Sun Salt Sand and Coconut Tree Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

This is a stacked word-art design built around a retro sunset circle. The phrase is stacked in bold block letters filling the circle, with 2 silhouette palm trees on either side and scattered shells and a starfish at the base. The sunset behind the text runs from amber to coral in 3 gradient stops, run through my main software using tatami fill on the large colour zones and satin column edges tracing the letter outlines. 4 colours total with 3 colour changes, and its one of the faster sequences to run on a domestic machine.

Density is 754 across the filled sections, which is a good middle ground for terry cloth or canvas without getting too stiff. The lettering uses a textured underlay pass before the top satin so the letters sit proud of the fabric surface rather than flattening in. Ive stitched this onto terry towels and the text holds shape even after several washes, which honestly suprised me the first time. Available in 9 widths, smallest at 3.5 in and largest at 7.5 in, stitch counts from 13,940 to 34,780. Canvas or heavy twill with a cutaway stabiliser gives solid results and thats whats worked best for me. Avoid tearaway backing on anything where the dense lettering will put stress on the stabiliser layer during wear, it wont hold as well.

D Email me if you cant get the file to open, just send me a message with your machine software and I can check which format works. its the kind of design that moves alot in summer, beach bags and holiday gifts mostly. I get messages about this one from people doing holiday hampers and beach event merch. One customer stitched it onto a natural canvas tote last valentines day as part of a beach gift set and came back to order 3 more sizes. My go-to combo is the 5 in version on a navy terry towel, it handles the looped surface really well with a topping sheet over the loops. Try it on charcoal twill for a slightly more grown-up beach look. Pair with a rope handle tote for summer market season.
