About this design
Clumsy Little Witch shows a small girl in a large pointed plum hat, trimmed with an orange band and a golden buckle. She rides a broom with an orange handle, her plum cape and striped dress trailing behind, laced boots kicking out and a cheeky smile under a brown fringe. The drawing is simple, with flat blocks of colour, like a little comic illustration.
At 62 × 67 mm, she suits an October tote bag, a pencil case or the front pocket of a child's sweatshirt. On knits, use a cut-away stabiliser and a water-soluble topping to keep the outlines crisp. A cream, mustard or light grey background shows off the plum of this machine embroidery nicely.
How to stitch it
- Prepare 6 threads: plum, plum, beige, gold, brown, 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: plum → plum → beige → gold → brown → white → plum → gold → beige → plum → white. The machine stops at each thread change (10 changes, 41 trims).
- Allow about 20 minutes at 700 stitches per minute, 9,729 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.
