Floral Anchor Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a proper anchor, chunky and solid, with a bunch of little open flowers and trailing stems woven through the ring at the top and spilling down the shank. The blooms are rendered in outline so they sit inside the black silhouette like windows cut straight through it. Small petals, rounded centres, a few sprigs of leaves tucked between em. The whole thing reads as one shape from a distance and then you notice the florals when you get close.

Single colour. All black. And thats actually what makes it flexible, you stitch it in whatever thread colour suits the fabric you're hooping. Navy on white linen, white on navy canvas, sage green on cream denim. I made a version last summer in rust-brown on a burlap tote for a customer running a fishing tackle shop and the pictures she sent me were realy nice. The florals gave it enough softness that it didnt look like plain workwear.

5 sizes from 2.60 inches wide up to 5.57 inches, so ya can put the smallest on a patch pocket or a hat brim and the biggest on a full tote panel or a jacket back. Stitch count runs between 5,461 and 15,492 depending on the size, which means even the largest version is pretty quick to run out. One colour stop. Done.

Run tearaway under woven cotton, canvas or linen. The anchor body has some dense satin fill sections on the flukes and ring so keep your tension consistent and dont rush the bobbin checks mid-run. Avoid stretchy jersey here without cutaway backing because the shank column pulls tight at the density my professional tool digitised it at.
