Botanical Floral Outline Border Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Much denser than your typical outline border. Tall poppy heads with their crinkle-petal silhouette, flat open daisy faces, lacy cluster heads that look like Queen Anne's lace or yarrow, and a mix of long narrow leaves and rounded ones filling every gap in between. Stems cross over each other the way a real meadow actually looks, not arranged in neat rows. The whole panel stands 9 to 12 inches tall depending on size, which makes it feel like a proper botanical print rather than a trim. Im realy pleased with how much variety the digitiser packed into a single-colour design here.

Single colour, single thread bobbin setup. Density at 296 is heavier than a light outline, but still within the range a firm tearaway handles under woven cotton or linen without trouble. Stitch count runs from 20,788 on the smallest to 26,109 on the largest, and the difference isnt dramatic because most of the count comes from the fine stem and leaf detail that stays constant across sizes. Built in my usual software, and the satin angle running along the petal edges is what gives the hand-illustration quality up close. Hoop taut, keep tension consistent, and dont attempt this on any fabric thinner than a medium-weight cotton without extra stabiliser layers underneath. Youll also want to slow the machine for the thinner stem sections or theyll skip on a looser weave.

A customer used this on a set of linen curtain panels last spring, stitched across the lower third of each panel. She ran it in black thread on natural linen and said it looked like printed fabric from a distance. Thats exactly the effect Im going for with a design like this. Use a firm tearaway for curtain or upholstery-weight linen to avoid waviness in the long stems. Pair it with navy or forest green thread on white linen for a contemporary botanical colourway that looks completely different from the standard black version.

4 sizes: 5.51x9 inches up to 7.35x12 inches. Stitch it on curtains, a table runner, a cushion front, or a denim jacket back where the tall proportions work in your favour.
