Money Bag Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Its a big round pink money bag, totally stuffed, with that fat black dollar sign stamped right across the front. The bag itself is digitised in hot pink with rose shading and little black sketch lines giving it this almost comic-book volume, like you can feel the weight of it. The rope tie at the neck runs in white thread wrapped in tight satin columns, and the whole silhouette carries a thick charcoal outline that makes it pop off pretty much any colour fabric. Realy satisfying to stitch out.

Stitch count on this one gets up there. At full size (5.36 inches) you are looking at around 54,000 stitches, so use a good cutaway stabiliser and dont rush the bobbin tension. Canvas totes and denim bags carry the full 6 inch well, and the tatami fill on the bag body handles heavy-grain fabric without puckering as long as you dial in your underlay right. For anything lighter like cotton twill a medium-weight tearaway works fine. Hoop tight, keep your topping thin, and let the satin dollar sign do the talking.

I get messages from craft-fair sellers who grab this one for personalised coin purses and bank-themed party gear, and last month a customer told me she stitched it onto a canvas bank bag for her niece's birthday and it got more compliments than anything else on the table. Pop it on blush linen at the 2.5 inch for something a bit more subtle, centre it on a fleece hoodie for kids, or skip the topping on dark denim since the density is high enough that jump stitches wont show through anyway. Add it to a gift set with a coin purse and you'll have something realy worth giving.

Get in touch if the outline wont sit clean.
