About this design
Little Vampire shows a small smiling character giving a wink, with black hair in a point on the forehead, two little fangs and a wide black cape lined with red. The outlines are clean and dark, in a simple cartoon style, with soft greys and white shaping the face.
At 63 × 71 mm, it works nicely on a pouch, a Halloween tote bag or the front of a child's sweatshirt. Choose a light background, pearl grey or ecru, so the black cape stands out, and add a tear-away stabiliser underneath: this machine embroidery runs to around 11,300 stitches and likes fabric hooped firmly.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 6 threads: black, white, red, black, dark grey, grey. 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: black → white → red → black → dark grey → black → red → black → grey. The machine stops at each thread change (8 changes, 29 trims).
- Allow about 21 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 11,303 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.
