Mama Mermaid Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The layout here is tail on top, text below, which gives it this nice vertical flow. The tail itself is pink with a white overlay of scale sections running up toward the fin tips, and small aqua water-drop splashes sit on each side at the base of the tail, almost like its just come up out of the water. Then directly underneath, Mama sits in a big open script with wide loops, and Mermaid follows in a slightly smaller cursive run below that. The whole thing reads as one unit.

4 colours: pink is the dominant tail fill, white handles the scale detail layer inside the tail, aqua does the splash drops, and purple runs the full text section. 3 colour changes to get through it all. Stitch counts run from 7,675 at the smallest to 18,038 at the largest. The purple text is digitised in a dense satin that holds shape really well even on stretchy fabrics, the letter forms dont squash or drift.

5 sizes in the pack, from 2.51 inches wide by 3.51 tall up to 3.22 by 4.51 inches. Its a relatively compact vertical design so it fits on most standard hoop sizes. Lay no-show cutaway against the hoop bed. On a stretchy tee or sweatshirt, hoop a polymesh base and run a water-soluble topping on any textured fleece so the script stays crisp. Use a sharp 75/11 needle at the smaller hoop sizes and those aqua splash dots stay clean and rounded.

One customer last month ordered it for a mother-daughter matching beach towel set, mum on one and the little girls name beside the tail on the other. Ive seen it on sweatshirts, on tote bags, on the chest of a beach kaftan. People use it for birthday presents for mermaid-obsessed mums mostly. Stitch it on white, cream, or coral fabric and the pink and purple combination is just right.
