Machine time

about 1 minSingle-needle home machine Estimate

Multi-needle machine: about 1 min

A range, not a promise: stitches ÷ effective speed, plus one pause per colour change. Adjust it to your machine.

Adjust speed and pauses

Hooping, stabilizer and threading are not included (typically 5–15 min). Nominal speeds from manufacturer specifications (e.g. Janome MC500E 400–860 spm). Effective speed is lower.

Before you start & guidance for your fabric
  1. Load the file for this size and check the machine reads the right format.
  2. Choose a hoop the design fits in with margin; do not scale the design to force it.
  3. Prepare the threads in the order below; some colours come back later in the sequence.
  4. Hoop fabric and stabilizer together, flat and without stretching.
  5. Use a fresh embroidery needle; stitch a test on a scrap of the same fabric if in doubt.

Guidance for your fabric

The heavier the fabric and the denser the design, the heavier the stabilizer. Cut-away is the safer choice for knits and high stitch counts; tear-away suits stable wovens.

Needle: an embroidery needle (75/11 or 90/14) with rayon or polyester embroidery thread; a metallic needle for metallic threads. Size depends on thread and fabric, not on the stitch count.

General guidance from stabilizer and needle manufacturers' guides (OESD, Sulky, Madeira, SCHMETZ). It does not replace a test on your own fabric. No tension values are given: they depend on your machine.

About this design

Martha Font Embroidery Design: a full alphabet for names, monograms and short phrases. The letters are built to join without the finishing stitches overlapping.

Sizes and stitch counts

Check the specifications on this page for dimensions and stitch counts. Select a design or size, where available, to view its thread colours and stitching order.

Formats and machines

The download includes 6 formats, among them PES, JEF, EXP, HUS, VP3, VIP, so it runs on Brother, Janome, Husqvarna, Bernina and Pfaff with no conversion.

Before you stitch

Keep letters above 15 mm tall. Below that the satin columns get too narrow and the thread starts to bury itself.

This design is free: the full download, no watermark, every format included.
