I just came across a wide variety of truck embroidery designs at Joann Designs – Type “trucks” in the search space. These downloadable machine embroidery designs had some unique applique tire tankers. The gravel truck embroidery design, hay truck embroidery design and the pickup embroidery design are also well done. This particular design next to this post is a pickup and if you notice, a lot of details have gone into it, like the shadow below the truck and the translucent front glass through which we can see the front seat of the truck. All these effects have come in through simple colour combinations which gives the entire embroidery design a 3-D effect.

If you recollect, I had written about the amazing silk embroidery designs, where the threads were so fine that the final design looked like a photograph. I now introduce you to the impressionist photograph or sketch design done through your embroidery machine. This is called the photo-stitch technique and is reminiscent of pencil or crayon sketches, rather than embroidery. If you take the example of this girl, the entire design is done in 10-12 layers of stitches. The first couple of layers are just the skin on her face. The next few would focus on features like eyes, nose and ears. Then would come the finishing touches to the hair, making the entire embroidery design more dense. Each of these layers are stitched one after the other. You can liken it to a far away blurred image slowly focusing and coming into the foreground. The final output looks awesome and complex, but it is actually done in 12 easy layers. (like they say, the only way to chew an elephant is to bite it into small pieces)

Click here for free tutorials on the photo-stitch design. Details of choice of the right fabric, stabilizer and method of hooping is elaborately described here. For this particular girl, the size of the hoop is 89.0 x 152.7 mm, the total number of stitches is 45001 and there are 12 colors used. This photo-stitch embroidery design can be freely downloaded using *.ART *.DST *.HUS *.JEF *.PES *.VIP *.XXX and the information on machine embroidery would come in handy here.

Just check this wonderful resource on wheaten terrier embroidery designs at ABC Cross Stitch Patterns. Aren’t they cute? Most of the designs here are done using machine embroidery and some of them using cross stitch embroidery techniques. All of the dog embroideries are done exceptionally well. I found the small doggies set ideal for baby embroidery designs. Of the rest, the “Love You” and “Naughty Dog” embroidery designs need special mention.

Naughty Dog, which you find next to this post is built of 17 colors with dimensions of 70w X 98h. The expressions of the dog comes out through this piece of art. This pattern is available in all machine formats like art, pes, pec, hus, jef, dst, exp, xxx, vip, shv.
