Whimsical Girl with Balloon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The hair is what you notice first. Its enormous, going in every direction, and its not one colour, its basically seven or eight different thread colours all tangled together in long flowing strands. Blue, yellow, pink, green, all radiating out like the girl just walked through a wind tunnel. Then theres the balloon above her, striped in similar colours, and the little dress and tights below that are also striped. The whole design is very consistently chaotic, which is a word combination that doesnt N make much sense until you actually see it stitched out.

Plotted in industry tools. The hair strand colours come out independent because the routing runs 14 colour changes in the right order so they dont bleed into each other during the run. 15 colours total, 25,465 stitches at 4.1 inches wide, 45,342 at the largest 6.84-inch hoop. The density is set at 884, which gives the hair sections enough coverage without making the whole thing stiff on lighter fabrics.

Cream canvas totes are a good match for this one. A customer wrote me to say theyd stitched the 6.5-in build on a natural cotton tote for their daughters art class bag, the multi-colour hair came out really vivid. Cutaway stabiliser, medium weight. On anything stretchy like a jersey knit, add a water-soluble topping over the hair area or the thin satin strands will sink into the fabric texture.

Pick this for birthday shirts, kids room cushions, or book bags. Avoid hooping directly on thick fleece without a topping. Stitch the tights and dress sections at a slightly slower speed so the satin columns sit down flat, they read as proper stripes in the finished piece and rushing that section can give you surface gaps.
