Heres a butterfly sitting in the middle of a tall floral border, its arranged like a vertical column. Butterfly takes the centre with wings spread open. Small flowers and leaves wrap around the top and bottom edges, framing the wings without crowding them. The whole piece reads as one continuous floral medallion, vertical orientation, taller than wide.

Eight thread colours layer the design. Soft pink and burgundy fill the butterfly wing patches and the larger flower buds. Mustard yellow handles the smallest flower centres and a few wing accent dots. Sage green carries every leaf. Cream lifts the underwing and inner flower highlights. Black outlines run thin around the wing edges and around the antennae, gives it just enough definition.

Stitch count holds light for the colour count, 8.4k on the smallest 2.46 inch size up to 20.1k on the biggest 5.28 inch version. Density runs at 508, low for a satin-heavy floral. Eight colour changes, you do alot of thread swaps but each one only takes a minute. The file digitised cleanly in my industry tools test, no jumps got tangled.

I get messages every spring from mums planning easter table linens or valentines day pillow gifts. My garden-club friend ordered six prints for her tea-room placemats this past april. Stitch on cream, oat, white, sage, pale blush or pale lavender. Avoid charcoal or black fabric since the pastel border flowers get muddy on dark. Dont try patterned aswell, this design wont read against busy backgrounds, theres no contrast.

Lay medium cutaway under, hoop snug. Add water-soluble topping on terry or fleece because the small flower fills will sink without it. Slow the machine on the wing pattern pass since theres tiny detail there. Youll get cleaner edges that way, dont rush it. Hit the contact tab if the file size runs slow on older software.

Behind every stitch

About the artist

Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site

Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.

That's the joy I work for.

The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
