Keeping with the theme of my previous post, I’ve been sketching up and stitching more quick weekend project patterns to embroider onto baby onesies. I like this one, because it can be whipped out extremely quickly without having to switch between colors (a tough thing to accomplish when there’s a baby on me while I’m stitching!)

Tips & Tricks for Embroidering “Amazing Heart” onto a Onesie
Once again, I opted to stitch this entire pattern in stem stitch, in part because I simply love this easy stitch, and in part because the stem stitch leaves less thread on the backside of the fabric. This is important when you want to avoid thread chafing against your baby’s skin!
I also used two layers of fusible interfacing on the back of the fabric. I ironed the first layer onto the onesie BEFORE I began to stitch. This helps to keep the fabric from stretching out of shape while I work with the thread.
Next, I ironed a second layer of interfacing onto the onesie AFTER I finished stitching. This holds the stitching in place better and also makes the inside of the onesie smoother feeling for baby. Here’s what the back of the fabric will look like when finished…
I tried out this pattern with a variegated red thread. In order to keep the changing red hues aligned well, I began below the “A” in “Amazing,” worked my way across the word, and then came back down to the heart.
Truthfully, I’m not 100% happy with the result. I think if I did this pattern again, I’d keep to a single-color thread instead of a variegated one. I don’t know… anyone else have an opinion on how this came out? Let me know!
