it arranged into a heart shape with 'made with love' written in a loose script in the centre. Its just a really nice way to communicate the whole craft-with-care idea without being too on the nose about it.

Single colour throughout, dark green on the approval sheet, though you can thread it in whatever colour suits your fabric. That single-thread approach is what lets this design carry so many fine details without getting cluttered. Each little object is individually recognisable because theres no colour blocking fighting for your attention. The scissors have actual blades rendered, the safety pins have the little clasp bump, the bobbins have the thread channel groove. Wilcom took their time with this one and it shows at the larger sizes where you can see all that specificity clearly.

5 sizes, roughly 3 inches to 6.25 inches wide, stitches from about 12k at the small end up to 23k on the biggest. Sixty-three trims on the mid size which sounds like alot but its what lets every object stitch in the right order without the machine jumping all over. Hoop on a firm cotton or linen with woven tearaway backing. Skip fleece or towelling for this one, the fine outline details lose sharpness on fluffy surfaces. Press with a warm iron after trimming and the whole thing settles flat and clean.

Quilters and sewers go for this one consistently, especially around the holiday gift season. I had a customer write me last december saying she stitched 8 of them onto project bags for her whole sewing circle and they loved it. Put it on a tote, a zip pouch, a framed hoop. They always get it immediately.
