Sunflower Dachshund Embroidery Design, Dog Lover Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The left side is alot of sunflower, big long petals radiating out from a dense centre, really packed in tight. And the right side is pure dachshund world, little sausage dog silhouettes running and sitting, paw prints scattered around, bones, hearts, an I love script near the top and then that Dachshund banner curling across the bottom. Its all inside a circle so it reads as one cohesive piece even though theres so much going on.

Only 2 colours, black and white, which might suprised you given how detailed it looks. All the visual interest comes from stitch direction and density changes. The sunflower petals use directional tatami fill running parallel to each petal edge so theyve got that slightly raised, almost textured look. The dog figures are done with finer satin outlines so they pop against the fill sections. Its honestly more complex to digitise than it looks on the surface.

Comes in 4 sizes, 5 inch up to 8 inch square, stitch counts going from around 27,000 up to nearly 49,000 on the biggest. Dont skimp on the stabiliser here, use a proper cutaway because the density is high enough that tearaway can distort on stretch fabrics especially at the larger sizes.

I get messages from dachshund owners all the time asking for designs that really nail the breed personality. This one does it. A customer last summer put the 6 inch onto a cream canvas tote and it basically became her signature bag around the dog park. Shes ordered 2 more since for gifts.

Best results on white, cream or light grey fabrics where that black thread really pops. Stitch it centred on a tee chest, on a tote, or use the 5 inch on a pillow cover. Avoid anything too textured since the fine satin details on the dogs wont hold sharpness on thick terry or waffle weave. Holler if you hit any issues with the file and Ill get it sorted.
