Skeleton Holding Hands Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Set this up for the gothic and Halloween crowd but honestly it sells well all year because couples keep finding it for anniversary gifts and friendship pieces. Its two skeleton hands, forearms cut off at the wrist, fingers laced together in a standard holding-hands grip. What makes it worth buying over the flat clip-art versions is how the bones are broken up. Every finger joint is its own satin shape, so the phalanges read as actual separate segments rather than a blob outline, which is harder to digitise than it sounds.

And the density at 416 is managed carefully so the white negative space inside the fingers stays open, you can actually see through to the fabric, which is what gives it the real bone structure look instead of filled solid shapes. 4 sizes, 2.86 to 5.01 inches wide, 4 to 7 inches tall, stitch counts running 8,322 at the smallest and 14,584 at the biggest. Single colour so no thread changes to juggle. industry-grade software routes the satin along the long axis of each phalanx so you get that raised cylindrical highlight when the light hits it. Use cutaway on stretchy fabrics, tearaway on canvas or denim.

One customer who plans gothic weddings ordered the 6-inch run last October for couples favours and came back in February for valentines orders. Ive had people run it for anniversary totes, best-friend patches, and Halloween favour bags in the same month. Run it in white thread on black fabric and it absolutely sings. Best on a medium-weight cotton twill or denim where the satin stays crisp. Add a topping on velvet if you want it on something with pile.
