Dandelion Butterfly Floral Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Mocked up a wide horizontal scene for this one, seven or 8 dandelion stems spread across the frame at different heights. The left side has the fullest seed heads, big round pom shapes with all the radiating spokes intact. Moving right the heads get more open, seeds pulling away, and then the seeds stop being seeds and turn into butterflies and small birds. By the far right edge its mostly flight, little winged shapes drifting apart across the top half of the frame. The transition happens gradually so you cant quite point to where it switches.

All black, one colour, no fills anywhere. Every shape is built from line. The seed-head centres are small dense satin circles with the spokes running out from them, each spoke ending in a tiny teardrop floret. The butterflies are two-wing silhouettes in varying sizes, the smallest clustering near the seeds and the largest drifting up toward the top edge where theyve got room to spread. A few birds mixed in, just wing-curve shapes, which gives it less of a butterfly-only look and more of a full migration feel.

Three sizes: 4.84 by 6.5 inches, 5.59 by 7.5, and 6.33 by 8.5. This is a landscape format, wider than it is tall. Stitch count from seventeen thousand 097 to twenty-one thousand 823. Density at 406, which keeps the fine linework crisp without overloading the fabric. my main software handled the digitising. A customer told me she put the large size on a sheer white linen curtain panel and the whole thing looked like a nature print in afternoon light. Cant argue with that.

Best on white, cream or pale grey fabric where the black linework reads clearly. Works on cotton, linen, light canvas and even sheer voile if you float it over a dissolving stabiliser. Skip dense pile fabrics, the fine spoke lines disappear. Keep the machine speed steady for the long spoke runs so they stay even. Hoop snugly but dont overstretch, a slight warp on linen can pull the horizontal baseline off-level.
