Floral Frame Border Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Drew this one up as a split-border format, two horizontal bars with wildflowers growing upward from the top rail and cascading downward from the bottom one. Theres lavender spikes, open tulip shapes, daisy-like blooms, dandelion seed heads, and alot of layered foliage filling in between. The whole thing has that pressed-botanicals feel, kinda like something out of an old nature sketchbook. And floral frame borders like this one are harder to find digitised cleanly than you might think.

Its actually 2 colours even though it reads as monochrome at small sizes. Dark green does the underlay base on the denser leaf clusters while black runs the majority of the outline work, 17,615 stitches on the largest colour pass alone. That directional satin on the big bold leaves is what gives the design its depth when stitched onto natural linen or ecru cotton.

Specs: 3 sizes hooped at 7, 8, and 9 inch wide. Stitch count goes 17,640 at 7 inches up to 21,772 at 9 inches. Color changes 1, trims range 131 to 149 across sizes. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with max stitch 7mm. Use a cutaway stabiliser behind dense cotton or canvas. Pair with a tearaway on lighter quilting fabric. Add water-soluble topping if youre hooping terry or knit so the open-line flowers dont sink into the pile. Skip dark base fabrics unless you swap to a contrasting thread colour.

One customer asked me last spring to scale it down for a 5-inch bookmark panel and I emailed her the 7-inch file with a note to reduce via her software. Stitch density stays realy solid even scaled back 20 percent. Hit me with questions and Ill sort it out.
