Romantic Heart Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Tree of life thing, but instead of regular leaves the branches drop tiny red hearts and the trunk has a big bold red heart sitting dead centre like the trees soul. Two thread colours, six sizes from 2.51 to 7.51 inches. The branches and roots curl out into little filigree spirals on every side, real proper scrollwork. Just deep red and ink black, so colour management is dead simple, you just swap once.

Stitch counts run from 9,023 at the smallest up to a heavyish 29,035 at the largest. Density measures 617, which is on the denser end for filigree this fine, so the satin columns on the branch curls pack tight. Use a fresh sharp 75/11 needle and slow the machine down a touch on the larger versions, the curly satin sections benefit from a steadier feed. I digitised this in my workhorse software with directional satin on every branch swirl, which is why the curls read clean even at 3 inches, the angles change to follow the spiral and the underlay supports the satin properly.

Six sizes covers most projects. A bunch of customers grab the 5-inch for a cushion front and a couple folks asked about the 4-inch for chest-placement on a sweatshirt. One customer in vermont wrote me last february saying shed stitched the 6-inch onto an ivory linen pillow for her wedding anniversary and her husband still keeps it on the sofa. Thats the use case I see most.

Best fabrics are natural linen, cream cotton twill, ivory canvas or charcoal. Avoid loose-weave fabrics, the fine filigree branches need a stable ground or theyll register slightly off. Add medium cutaway stabiliser behind it, water-soluble topping on anything textured, and skip stretch fabrics unless youve hooped a polo or sweatshirt with a fusible mesh underneath. Dont rush the bigger sizes. Pair it with a script monogram below the trunk for an anniversary keepsake.

Ping me if you want a smaller mini-version sized for a card-front insert, I keep a 1.8-inch trim file on request.
