About this design
Bubbling Cauldron shows a small, round black cauldron standing on three feet, filled with a light green brew that spills gently over the rim. Four green bubbles float above it, and a smiling face with pink cheeks and wide white eyes brings the pot to life. The style is cartoon-like, with thick outlines, soft curves and a short palette: dark grey, black, light green, pale pink and white.
At 51 × 71 mm it works nicely on a pencil case, a small Halloween tote bag or the front of a child's sweatshirt. For machine embroidery, use a tear-away stabiliser on firmer fabrics and pick a light or orange background so the black cauldron stands out.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 6 threads: dark grey, black, light green, dark grey, pale pink, white. The names give the closest shade; pick the one you like in your thread brand.
- Hoop the fabric in a 10 × 10 cm hoop with a stabiliser: tear-away for woven fabric (cotton, linen, canvas), cut-away for stretchy fabric (T-shirt, sweatshirt, bodysuit).
- Stitch the colours in this order: dark grey → black → light green → dark grey → pale pink → white → black → dark grey → dark grey. The machine stops at each thread change (8 changes, 36 trims).
- Allow about 17 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 8,377 stitches in all.
- For another size, open the design in the studio rather than enlarging it on the machine: the stitches are recalculated and the density stays right.
