Rainbow Piano Treble Clef Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Dense at 714 stitches per square centimetre, this one took alot of passes to get the piano keys sitting right inside the clef curve without pulling the fabric sideways. The treble clef itself is all thick satin stitch in black, bold and clean, and then curving around the inside of that looping body are piano keys stitched in a full rainbow arc from hot pink at the top through red, orange, yellow, green, blue and into purple at the bottom. Its the kind of design where you look at it for a second before you clock what the keys actually are.

Needs a cutaway on stretchy tees but worth it every time. On denim or canvas tote bags the satin sections sit perfectly flat with no topping needed. I do recommend a firm cutaway stabiliser for anything with give in it, because at that stitch density the underlay alone wont hold a jersey from distorting round the edges. The 3.41 inch width at the largest size is the sweet spot for a music bag, and the smaller sizes hoop up fine on hat bills if your machine can handle lil tight placement.

A teacher ordered a bunch of these last week for end-of-year tote bags for her students, and thats exactly the right use for it. Stitch it centred on a cotton twill tote and use a 40wt thread for the key fills so the colours stay bright wash after wash. Pair it with a plain coloured hoodie and the rainbow pops without fighting any background print. Avoid poly satin fabrics for this one, the tatami fill in the keys can catch on slippery weaves during hooping.
