The rose uses overlapping scarlet satin layers, each petal running individually with directional underlay underneath to lift it slightly. When youre looking at the finished piece, you can actually see where one petal sits in front of another, the layering reads clearly even at the 2-inch size. An emerald stem curves up to the bloom with two sage leaves angling out on either side, each leaf getting flat satin with a spine stitch running down the centre. Its one those designs you see everywhere but this version has clean digitising that actually holds up at smaller sizes.

The density sits at 371 spi density delivers is moderate, solid enough to give the scarlet good coverage without making the bloom stiff when its hooped. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath on cream pillow fabric, tearaway wont be enough to support the satin density in the bloom section. A customer wrote to me back in february after stitching the mid 4-in on a cream pillow cover and said the rose looked like something from a botanical print, which is exactly the vibe I was going for with the layering. Stitch the bloom colour first, then the leaves, then the stem last so the thread sequence reads in the right order on the bobbin.

9 sizes go from 1.98 inches wide up to four inches and twenty-five hundredths, stitch counts running from 4,242 at the smallest to 11,834 at the largest. Add this to a cream pillow, a tote bag, a linen napkin, or a collar. Pop it on a denim jacket pocket if you want something a bit more casual with the same classic look. Skip very dark fabric on the leaves, the sage green can disappear against navy or charcoal. Format options live on the file-formats page.
