Pencil Frame Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Heres the pencil split monogram and theres alot to love about it. Eight chunky pencils stack across the design, four up top and four on the bottom, alternating directions so the sharpened tips meet in the middle. Down the centre runs a blank white banner ribbon with thick black outline, sitting empty and waiting for a teachers name, initial or class number in your own font.

Pencil bodies split between salmon pink and dusty rose colourways with subtle directional satin shading to fake the cylindrical shape. Wood tips use a warm sandy tan, ferrule bands a clean golden yellow, and the leads sit in charcoal. Heavy black outlines hold the pencils crisp against eachother and its loud and proud all the way across a classroom.

I drew this one for the teacher gift crowd. Last appreciation week a customer ordered six in different sizes for her daughters whole school staff and she sent me photos of every tote bag, the banners said names like Mrs Patel and Ms Rivera in clean black thread. People keep telling me the empty banner is the secret sauce, theres no template feel, its always personal.

Fair warning, the file is dense. 13 colours, stitch counts run from 21,926 on the small 3.5 inch up to 58,126 on the big 7.5 inch hoop. Density above 1000 sts per square inch on the larger sizes is properly heavy, so pick sturdy fabric for the bigger hoops. Stitch on canvas, denim, sturdy cotton or fleece. Skip stretch knits aswell as thin tees on the bigger sizes, the dense satin fill will pull jersey badly.

Pick white, sky blue, mint or soft yellow as background colours so the pink pencils sing. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser for any size above 5 inch, double layer if your fabric runs light. Pop polyester thread on the pencil bodies, theyll hold up after a few classroom washes. Send me the format you need and ill convert it.
