Vintage Bicycle Sunset Embroidery Design, Instant Download

I made this one back in february after a customer kept asking for something that felt nostalgic but still worked on modern fabric colours. The bicycle is that classic diamond-frame road bike shape, you know it instantly, and the sunset behind it is digitised in five colours with directional fill stitches that give the sky its layered glow. Stitch counts run from 16,943 at the chest baseline up to 46,169 at the largest, so Heres the thing: this isnt a quick little fill job. Its built properly with underlay laid down first so the satin layers sit clean and dont sink into the fabric weave.

Nine sizes from 3.5 to top 7.5 mean you can run it on a jacket back, a tote, a pillow cover, or a small left chest placement. The density sits at 866 stitches per square centimetre aswell, which is medium-heavy, good for medium to heavyweight fabrics like denim, canvas, or a thick cotton twill. Pair it with a cutaway stabiliser on stretchy material and youre sorted. And if you want to use a topping on towelling or fleece, the sky gradients still read clearly because the colour bands are wide enough. Dont skimp on the stabiliser though, five colours means five thread changes and the hoop needs to stay still.

I get messages pretty regularly from people who stitch this on linen tote bags and say the coral-orange pops more than they expected. Alot of them are using it on canvas pouches too. So its genuinely versatile for something thats also quite specific in what it shows. The my standard software digitising means the stitch paths are efficient, fewer jumps, cleaner bobbin side. But for best results, use a fresh 75/11 needle and decent polyester thread for the metallic amber tones. Skip a blunt needle, it splits the satin fills on the horizon band and youll see it immediately on the test swatch.

Holler if you need a resize or something isnt opening right and Ill get it sorted fast.
