Butterfly Crescent Curve Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Got this one sitting in a crescent-moon arc shape. Starting from the upper left, theres a trail of filled magenta butterflies of decreasing size as they curve around and down, then at the pivot point the colour shifts to dark navy blue with more small butterflies trailing off to the right. The whole thing forms a soft C or crescent without any frame around it. Looks like a scatter of butterflies mid-flight caught in a gentle curve.

2 colors: dark magenta and dark navy. Smaller hoop at 3.5 inches keeps trims minimal with 4,369 stitches, 11,510 on the 7-in top size. Just 1 color change, 17 trims. One of the quicker ones to stitch in my collection. Tape a poly-mesh under the hoop bed on anything with stretch, tearaway on stable wovens. And dont skip the stabiliser thinking the stitch count is too low to matter, the curved shape will distort without it.

I get a lot of people using this for placement on curved areas where a straight motif wouldnt work. Stitch it along a sleeve cuff, run it along a collar edge, use it as a corner accent on a canvas tote. A customer this spring stitched it along the neckline of a cotton blouse and the arc followed the neckline curve almost exactly. Stitch it on a denim pocket edge for a subtle accent, put it along a scarf hem, use it on a drawstring pouch for a spring gift set. The crescent shape is what makes it different from a regular scattered butterfly design.
