One Loved Teacher Pencil Trio Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three big chunky pencils stand side by side, each one pointing downward with the tip at the bottom and the pink eraser at the top. The left pencil is gonna be your favourite if you like leopard print, orange and black spots digitised across the whole barrel in satin fill. The centre one has a red body covered in tiny white hearts. On the right sits a softer tan-brown print, lighter colouring than the first. Below all three, in flowing black cursive script, it reads 'one loved teacher', the letters sweeping low with proper calligraphy-style strokes. The eraser bands are done in satin column stitch, white rings on each pencil neck.

I digitised this one in 5 sizes starting at 2.6 inches wide and going up to 5.55 inches. The largest comes in at 56,040 stitches which is the highest stitch count of anything Ive put together this month. Eight colour changes for the patterns, the heart fill, the erasers, the tips and the lettering. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser, the density here is 1,345 and those satin fills on the spots need a stable base to sit right. On cotton denim or canvas twill the texture actually shows the directional stitching. Dont hoop stretch knit for the larger sizes, it'll distort those calligraphy strokes.

One customer sent me photos of this stitched up onto a cream linen tote and it looked incredible at that scale. She used standard polyester thread and said the colour changes came out clean with zero bobbin tension issues. Send me a line if you want the suggested thread colour sequence, Ive got notes on which shades to pull.

Stitch it onto a tote bag for the teacher, a canvas pouch, or a back to school shirt. Use it on a personalised mug cosy or a pencil roll. Add it to a cushion for the teachers desk. Great for customising teacher appreciation gifts at the end of the school year aswell. Pick a cream or white fabric and the colours just sing.
