Floral Bouquet with Ribbon Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Its a full hand-tied bouquet, the kind somebody might bring you from their garden. A big coral-red poppy sits at the centre and takes up most of the visual weight. Blue forget-me-not clusters come up on the left side, a yellow daisy-type flower tucks in lower down, and some soft cream open blooms fill the gaps with a looseness that stops the whole thing looking rigid. Green leaves fan out in every direction. The stems gather and tie with a cobalt blue satin bow at the base, and that bow carries real satin density so it reads as actual fabric rather than a flat shape.

10 colours, 9 stops, and the stitch count climbs from about 13.9k at the smallest to 32.6k at the full 7.5-inch size. Thats a complex piece and it shows. my embroidery software handled the digitising and the layering between petal colours is done properly, each colour has its own underlay pass before the satin fill goes down so you dont get bleed-through or registration gaps. Density sits at a solid 837 stitches per square inch. I got a message last month from a customer who stitched the 5.5-inch size onto a natural canvas tote and said it looked like something off a florist window display, which made my day.

Stitch on white or cream cotton for the clearest colour read. The green and blue hit hard against white, and the coral doesnt get muddy the way it sometimes does on off-white grounds. Skip stretchy fabric entirely, theres alot of short satin runs on the smaller petal elements and stretch will distort them. Back with a poly mesh cutaway on woven cotton or canvas. Hoop tight. Let your machine run at normal speed, dont crank it up for a complex piece like this.

Run the 4-inch size for pocket patches or small items and the 6 to 7.5-inch range for centrepieces like cushion fronts or tote bag panels. Best tests Ive done: white cotton quilting fabric, natural canvas, cream linen. All three give the 10-colour palette room to breathe.
