Strawberry Splash Embroidery Design, Fun Fruit Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Its a strawberry mid-splash, the kind of image you get when you drop fruit into water and grab a photo at exactly the right moment. The strawberry itself sits solid in the middle, red fill with those tiny seed dimples across the surface and a green leafy cap on top. Then the water bursts out around it in arcing splash arms, and loose droplets scatter outward from the main impact point. The whole thing reads as action frozen in place, theres real energy to it.

I reckon this took more time to digitise than pretty much anything else in this size range. Density comes in at 1464, which is genuinely high, and at the largest size youre looking at 51,260 stitches across a 7.5 inch width. I built it in my digitising suite and the water texturing uses fill variation rather than flat satin sections, which is what gives the splash its depth. Comes in 9 sizes, smallest at 3.49 inches wide, and stitch count starts at 19,426 even at the small end because of all the water detail.

Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser on this one, no cutting corners there. The density is high enough that a tearaway will pull before the stitching is done on the dense sections. Cotton and canvas take it well, jersey works if youve got a good stabiliser underneath. A customer messaged me last June about the satin density on the strawberry, sent a photo of it on her cream canvas aprons and they looked genuinely brilliant.

5 colours total: the red strawberry body, lighter red highlights, the green cap, white for the water droplets, and a pale blue for the main splash. Keep thread tension consistent or the water sections start looking messy. Try it on white or cream, the whole composition pops on a light background.
