The floral bow is one of those designs where the shape does the work and the flowers do the talking. Big classic tied bow, the kind ya see on gift wrapping and bridal decor, but every panel is packed with botanical detail. Leaf branches trail from centre to the wing tips, lil daisies pop up in the corners of each lobe, and berry sprigs fill in the gaps. The tail pieces have their own smaller branch clusters running diagonal from the knot down to the pointed ends.
Everything runs in 1 colour, deep navy blue, which gives it that delft china look. Nine sizes to pick from, smallest comes in at 3.15 inches wide and 8,819 stitches, and the biggest stretches to 6.73 inches and clocks 17,781 stitches. The digitising on this one is dense through the bow body and lighter on the botanical line work, so the satin sections dont get crusty and the fine stems stay crisp. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the underlay routing so the thread direction shifts between the bow fill and the leaf veins.
Honestly this is the one I get the most repeat buys on. A customer wrote me last spring saying she stitched the 5-inch size on white cotton hair scrunchies for bridesmaids gifts and her whole wedding party wanted extra ones. Its kinda that kind of design, people see it and want it on everything.
Stitch on white, cream or light grey fabric and the navy pops beautifully. Avoid busy prints here because the interior floral detail gets lost if theres too much going on in the background. A firm cutaway stabiliser works best under woven cotton or linen, and if youre hooping jersey you really want the mesh wash-away topping over the top to stop the stitches sinking into the pile.
Pick the 3.15-inch for pocket squares, sock cuffs and shirt collars. Use the 6.73-inch for cushion covers, tote bag fronts, and linen napkins. Drop me a note if your file doesnt load right in your software and Ill check the format pack for ya.

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.
