Floral Corner Vine Line Art Embroidery Design, Baroque Botanical Pattern, Instant Download

This one goes in the corner, thats the whole idea. Its a single sprawling vine that starts at the top left, curls down the left side and sweeps right along the bottom edge, filling the L-shape with baroque scrollwork, thick and thin stems, pointed leaf clusters and little spiral tendrils at every terminal curl. Its the kind of ornate border you see carved into old furniture or printed on vintage stationery, done here as single-needle outline stitching in black thread.

Nothing is filled in. Every line is a single run which is what keeps the stitch count low, just 2,443 on the 3-inch and 3,794 on the largest size at just under 6 inches. That low density means it stitches fast and sits flat on the fabric, no stiffness around the spiral tips. And because it tiles, four copies rotated and mirrored corner-to-corner gives you a full decorative frame, which is how quite a few of my customers use it.

Last winter one customer sent me photos after she stitched this onto the corners of a set of white linen dinner napkins. They looked genuinely like antique heirloom linen. Put this on the right fabric and that kind of result is achievable at home with very little fuss.

Use a pin-point tearaway stabiliser under the hoop. Stitch on linen, cotton poplin, denim or cotton quilting fabric for the cleanest line work. Avoid stretch fabrics because the vine outline distorts on anything that moves under the needle. Pull the tearaway slowly after stitching so the fine spiral tips dont lift.
