Tonight We Fly Chicken Witch Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A round fluffy chicken in a witch hat, riding broom through the night sky with the kind of expression that says she has been doing this every halloween for decades. The feather detailing is proper directional stitching, not a flat fill, and the 14 colours give you everything from the speckled body to the bright red comb to the black hat with its buckle. Its one of those farm-animal-meets-spooky mashups that people love for this time of year.

Nine sizes in the file, smallest fits a 3.5 inch hoop, largest needs the 7.5, heights run 3.03 to 6.48 inches. The stitch range is 19,641 at the lower end through 43,547 at the largest, density is 895 and the colour changes hit 14 total. my usual software set up the punch, the feather sections use underlay work so they dont flatten out on thicker fabrics.

I get orders for this starting in late September, it comes back every year like clockwork. A customer told me last week she stitched it on a trick-or-treat bag for her daughter and added a little moon behind the chicken with extra thread. I love when people do that. People who have chickens or live on farms order this one in particular, theres something about putting your actual chickens personality onto a tote that resonates.

Run cutaway behind canvas and denim for this one because of the stitch density. The satin work on the hat brim and the buckle detail are the trickiest sections so slow your machine down there. Try it on black or charcoal fabric and let those 14 colours really come through in the contrast. Orange and cream cotton are great for a warmer fall feel aswell. Skip anything too pale or printed, the 14 thread colours need a clean solid base to show up properly.
