Split Machine Embroidery Designs
This category features Split machine embroidery designs, a distinctive STFA two-part design format created as a matched left-and-right set. Split designs are intentionally divided down the middle so that each half stitches separately and comes together to form a complete image when aligned.
Split embroidery designs were originally created for zip-up hoodies, where one half stitches on the left side and the other on the right. When the hoodie is zipped closed, the two halves meet to reveal a full design—most often a character face or central image. When unzipped, each side stands alone while still reading clearly as part of a larger whole.
Over time, stitchers have found many creative uses for Split designs beyond hoodies. Some customers use a single half to create a “peek around” effect on hand towels or garments, while others use both halves on bags or projects that zip down the middle. Split designs also work well anywhere a seam, zipper, or fold naturally divides a surface.
STFA Split embroidery patterns are professionally digitized to ensure precise alignment, clean stitching, and strong visual impact. Designs are optimized so each half works independently while still forming a cohesive image when brought together.
All designs in this category are digital downloads only. No physical items are shipped. Files are available for instant download after purchase and may be reused for your own personal projects.
