XOXO Valentine Hearts Embroidery Design, Instant Download

XOXO with hearts worked right into the lettering. The X shapes and O shapes each have a small heart integrated into em, so when you step back the whole composition reads as a love message and a stacked visual pattern at the same time. Three colours total, the letters have a bold satin fill body and a clean edge outline, and the hearts inside the letterforms get a slightly contrasting shade so they read separately even at small sizes.

Around 28,500 stitches at the largest 5.9 inch size, smallest comes in at just over 12,000. The density sits at 648 which is solid but not extreme, and theres only 2 thread changes during the whole run so its faster to stitch than the count suggests. Cutaway stabiliser is my go-to for anything with this much typography coverage, dont skip that part or the edges of the letters wont sit crisp.

Honestly it suprised me how well this one sells year round after valentines day, I get lots of orders for anniversary gifts, galentines parties and one customer last year ordered it specifically for a first valentines together shirt for her girlfriend. Simple idea. Effective design.

Stitch on white, cream or light blush fabric for the standard look. Navy or black also works really well if you want it feeling less like a card and more like a fashion statement. Use the 5.9 inch build placed on a shirt chest or the 4 inch version for a left chest pocket placement. Hoop tight, let the machine do the rest.
