Butterfly and Wildflower Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two red coneflowers, their petals pulling back like they always do when theyre fully open, and a large golden butterfly has landed right on the front one. Wings spread wide, the forewings are a deep amber-gold with black spots scattered across and thick black veining along the edges. A smaller butterfly hovers just above in matching colours, smaller but the same species. The stem and leaves below are a warm teal green. Strong black outlines hold the whole thing together so it reads crisply even at the smaller sizes.

Six colours and density running at 1,320 which is genuinely high, so the textures come out really realy rich on fabric. Stitch count goes from 21,710 at the smallest 3.51-inch size up to 53,136 on the big 7.51-inch. The wing sections use satin columns with directional transitions from amber into gold, and the coneflower petals have individual directional fills pulling toward the centre seed head. Its proper industry-grade software digitising work and it shows.

Garden-themed home decor people buy this alot, cushions and tote bags mostly. But I also get steady orders from cottagecore clothing makers who want it on linen skirts and jacket backs. My daughter asked me to put it on her cream canvas backpack last summer and honestly it looked brilliant, the red and gold against the natural canvas was just right. She wont stop wearing it.

Stitch on white, cream or natural fabrics for the strongest colour payoff. Use a firm mesh cutaway stabiliser on knits because the density is high enough to pucker jersey without it. On stable woven cotton or linen a standard tearaway works fine. Hoop snug and slow your machine slightly on the dense wing fill sections so the satin columns sit flat. Dont skip the topping if youre hooping towelling or any looped fabric.
