Trendy Woman Face Embroidery Design, Instant Download

My sister ran this one on a tote bag last month and I honestly thought it was a screen print until I looked close. The hair is the bit that does it, dense black satin stitching with directional variations between sections so it reads like actual strands rather than a solid fill. Closed eyes with individual fan lashes in black, strong brow filled in brown, full woman lips in a warm red-brown tone. The face is left in a light fill so the contrast between the black hair mass and the white skin reads like a fashion illustration poster, the kind you see in style magazines from the nineties.

5 sizes, 2.13 inches wide up to 4.55, heights go from 3.51 to 7.51 inches. The smallest is 21,798 stitches and at the full 4.55-inch width it hits 52,919. Density on this one is 1,549, thats the highest of anything in my hair-and-face range, its what makes the hair strands hold their texture at the smaller sizes. Run a layer of medium to heavy cutaway under your fabric before you start, a dense build like this will pucker without proper backing. 3 colour changes, 4 stops, 84 trims at the smallest size rising to 94 at the largest.

Ive done this on black canvas bags where the face pops against the dark base and the look goes more graphic and high-contrast. Also nice on cream linen where the brown lip colour reads warmer. Avoid jersey without a medium cutaway and a topping, the fan lashes will sink into anything with surface nap. Slow your machine down on the hair fills, those directional satin sections at this density will skip if you run them fast. Press from the back when youre done, face-down on a thick towel so the lash rows dont flatten out.
