Hearts is a PDF pattern made up of what I’ve been calling filler stitches, embroidery stitches arranged in a repeat pattern to fill an area. You’ll find they’re mostly of the straight stitch variety, making the hearts easy and fun to embroider.
The design fits in an 8-inch embroidery hoop, but can also be split up and the hearts used individually. And because it’s a digital download, there’s no wait for shipping. You can enjoy stitching these beginner-friendly little hearts today.
