Trick Or Tequila Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Pulled together the halloween bar humour angle with this one and went full typographic. Trick sits at the top in wide thick satin letters, orange the colour of an actual pumpkin. Tequila runs across the bottom in the same weight and shade. Slotted in between them is Or in a looping purple swirl script, that purple-against-orange contrast is what makes the whole thing pop. A small solid black bat floats right above the Or, wings spread, no fill detail, just a clean silhouette. To the right of Or theres a tiny dark shot glass with a lime wedge perched on the rim. Bottom-right corner gets a small witch broom as the punctuation mark on the whole joke. 4 colours total: orange, purple, black, dark grey.

Main text is satin-filled with a density of 375 stitches per square inch, which keeps the orange letters looking rich and smooth without being too heavy for lighter fabric. The purple Or uses a tighter satin fill on the curved stroke sections so the loops dont flatten out mid-stitch. the digitising software did the digitising and the letter outlines have a clean edge even at the smallest 2.01 inch wide size. 6 sizes available, that smallest runs 3,741 stitches, the full 7-inch wide version hits 15,188.

The proportions run roughly 7 wide by 5.77 tall at the largest size, so it suits chest panels, bag fronts and wide pillow faces rather than small sleeve details. A customer wanted the 5-in design for a dark orange cotton tee for a halloween bar crawl she was organising for a group of 12, she ordered the file once and her friend ran the batch on their home machine. Thats exactly the kind of run it fits well, group event gear thats quick to replicate.

Best on black, deep charcoal or dark navy so the orange pops hard. Burnt sienna or olive can work if you want the orange to feel more earthy. Use tearaway stabiliser on woven cotton shirts and totes. For knit shirts go with a cutaway to stop the dense orange satin from pulling the neckline. Avoid white or pale fabrics where the pumpkin orange reads washed out rather than bold. Skip any topping on smooth woven cotton, its not needed at this density.

Stitch the big version on sweatshirt chests for an october night out, Add it to a halloween party apron, or Run it on a tote for the person who prefers their halloween with a margarita.
