About this design
Owl shows a little night bird drawn in a cartoon style, perched on a slim branch with a few leaves. The plumage mixes cream, beige and brown tones, with wings outlined in gold, an orange beak and large eyes ringed in burgundy that give it a curious look. The strong outlines keep the design readable even at a small size.
At 67 × 69 mm it suits a bib, a pencil case or the pocket of a child's sweatshirt. On knit fabric, use a cut-away stabiliser and choose a plain light background, ecru or soft blue, so the warm browns of this machine embroidery stand out.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 8 threads: cream, brown, white, gold, burgundy, salmon, brown, beige. 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: cream → brown → white → gold → burgundy → salmon → brown → burgundy → brown → cream → gold → beige → white. The machine stops at each thread change (12 changes, 55 trims).
- Allow about 27 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 13,312 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.
