This one has a lighter, more open feel than most border designs. The flowers arent perfectly round or symmetrical. Theres a cluster of rounder blooms sitting low on the baseline, some small berry sprigs rising above them on thin stems, and a mix of wide and narrow leaves fanning out to the sides. The whole thing has that botanical sketchbook look, like someone drew it freehand then digitised it.
So its outline only, no fill anywhere inside the petals or leaves. The satin stitching just traces the edges, which keeps the density really low. At the smallest 4-inch size youre under 3,200 stitches, and even the 8-inch comes in around 5,400. Thats genuinely light, lighter than most single-colour outline designs at this scale, and it means the fabric moves freely under it without stiffening up.
Reach out if you want advice matching thread weight to your base fabric, Im happy to help. One customer needed this for a set of muslin gift bags she was making for a craft market last christmas, she hooped the 5-inch batch in terracotta thread on natural muslin and they sold out before the market closed. The open outline style makes any thread colour pop on a natural background. Use tear-away stabiliser on woven, and topping on any textured fabric like waffle weave or linen.
Skip dense knit fabrics for this one. The fine stem stitches and open areas wont hold clean on jersey without topping and even then its tricky. Stick to wovens and you wont have any issues.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Muslin or cotton gift bag botanical detailWorks on natural muslin drawstring bags in any earth-tone thread, the open outline style gives a handmade illustrated look without adding bulk
- Linen tea towel hem clusterStitch along the hem of a linen tea towel in a matching linen-toned thread and it reads like a woven botanical detail rather than an add-on embellishment
- Wedding favour pouch decorationSmall enough at 4-5 inch to fit across the face of a cotton wedding favour pouch with room for a name or monogram alongside
- Quilting sashing botanical accentUse as a sashing accent on a quilt where you need botanical texture without the weight or thread usage of a full fill design
- Tote bag top handle borderRun it along the top edge of a canvas tote near the handles where a smaller, airier motif works better than a heavy border
- Lightweight blouse hem or sleeve edgeLight enough to stitch on a lightweight cotton or viscose blouse hem without the fabric puckering or dragging
- Journal cover or notebook fabric wrapStitch on a linen fabric panel and wrap it around a hardback journal cover for a soft botanical-print effect

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.
