Cute Octopus with Glasses Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This cute octopus has glasses -- little round ones perched on a face that's kinda smug and kinda adorable at the same time. Nine colours in the build, 9 sizes between 3.5 and 7.5 inches wide, stitch count running from 23,724 on the smallest up to 55,915 on the full-size. Eight tentacles splay out in that flat kawaii spread, each one tipped with satin-stitch highlights that catch light at different angles. Its a sea creature with personality, and customers keep coming back for it.

I put the 4-inch run on a cotton canvas tote last month and a customer wrote back to say her daughter wouldnt go to school without it on her backpack. Density sits at 1,288 -- solid enough to give the tentacles real body on fleece or denim without the build going rigid. Pop a firm cutaway backer under stretchy knit fabric, tearaway on woven linen or cotton canvas. Pop wash-away film onto the face panel if your fabric texture is rough enough to break up the fill.

Wilcom drove the digitising, so the underlay under those tentacle fills is mapped to pull flat before the colour stitches drop in. You dont need to fight the machine over registration -- hoop tight, run at a medium speed on the fill sections, and the directional satin detail does its job cleanly. Skip light beige backgrounds; the charcoal outline reads sharpest on white, ocean blue, or pale seafoam. Best on beach bags, backpacks, or any ocean-theme project youre working through.
