Baking embroidery designs

Baking embroidery designs with croissants, bread loaves, pies, whisks and rolling pins, drawn in house in golden browns and creams with a dark satin outline. Free and premium bakery files come as PES, JEF, EXP, VP3 and DST, with the thread colors named on every design page.

Many aprons are canvas or twill, so a sharp needle and a medium tear-away keep the layered crust lines crisp.

These baking embroidery designs celebrate the bakery: a flaky croissant, a bread loaf, a pie, a whisk and a rolling pin. In the croissant, each layer has its own outline, and the outlines are sewn in tiers, so the curves read cleanly without bulky joins. Whisk wires are drawn as chunky satin lines rather than thin threads.

A 95 mm loaf fits a linen bread bag in a 4x4 hoop, and the 125 mm pie fills the bib of an apron. Kitchen towels, bread basket liners and gifts for a home baker suit them too, as do potholders if you stitch the top fabric before quilting.

Chef hats and crossed spoons are in the chef and baker designs, and turkeys and pumpkins to go with the pies are in the Thanksgiving designs. For cupcakes and donuts, see the sweets and desserts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I embroider a linen bread bag?

Wash and dry the linen first, because it shrinks. Embroider the front piece before you sew the bag, with a tear-away on firm linen or a light cut-away on a loose weave, and a sharp 75/11 needle. Stitch with polyester, since a bread bag goes through the wash again and again.

Which baking designs suit Christmas cookie season?

Rolling pins, whisks and loaves are good choices for gift towels and aprons in the holiday baking season. Start in October so the gifts are ready for cookie exchanges, and add gingerbread men and candy canes from the Christmas designs.
