Tropical Sunset Embroidery Design, Ocean Palm Tree Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

This is the highest stitch count design in this tropical series and thats because the sky gradient needs actual stitched depth to read properly on fabric. At density 183, the sky fill is really dense, five colour zones, the orange, coral, yellow, deep teal upper sky, and the dark silhouette palm, and they need to be laid down in the right sequence or the blending goes flat. I digitised this in industry software last february and the key insight was digitising the sky fills bottom-up so each layer slightly overlaps the one below, giving the illusion of a gradient without any applique or blending technique. Email me if you want to know the exact colour thread numbers I used and Ill share them.

Nine spans 3.5 scaling to 7.5 wide 7.5 inch end. Stitch range is 1,085 to 66,389 at the largest size, thats alot of stitches for the full size, so use a proper cutaway stabiliser and dont try to rush it on the largest placement. Topping is worth it on anything textured because on a high-density fill like this the underlay will sink into a pile surface and you wont get the colour definition you want. The palm satin columns on the trunk need a consistent bobbin tension so check your bobbin before you start.

I had a customer place an order last week who was making a set of beach themed tote bags for a resort gift shop, she wanted a 5-inch chest on natural jute bags and it looked exactly right. She said the orange came out warmer than she expected which was a nice surprise. Use a tearaway on natural jute or linen, the density holds fine and tearaway removal is easier than cutaway on those fabrics. Load the orange and coral threads first, stitch background-to-foreground, and leave the palm silhouette and outline for last.

Pop this on a linen cushion cover at the 6-inch size and it reads like you bought it somewhere expensive. Email me if any of the files dont open properly and Ill sort it.
