ISO Skull with Memento Mori worked into design. I think I must be hallucinating because I thought I had a design like this but no. I would like to embroider this onto a chiffon scarf and am looking for a single color design that is not too dense. Any thoughts? If any digitizers can do this for me I'm willing to pay a modest sum. Thanks in advance.

Just bumping this up the page.

Thank you!!!

Hi. I don't know if you have already sorted a design but just by chance I looked further into a site that I had not come across in any search but was posted here today in relation to a freebie. I have posted the site link below. In the left column, go to 'Tattoo' and then 'Tattoo & Tribal Style.' You will find one skull design on pages 3,7,17,21 and eight skull designs on page 14. I don't think that any of these will create stitch density issues. There is one further design on page 1 of 'Misc. Motifs.' Unfortunately, none of the designs has any text included but you may be able to get around this. Prices for each design are in the region of $3.00

Wow. Thanks so much. Some of those are scary looking! I think I might find one that will work.

Did you already see the one in DBC? It was done by Manami (Yoriko) from Cute Embroidery who also has her own site, http://www.mygardened.com/index.p...
you might talk her into incorporating the Memento Mori into her design. This one would definitely work on chiffon.

I have continued my quest to try and find something that meets your needs but I have to report that other than those already brought to you attention, I have found nothing else apart from some obscure sites that I was not aware of. If you do go down the route of asking for outside help on this, it might be worthwhile for you to have a look at some of the designs under tattooing. Google Memento Mori tattoo designs for some adeas but I don't know how you might stand on rhe copyright issue. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Thank you so much Dennis. Hopefully I can find a digitizer somewhere. Personally, I think it would be a good seller if someone wanted to do it.

Maybe this one from DBC works? Not sure how it looks in one color. Or just the design from the sugar skull pincushion from Urban?
Don't know which size you are looking for...
Greetings, Bettina

Thanks. They might work! I guess I can just do the words separately.

I think at one time this was a freebie , not any longer. Would this work?

I like it, but I think the eyes will be too dense. Thanks.

Since I have the design, I took the eye/fill out , didn't have any effect on the design. I just did this in a program not stitching it out.

Try googling "machine embroidery sugar skull". Here's a blackwork one that may/may not work

I have to confess my ignorance but what exactly is an ISO Skull etc., just so that I know what to be looking for during my usual searches.

ISO = in search of
How can you know what you don't know? At least that's what I always tell myself. ;)

This is commemorative of the Day of the Dead or Día de los muertos it's a very big especially Latin celebration. A little bit like our Halloween, but more to remember lost love ones. Shrines are built with the favorite things of the loved one placed on them, like cigarettes, liquor, cakes, perfume, etc. There is quite a large one in Atlanta, Georgia, USA that I have attended with much interest as my daughter-in-law is Latina. ;)

Thank you. I guess you're never too old to learn. Now, interestingly, I have seen something like this with very similar wording during one of my searches. All I now need to do is rack my brains to remember where.

by KrystynasWorld 23 May 2013

Yes. Sorry for the ISO. And that is exactly why I was searching for it. But I wish there was one that had the words Memento Mori worked into the skull.

Urban Threads has one of course but it's very girly.

I have that one, but I think it's a little too dense for chiffon. Thank you nonetheless!
