Skeleton Hands Heart Embroidery Design, Halloween Embroidery, Instant Download

Two skeleton hands reaching up to hold a heart between them, thats the whole design and honestly its one of my favourite things Ive digitised. The bones are done with proper satin stitching on each finger joint so you actually read them as skeleton fingers rather than just a white blob. 1 colour, single thread load, stitch count runs from about 4,887 on the small end through to 15,211 on the largest 4.5 inch version.

I made this one for halloween but people use it year round aswell, which suprised me a little at first. The spooky-sweet combination, skeleton hands being gentle with a heart rather than grabby or scary, is the thing that makes it work outside of October. Its got that gothic romance energy without going full horror.

9 sizes from 2.09 inches wide up to 4.5 inches wide. Between 3.5 inch and 7.5 inch finishing sizes so it fits nicely on a standard shirt chest or a tote bag front panel. Stitch density sits at 451 which is comfortable for most cotton and jersey fabrics. The punch came out of professional digitising software so the satin columns on those finger bones are clean and tight.

And because its a single colour design you dont need to swap threads mid-run, just load your black or cream or whatever you want and let it go. But stick to a midweight cutaway on stretchy fabric, tearaway on rigid stuff like canvas or denim, or those finger segments will shift. Hoop it snug, run at medium speed, and it runs clean. Skip really dark navy or forest green as a backing fabric if you want the bone white to read clearly.
