Take Every Chance Drop Every Fear Embroidery Design, Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Four butterflies, each a different colour, purple, rose pink, silver grey, and lavender, sit inside curved wing-shaped outlines that form one big butterfly silhouette around the whole design. Thats the frame. Then right in the centre, stacked line by line in that bold chunky rounded lettering, it reads "Take every chance drop every fear." The text sits in satin stitch with a dense directional fill and a slight underlay pass underneath, which is what keeps those thick letterforms crisp even on softer fabrics. Five sizes from 3.5 to 7.5 inches wide, and honestly the range covers alot of placement options.

Stitch the large 7.5 inch across a canvas tote back or a denim jacket back panel, its got enough real estate to really land the quote. The 4 inch drops onto a bibbed apron pocket without crowding the edge, nice and balanced. Pop it on a cotton fleece hoodie front, hoop it with a cutaway stabiliser and topping on terry or any looped fabric, the tatami fill on those butterfly wings needs that extra grip or the loops pull through. A tight fill on the butterfly bodies gives them a slightly raised look against the flat background, its kinda satisfying when you pull it off the hoop.

A woman who runs an embroidery booth at craft fairs told me last week she stitched this onto cream linen tote bags for a graduation market, sold out before lunch. I get that, its one of those designs where the words do the work, the butterflies just make it pretty. Pair it with a light pink or white base fabric and those 4 butterfly colours really pop, especially the purple against natural linen. Use a stabiliser that matches the base weight, lightweight tearaway on woven cotton, cutaway on any stretch jersey.

Skip heavy topping on the quote letters themselves, the satin stitch is tight enough that it dosent need it. Place the design centred both ways on any square-ish item and it reads as a complete composition, the curved wing outlines basically act as a natural border. Iron the stabiliser tabs flat before hooping, gets you a cleaner result every time on thicker canvas or twill.

Holler at me if the outline wont sit clean.
