A crafter from my mailing list bought a set last winter she'd stitched the big 5-inch daisy on a natural linen tote and sent me a photo. The petals looked like they were actually growing out of the fabric. Thats the reaction you hope for when you put this much stitch time into a design, so Im kinda just glad it landed that way.
Its a single daisy, full bloom, petals fanned out wide and facing forward. Each petal is done in directional satin so the stitches run lengthwise along the petal rather than across it, and thats what gives the design its dimension. White petals with a fine charcoal outline, and then an amber orange centre filled in with a tight spiral tatami pattern that sits up just slightly above the flat petals around it. The stem is a slim satin column in dark charcoal. No leaves, no extra flourishes, just the flower and stem, clean and botanically precise.
Use a cutaway stabiliser on anything with stretch, jersey or fleece especially, the density is 729 and those satin petals need a firm base or the edges lift. And honestly you dont want to skip the underlay either, set that first before running the petals. On terry cloth or towelling, lay a water-soluble topping over the hoop so the satin stitches dont sink into the loops and disappear on you.
Pair this on natural linen or canvas and the cream white petals really sing against the texture of the weave. On a white cotton surface it can blend a bit, so Id go with a coloured cloth instead, sage green or navy backgrounds look realy good. Pop the smallest 2.6 inch version onto a baby bib front or a shirt pocket, it fits without crowding. Stitch the bigger sizes on a linen cushion cover and it genuinely reads like framed botanical art.
Leave the topping off smooth woven cotton, its not needed there and it just adds cleanup time. Center the design carefully on the hoop, specially on items like apron bibs where off-centre stands out. Iron a light tearaway onto structured items before hooping, it helps the satin petals sit flat on zippered pouches or hat brims with no bunching underneath.
Send me a quick note if you cant get the colours to match mine.
What people are using this design for

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.
