Nana Script Heart Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Nana written in a flowing cursive script with a small heart as an accent. Tall and narrow, the 6 sizes go from 0.94 inches wide by 2.01 tall on the tiny size growing to 3.24 wide by 7.01 tall on the full size. The stitch range sits between 1234 and 4646 so its a lightweight file even in the bigger sizes. Density 205 means the satin strokes on the letters are fine and clean rather than chunky, which keeps the cursive character readable without flooding a soft cotton knit with stitches.

Mapped in Wilcom with a running underlay that holds the thin script strokes flat on fabric without pulling. Hoop a lightweight tearaway stabiliser for woven cotton, linen, or denim. For stretch like a jersey tee or a ribbed cuff, go with a soft cutaway instead. The 3.24-inch size fits nicely on a shirt chest or a kitchen towel panel. Ive stitched this one a few times myself and the 2-inch version on a small linen pouch is probably my favourite placement, it sits there quietly and reads as genuinely handmade, not like a printed transfer. A customer last Grandparents Day ordered 3 versions in different sizes and stitched them across a set of matching towels for her daughter-in-law, nana, gram, and granny, all in matching thread colour.

Pick 40wt polyester or rayon for the sharpest cursive edges. Dont use anything heavier or the thin letter joins start to blob together at the smaller sizes. Run a test stitch first if youre going under 1 inch wide, a well-tensioned machine matters alot at that scale.

Works all year, not just Grandparents Day. Its a permanent part of grandkid birthday gifts, Christmas wrapping surprises, and those kitchen towel sets that grandmothers actually keep rather than regift.
