Red and Black Star Wreath Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This one is all geometry, no leaves or botanicals. The wreath is made entirely of five-pointed stars arranged in a ring, alternating scarlet and matte black fills as they go around. The centre is open, cream space where you can add a letter or initials if you want, or just leave it as the negative space the design uses as a breathing room. Its square overall, roughly the same width and height, which makes placement on a cushion front straightforward.

Run through my professional tool at a density of 326, quite low for a fill design, which keeps the stitch count manageable across all sizes. Nine sizes from 3.49 inches at the smallest to 7.48 inches at the largest, stitch counts from 6,088 to 17,805. Because the density is low you dont need heavy stabilisation. A medium cutaway works on knit fabric, tearaway on stable wovens. The low density also means the satin on the star points needs clean hooping to avoid shifting. Avoid topping on tight cotton as the thread floats look cleaner without it. The bobbin colour matters here since the star tips are narrow satin and the bobbin peeks through at the point ends on light fabric.

On a cream pillow the red and black pop without needing a dark background. A customer last month stitched the 7-inch version on a cream cushion cover and texted me saying it was the cleanest-looking thing theyve made all year. Works equally well on tote bags or as a centred chest placement. Text me with the order number if the file doesnt come through after download. A quick download issue, easy to sort.
