Stylish Coffee Cup Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

What I really liked about digitising this one is how the cup and the word sit as one shape. The big looping "Coffee" script in cream white satin runs right over the cup, the descenders of the double-f cutting down into the orange tatami fill below. Bold black outlines hold every edge clean. The cup holds swirling concentric segments in burnt orange, amber gold, and a strip of pale yellow near the base. Two steam wisps in matching orange and pale gold curl up behind the capital C. Its basically a cafe poster squeezed into a hoop.

Cutaway on anything with any stretch at all, tearaway works on tight woven cotton or canvas twill. Ive stitched this on a heavy linen tea towel and the satin columns on the script stayed crisp because linen doesnt distort under the bobbin tension the way jersey does. The 3.11 x 3.5 inch version at 6,817 stitches is the one to put on a mug rug or apron pocket, tidy without losing the retro cafe feel. Last week a woman who runs a kitchen-gifts market stall asked about customising this for her canvas tote bags, she said customers clock it immediately from across her table. The density sits at 384 stitches per cm so theres alot going on thread-wise, but the directional fill handles it without big jump stitches as long as you sort your stabiliser first.

Stitch with a medium-weight bobbin thread in cream underneath those white satin columns. Add a light topping over waffle-weave fabric so the tatami fill doesnt sink into the texture and lose the amber gradient. Skip hooping jersey too tight or you get puckering around the underlay once the piece relaxes off the hoop. Pop a firm cutaway under fleece corners and the concentric cup fill comes out sharp every time.
