Modern Kitchen Utensils Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Kitchen and cooking embroidery is one of my best selling categories, and this utensil grouping is the one I get the most repeat orders on. Two colours, five sizes from 3.51 inches wide to 7.51, stitch count goes from 10082 at the smallest to 32656 at the largest. And the density at 598 means it runs cleanly on most kitchen fabrics without puckering. Heres the design approach: charcoal outline stitching with an ivory satin fill on the wooden spoon, the rest stays outline-only which keeps it graphic and clean.

Alot of people use this on tea towels, aprons, and oven mitt panels. Tearaway stabiliser is fine for most woven kitchen fabrics. But on thick terry cloth towelling you need a water-soluble topping aswell as a firm stabiliser underneath or the loops will pull through the satin and mess up the whisk wire detail. Use the 5 inch version centred on an apron bib. Stitch the 4 inch on a tea towel positioned about a third of the way up from the hem. Add the topping on terry and dont skip it, I learned that one the hard way last march when a batch of towel sets came out with the whisk wires completely buried in the loop pile.

Run a test piece on a scrap first if youre working on terry for the first time. Skip dark fabrics unless you switch the charcoal thread to a light colour, the outline vanishes on navy or black cotton. The 7.51 inch version stitches beautifully on natural linen for a kitchen display nook, frame it in a simple wooden frame and its done.
