Floral Horse Head Embroidery Design V2, Instant Download

The horse faces right, neck arched, mane flowing back in long loose strands. The head is drawn with fine-line outlines only, no fill, so the actual fabric shows through inside the shape. Round the neck and lower jaw theres a cluster of botanical flowers. You can see hibiscus-style blooms, petals with pointed tips, smaller buds, and long teardrop leaves fanning out around em. All of it is the same single black thread, no colour changes, just varying stitch density to separate the flowers from the horse outline.

Its a blackwork style design but with more detail than the usual simple outlines. The mane strands have directional stitching so individual hairs read separately. The flowers use a mix of satin stitch petals and running stitch outlines so theres real texture contrast between the botanical section and the horse neck. 1 colour, 4 sizes, smallest 5 inches wide up to 8 inches. Stitch count starts at 24k and tops at 39k so plan for this one to take a bit of time.

Equestrian mums are my main buyers for this one. One customer last october had me customise the placement on a navy barn jacket, wanted the horse centred on the back panel and a small version on the left chest. The detail on the 8-inch reads beautifully at that size, you can actually see each flower petal seperately.

Linen is my favourite for this design. Natural oatmeal linen lets the black line work stand out without being harsh. Also looks gorgeous on a cream canvas tote or a dark navy denim jacket where the contrast really bites. Avoid fluffy fabrics like fleece because fine-line designs lose detail fast on pile surfaces. Use a cutaway stabiliser, the flower clusters need firm backing to keep the density consistent.

Hoop tight. The fine lines will wobble if the fabric shifts mid-stitch. Slow the machine down on the flower section where the density builds. Send me a chat if anything in the file isnt loading cleanly and I'll sort it the same afternoon.
