Botanical Jellyfish Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The dome on this one is filled with lil leaf clusters packed in tight, kinda like someone took a watercolour botanical print and decided to use it as the jellyfish body. Below the cap the tentacles are gone entirely, replaced by long trailing sprigs of herbs and small-leafed stems that fan out as they fall. On an aqua canvas tote the whole thing reads as this soft, otherworldly plant creature floating in shallow water.

my embroidery software mapped the botanical tentacle sections cleanly, treating each trailing sprig as its own path so the density stays even across the 665 stitches per square inch without the stems bunching up at the join points. 5 sizes from 3.5 inches wide to 7.5 inches, stitch count running 10,334 to 21,642. Theres 1 colour with no colour changes, so the machine runs straight through without stops. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser underneath to keep those fine herb stem lines from pulling up off the fabric.

A customer asked for this one on a linen apron after seeing it on a tote. She hooped it just below the chest pocket area and stitched it in two shades: sage for the stems and a slightly deeper lavender for the dome. Looked like something you'd find in a boutique kitchen shop.

Add it to a tea towel, a canvas market bag, or a linen cushion cover. Use topping on textured fabrics so the fine directional satin lines on the stems dont sink into the weave. Skip it on smooth quilting cotton, the underlay handles that fine on its own. Best to run a test hoop first if youre using a linen-cotton blend since those can pull unevenly.
