Strawberry Half Cut Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The strawberry here is sliced clean in half and you're looking at the cross-section face-on, the creamy white interior, the tiny yellow seed dots scattered through the flesh, and the bright red outer skin with that green leafy cap still sitting on top. its one of those builds where the inside view is actually more interesting than a whole fruit would be. 8 colours go into building this, red outer, cream flesh, yellow seeds, green leaves, and a few gradient tones to give the skin some depth. Stitch range runs from 9,926 up to 26,000 at the 5.77 inch width, density 751, so this is a substantive run with alot of detail packed in.

Hoop a heavy cutaway stabiliser, this isnt one to try on tearaway. The density and the multiple colour layers need a solid base or youll get distortion in the flesh area where the stitching transitions from cream to pink. The directional fills in my embroidery software go outward from the centre to mimic actual fruit texture, so the stabiliser choice really does affect how the whole thing reads. Best on smooth canvas, cotton drill, or a flat-weave denim rather than textured fabrics where the detail can get lost.

Last summer a customer used this on a set of matching beach tote bags, the mid 4 in on white canvas, and she said the seeds came out tiny and sharp. That kind of detail is what the 8 colour build is for, Im glad it works. She did 3 bags for her daughters summer birthday and then came back for more.

Skip white-on-white placement, you need contrast for the cream interior to read properly. Use a mid or dark base and the whole cross-section pops. Stitch it on a beach bag, a sun hat brim, or a kids swim cover-up for summer. Text me through the shop if anything doesnt run as expected and Ill fix it.
