This one is a classic red rose cluster, the kind you'd expect to find pressed in a book or painted on old china. Two full-bloom roses sit front and center, petals stacked tight with that cut-paper silhouette look, a single bud rising above them and broad pointed leaves fanning out underneath. The whole thing is solid deep red, single colour, no outlines, no gradients. Just shape and satin stitch density doing all the work.
Its got 5 sizes from 3.5" up to 7.5" wide so youve got plenty to work with depending on your hoop. The smallest comes in at 10,522 stitches which is actually pretty light for how much detail is in it. The larger sizes hit up toward 27,000 so back those with a firm cutaway on thicker fabric. Use a topping on any textured linen weave so the satin fill sits cleanly on the surface.
I use this a lot on kitchen and home items and last autumn I made a run of tea towels with this for a market stall. Red on white linen looked really sharp, nearly sold out the same afternoon. No colour changes in the file so the machine runs clean start to finish. Hit the download button, load your files, stitch it on whatever youve got and see how it reads. Use a medium tearaway stabiliser on cotton if youre not doing linen. Stitch it on dark fabric if you want something more dramatic. And if youve got questions about the colour or setup, just ask.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Decorating white linen tea towels for a kitchen setThe red-on-white contrast is stark and clean on natural linen, looks almost like a linocut print
- Stitching onto the pocket of a plain linen apronPocket placement on an apron works best at the 3.5" size so it sits neatly without overlapping the seam
- Adding to a tote bag for a garden or market themeA plain canvas tote picks up the silhouette beautifully, especially in natural or cream fabric
- Embroidering onto throw pillow covers for a romantic bedroom lookTwo roses side by side on a pair of pillow covers makes a matched set that looks intentional, not accidental
- Using on a cotton bandana or scarf as a botanical accentThe tight satin stitch holds well on woven scarves as long as you use a topping on textured weaves
- Personalising a canvas zip pouch as a giftDark navy or forest green canvas pouches with this in red stand out really nicely as handmade gifts

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.
