She sent me a photo last month of this stitched on a linen tote, just the single wildflower stem running up one side of the bag with nothing else around it. It looked like something from a boutique shop window. Thats the thing about a tall narrow botanical, it doesnt need to be centered or symmetrical, it can live in a corner of the fabric and still look intentional.
The petals layer through peach to blush pink, with a different tone for the center so it has depth. Nine thread colours, eight changes, spread out so its not one of those fiddly designs that has you swapping every 50 stitches. The bud at the bottom stops the stem looking unfinished, it gives the whole thing a sense of the plant still growing.
Pop a medium tearaway under woven fabrics before you hoop. On denim or canvas go heavier. The designs tall and narrow, 4.59 inch at the largest, so check your hoop clearance top and bottom before you start. Stitch counts run from 11,835 at the smallest up to 26,792 at the largest, which is fast even on an older machine. Use a topping on linen if the weave is loose enough to catch the needle.
Nine sizes, 2.14 inch up to 4.59 inch height. Send me a message if anything comes out wrong and ill have a look.

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.
