The frame itself is the thing here -- a clean black rectangular border, nearly square in proportion, with big open-faced pink flowers piling up at three of the four corners. Each blossom is five-petalled, wide open, with an orange-yellow centre and a visible stamen cluster. The green stems loop and cross between them with pointed leaves tucked in at the gaps. And the inside is completely empty, which is the whole point. Stitch whatever you want in there -- initials, a name, a date, a lil phrase, theres nothing stopping you once its on the fabric.
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio gave me precise control over the petal satin density -- 5 colours, 4 colour changes, and the petals run at a fill density of 435 which is on the moderate side. That means theyll stitch flat without puckering on lighter fabrics, which matters alot when youre working on a napkin or a thin cotton panel. Stitch count runs from 15,159 to 30,435 depending which size you hoop, and the frame runs from 4.5 inches up to 8.5 inches wide so theres real room to personalise the centre at the larger sizes.
This one gets used a lot for weddings and christenings. One customer used the 7-inch size on white pique napkins for a wedding table setting, it was clean and the pink held well against the white base. The black frame outline is a single-colour satin run, so if youre wanting to swap it to navy or a dusty rose to match a different colour scheme, thats one thread change and youre done. For christmas gift wrapping projects the 5-inch size on a kraft-coloured linen pouch works well too.
Use a medium cutaway stabiliser for anything you plan to wash regularly. Skip tearaway on soft fabric where the flower corner clusters sit -- the trim count at 231 in the mid sizes means you want a firmer base. Add a topping on any textured surface so the satin petals dont sink in. Check your machine tension before starting too, loose upper tension on the trim stops is the most common issue I see with files like this.
Email me if you want the frame without the flowers for a plain border version, I can sort that out.

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.
