We Are on a Break Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Big bold stacked lettering saying WE ARE ON A BREAK sits in the centre, the kind of slab-serif that reads from across the room. Around the text theres a ring of tropical bits and pieces: palm leaves framing each side, a small cocktail glass, and a few little decorative icons that tie it into a badge-style composition. Eight colours doing the work: bright coral on the main text, coconut white fill inside the letter forms, golden yellow accents, teal for the cocktail, dark olive palms, warm peach on the drop shadow, navy for the outer outline, and hot pink on some of the smaller details. Its bold and the colour story holds together without becoming messy.

Four sizes, widths from 3.81 to 6.09 inches, heights from 5.01 to 8.01 inches so its a taller composition than wide at every size. Stitch counts between 19,493 and 34,988, density 717. Use a firm stabiliser behind woven fabric and a heavy cutaway on any stretch or jersey. Dont try this on a tearaway on any fabric with give. my professional tool laid the underlay for the slab-serif columns so they stand upright without leaning on softer fabrics. A customer stitched the 5-inch onto a matching set of crew necks for a group holiday last august, her whole friend group wore them at the airport and she said they kept getting stopped by strangers asking where the shirts were from. Ive had similar reports from hen party groups since then. Thats the kind of design that pays for itself in visibility.

Best on medium-to-heavy cotton or sweatshirt fleece where the slab text stays upright. Layer a tearaway under the main cutaway when hooping fleece to stop drag at needle entry. Skip lightweight fabrics below 150gsm at the large size, the slab columns need a stable foundation.
