Ornamental Pineapple Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

I drew up this pineapple back in february after a regular wrote for a small ornamental motif for her kitchen apron set. Hand-drawn linework, diamond cross-hatch pattern on the fruit body, pointed leaves up top. recieved good feedback on the boho vintage feel, suprised me how popular it became for napkin sets aswell.

Set has 9 sizes from 1.65 inches wide right up to 3.52 inches, stitch counts from 1038 to 24012. Four colours in the palette, density around 910 stitches per inch. The size range stays small here on purpose, this design is built as an accent motif not a centrepiece. Digitised in Wilcom, the fruit shape cross-hatch laid down first then the crown leaves layered on top, outlines stitched last for crisp edges. Im on poly 40 for that vivid colour finish. Thats kinda how I prefer it actually. Heres the trick from canvas builds Ive done. Im easy to reach if its lifting.

Use a midweight cutaway stabiliser for stretchy fabric, tearaway works fine on stiff cotton. The crown leaf points are small, so use a 70/10 sharp needle and slow the machine on those sections. one of my regulars ran the 3-inch on linen napkins and said it stitched out clean on the first try, no tension fuss. alright if you swap thread colour the look changes dramatically, try navy on cream or gold on white.

Use as a corner accent on napkins, polo shirts, tote bag pockets, kitchen towels, small hoop frames, baby bibs. Pair with a banana or palm leaf motif for a tropical set that reads bohemian rather than cartoonish.
