Floral Awareness Ribbon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Worked on this one for a customer who wanted something a bit more personal than a plain ribbon. The design is an awareness ribbon with small flowers and botanical leaves growing across the entire surface, they spill up both sides and tuck under the fold at the bottom. Its not stuck on top, the floral elements are woven into the shape so it reads as one integrated piece rather than a ribbon with stickers on it.

Eight colours total. Theres the ribbon base, two or three bloom shades, leaf greens, a stem colour, and a couple of accent tones depending on how you thread it. Density comes in at 575 which is on the heavier side. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and dont try to hoop this on a single layer of jersey without topping. The floral fill is directional in places and the column stitching on the bands will shift if the fabric has stretch. Ive had it stitched on linen, cotton canvas, and a denim jacket and all three held beautifully. Stitch on anything with nap using water-soluble topping or you lose the petal edge detail. Skip the topping on smooth canvas and youre fine.

Five sizes ranging from 3.51 inches wide 7.5 ceiling wide. smallest fits 10158 stitches and the largest stretches to 26239 on the large. The 7 inch version is genuinely striking on a tote bag or back panel, flower detail is readable at distance. Pair it with a plain font name or date underneath if its for a memorial piece.

punched in professional embroidery software and colour-mapped carefully so the thread changes arent wasteful. A quilter wrote me this spring saying she put stitching the 5-inch run on a memory block for her mums cancer anniversary and it came out exactly as she hoped. Cant ask for more than that.
