Teacher Apple Script Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Apple shape but the entire body of the apple is built from the word Teacher in flowing cursive script. The flourishes loop and curl into the apple silhouette itself, you read the word first and then realise oh, thats also the fruit. Single green satin leaf and a curling stem sit on top. Two colours total, red and green, dead simple to thread up. And honestly this is one of those designs that looks alot more complex than it actually is to stitch.

Stitch counts run 5,417 at the smallest 2.51-inch size up to 13,677 at the 5.5-inch. Density measures 544, sits on the lighter end of medium which is right for script-heavy work because heavier density would make the cursive flourishes blob into each other. Four sizes total. So if you need an in-between, just message me. I digitised this in industry software with satin columns following the natural pen-stroke direction of the cursive, which keeps the thick-thin contrast of real brush lettering. But the trick is the underlay is run as a perpendicular tatami beneath the satin, so the columns dont sink into stretchy knit fabric.

One customer ordered five of these at the 4-inch size last august for back-to-school week, stitched them onto cream canvas zipper pouches with each teachers name underneath in a small block font. She said her sons class moms group chat suprised her with five more orders that night.

Best fabrics, cotton canvas, kona quilters cotton, linen, cotton-poly tote material. Skip terrycloth, the script curls are too fine for the loop pile to register. Use medium tearaway stabiliser on woven fabrics, fusible mesh cutaway if youre running this on a polo or sweatshirt. Pop a layer of water-soluble topping on any textured ground. And keep your bobbin tension on the light side because the red satin needs to sit clean on the surface without pulling the bobbin show-through up. Thats my honest take, dont overthink it.
