{"product_id":"botanical-floral-border-butterflies","title":"Botanical Floral Border with Butterflies Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts a meadow scene done as a border, the kind that runs along the hem of a dress or across the top of a tote without taking over the whole piece. Stems come up at different heights so it never looks like a flat row, some flowers are tall and nodding, others short and clustered at the base. Theres daisies with open petals and dark centres, cosmos with wide simple heads, echinacea with the spiky cone showing, alliums with their round ball heads on long straight stems, lavender spikes, and what looks like a wild pansy or two tucked in near the bottom edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove the flower tops, butterflies and dragonflies float loose in the space, not posed symmetrically, just scattered like they actually landed mid-flight. The butterfly wings have enough outline detail to read clearly even on the smaller sizes. One of the butterflies near the right side is a monarch-style shape, wings spread wide, and it anchors that side of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle thread colour is a big part of the appeal. Everyhting in black reads as clean hand-drawn botanical illustration rather than a coloured pattern. Swap the black for a dark navy, forest green, or burgundy and the whole mood shifts without changing anything else. A customer who sells at a farmers market wrote me last spring asking whether this would work on narrow linen pouches, and honestly the 6-inch size fits right across the end of a standard flour-sack towel with room to breathe on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun on a woven ground with no stretch. Use a tear-away stabiliser on firm cotton and the outline stitching will sit flat and clean from start to finish. Dont hoop knits or anything with surface pile, the running-stitch sections between petals need the fabric locked still or youll get gaps. Stitch on white, natural, or any light solid fabric and the single black thread does all the work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186796712086,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/BotanicalFloralBorderwithButterfliesEmbroideryDesign.jpg?v=1768811363","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/botanical-floral-border-butterflies","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
