Triple Ballerina Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three ballerinas spread across the frame, each one hitting a slightly different position. Left dancer leans forward with one arm up and the leg kicked behind. Centre dancer is more upright, both arms lifted, tutu sitting level. Right one goes into a deeper side stretch with the back leg high and one arm reaching out. Theyre not identical copies, each pose is its own thing, which stops it looking like a clipart repeat. The whole design is 7.5 inches wide at the biggest size and only 4 inches tall, so its specifically built for a chest panel or a wide tote front, not a pocket spot.

The tutus are the standout element. Each one fans out in radiating satin columns from the waistband to the outer edge, so the pleated layered look is built into the stitch direction and not just implied. Cream and off-white, not pink, which gives the whole thing a classical feel, not a cartoon one. Skin tone is warm peach, hair is dark brown with outline detail, shoes are black with a small highlight dot at the toe.

Reach out if the tutu radiating lines look uneven or if any dancer leans off-centre after stitching and Ill tighten the satin run. Ive had a few notes on this from people using thinner jersey, and in each case its been a hooping issue rather than the file. The outlines sit crisp on stable fabric, but they can shift if the hoop isnt drum-tight going in. Earlier this year one customer stitched it on pale pink polycotton for a 6-inch dance recital bag and posted the photo. It looked really clean across the whole panel. At 20,473 stitches on the 7.5-inch top size, its detailed for a 5-colour build.

Works on white, pale pink or cream cotton twill. Use medium cutaway stabiliser under the tutu sections and hoop firmly. Avoid heavy surface texture because the satin columns need a flat base to stay clean and readable.
