This is the kind of border design I keep coming back to. Its not fussy, nothing is perfectly symmetrical, the stems lean at different angles, the flower heads vary in size, and it looks like something picked from an actual garden rather than drawn in a software grid. Open daisy shapes sit beside tall thin grass stems, fern frond clusters fill the gaps, and a few poppy buds poke up at different heights. All single dark green thread. One colour. Done.
Runs 7,015 stitches at the smallest size up to 13,172 stitches at the full 5.25 inch wide version, so stitch time is short even at the bigger sizes. The height range across all 5 sizes goes from 2.63 inches up to 8 inches tall, which gives you alot of flexibility for table runners versus napkin edges versus shirt hems. I digitised it in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with underlay runs beneath each stem so they sit upright and dont lean on lighter fabrics. Use tearaway stabiliser on woven home decor fabric and it comes away clean without puckering.
Tea-shop owners DM me asking for table runner sizes and brides order repeat sets for different events. Stitch it along napkin hems, tea towel edges, pillowcase borders, the horizontal format fits along the edge of almost anything. On white linen the dark green reads rich and botanical, on natural undyed linen it goes a bit more rustic which is equally good. Last spring a bride ordered eight of these for napkin sets and it looked like something from a high-end linen shop. People have been buying this specifically for wedding table linen. Skip synthetic fabrics for this one, the satin stem lines dont read as well on anything slippery or loosely woven. Email me if the file doesnt download properly and Ill get it back to ya same day.

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.
