Pineapple Embroidery Design, Tropical Fruit Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The pineapple here has the full classic shape, crown leaves and all, and the skin is rendered with proper diamond tile pattern fills rather than just a flat yellow fill. Each diamond section has its own stitch zone with alternating direction so you get that textured look the actual fruit has. The green crown at the top has multiple individual leaves fanning out, not just a blob of green.

Nine colours. The body uses warm golden yellow with orange-amber shadow fills and dark brown crosshatch outlines on each diamond segment. The crown goes through maybe 3 or 4 greens from deep forest at the base to bright lime at the tips. Stitch count starts at 11,125 for the smallest and goes up to 30,170 for the 7.5 inch wide version, suprised me how much detail they packed in at the smaller sizes too.

The sizing is wider than it is tall, 3.5 to 7.5 inches wide but only 1.84 to 3.95 inches tall, so its a landscape orientation pineapple. I get questions about this all the time and its worth knowing before you plan your placement. Last summer I had a customer order a whole batch of matching summer tote bags with this design, she said the golden yellow on white canvas was exactly the beach holiday look she was after. Great for left chest or sleeve placements where width matters more than height.

Use cutaway stabiliser at density 1018, tearaway wont hold this reliably. Stitch on cotton, linen, canvas, denim or fleece. Skip sheer or thin fabrics at the larger sizes. Pop it on a white or cream base and the yellow body really sings, navy or sage green also work well as contrast backgrounds.

Works on summer totes, tropical-themed cushions, beach towel corners, holiday apparel, kitchen items. The diamond texture detail shows up best at the 5 inch and larger sizes where the individual stitch zones have room to breathe. One color. Done.
