I'll be honest, the centre on this daisy gave me trouble to get right. Two separate rings of fill stitching, the outer a burnt orange, the inner a bright gold, and they had to line up without a visible seam between em. Took a few test runs but Im glad I stuck with it because that centre is what makes the whole thing pop. The petals are white with fine directional satin running from base to tip, each one outlined in charcoal, and together they give it this almost photographic quality you dont usually see in machine embroidery.
Its a big design. The largest size comes in at 7.5 inches across, which is genuinely substantial on fabric, and even at 3.5 inches the petal detail still reads clearly. At the top size youre looking at over 57,000 stitches, so plan your thread bobbins accordingly. Satin this dense on wide petals needs a solid cutaway stabiliser underneath, not a tearaway, especially on any knit or jersey material. On a crisp white linen or a heavy cotton twill youll get the cleanest result with minimal topping.
A customer of mine sent me a photo last month, had put the 7 inch on a dark denim jacket back and I was genuinely suprised how well those white petals held against indigo. Thats kind of the response I hoped for when I digitised this, something that works on casual items just as well as nicer ones. Use it centered on a canvas tote, hooped flush so theres no pull on the outer petals, and the white against natural canvas looks striking.
Pair this with navy or sage linen for the strongest contrast since those petals need a darker ground to really sing. Skip light-coloured fleece, the thread disappears and the satin sheen goes flat. Iron on a press cloth after stitching, not directly on the satin fills, to keep that slight gloss the directional underlay gives.
Stitch count density sits at around 1016 stitches per square inch, which means jump stitches between petal sections are minimal and the tatami fill in the centre disc locks in tight. Centre the hoop carefully, any tilt on a symmetrical bloom this size shows up alot more than on asymmetrical designs.
Send me a note if the trims run long on your setup.
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.
- Denim jacket back panelHonestly my favourite spot for this one is centred on the back of a dark denim jacket, those white petals just sit perfectly against indigo.
- Canvas tote bagA buyer put this on her farmers market tote in natural canvas and said customers kept stopping to ask where she bought it.
- White cotton pillowcaseNeeds a cutaway on stretchy cotton jersey pillowcases but the golden centre reads really nicely against crisp white percale.
- Garden apron bibIron-on tearaway works fine on a heavy canvas apron bib, and the 5 inch size fits the bib panel without crowding the edges.
- Linen table runnerStitch two or three repeats spaced evenly down cream linen for a table runner that looks like proper artisan work.
- Baby nursery hoop artThe 3.5 inch size hoops onto an embroidery hoop frame and makes a sweet nursery wall piece with the gold centre as the focal point.
- Fleece blanket cornerAvoid fleece for this one, the satin fill loses its sheen on pile fabric and the white petals blend into the nap.

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.
